the soft is not ideal as i have a maltese with gum disease and have been reading a ton on this -- soft food gets under the gum line easier than dry but if you brush their teeth at least once a day i would assume that would help - you could add organic baked chicken to kibble as well or maybe sodium free chicken broth but if his gums hurt him then i would go with soft as he is stressed in a new home so i would not do anything to upset him further and maybe change food later |
