My two pups are very choosey about their food. I really want them to eat kibble because I have read about how bad Yorkshire Terrier's teeth can get. I've tried to break it up and moisten it with chicken broth, warm water, or even mix it with soft dog food. I even mix it with boiled chicken and their soft food but they nose through it and only eat the soft food/chicken mixture.

I've read about only putting the kibble down at feeding time and only giving the puppy 30 minutes to eat it and taking it away, but I just can't do it! I'm not sure if it's the type of kibble, but I use Innova puppy right now.

I leave a bowl of kibble down for them throughout the day and they get a mixture of soft food/boiled chicken and kibble twice a day. The kibble that's mixed into their breakfast and dinner is always left on the plate. They love the boiled chicken breast and the Innova soft food. They do, however, take approximately 3-4 pieces of kibble a day and snack on it, but they won't stand and eat the kibble consistently.

I give them lots of dental chews and brush their teeth once a week. Are they getting enough nutrition from the Innova puppy canned food mixed with the boiled chicken? Should I try a different brand of kibble? Also, is there anything I should be doing differently for preventative dental care? Thanks in advance, let me know if anyone else has or had this problem, or even if it's that much of a problem at all!
