If you want a 'gravy train' type kibble, Merrick Grammie's pot pie kibble is such that if you add water to it, it makes its own "gravy." While I do not use this food now (or any commercial dog food for that matter), I have used it in the past and my dog's liked it and it was a little softer.
We do the brushing, but I'm a believer in the hard kibble. I tried raw for awhile and noticed I was having to brush more tartar off. Thank you for the Grammies pot pie tip.
