I was worried when they pulled several of Ben's teeth that looked like "chewing teeth." The vet told me not to worry, he could eat just fine. So, I read a little and found info saying they could eat hard kibble even with no teeth! A little surprise to me.
Look at that...you learn something new everyday!! I thought the reason that dogs with no teeth at all could still eat kibble is that they just swallowed it whole....lots of big dogs WITH teeth gulp their kibble down without chewing! I had no idea they would crunch/chew with their gums....crazy! You'd think it would be tender, but maybe it toughens up over time??
