Poppy's Mamma ♥ Donating Member | When to put her on dry food? I have heard that dry food is better for their teeth. Poppy is 8 weeks at the moment and I would say most if not all of her baby teeth are in. She is on wet canned food at the moment (meat) and I was wondering how old should she be before I introduce her to dry food? Because I dont want her to choke or something if she cant crunch it properly... I know I am suposed to introduce it slowly by mixing with her wet food just need to know at what age? Thanks

| She should be able to eat dry food, just grind it in a coffee grinder that it looks like coffee granules and mix it in her wet food and slowly make it more dry than wet. |

| I have 8 week old kittens eating the dry food and I don't grind it up. It should be the same for pups. I didn't grind it up for chachi when he was that age
