Add water to dry dog food. As your dog continues to lose his teeth you will need to purchase a softer type of dry food such as Bil Jac. You can also add enough water to the dry food to make it easier for the dog to eat without hurting his mouth.
Feed canned food to your dog if he is unable to eat softened dry food. If this causes diarrhea, talk with your veterinarian on how to help stop it. The dog may have to skip a meal or you may need to add a small amount of softened dry food in with canned.
Add water to canned food. For dogs that are having difficulty in chewing canned food, water may need to be added to soften it even more. Ask your veterinarian about adding baby food, yogurt, or cottage cheese to the canned food as well to add nutrition and flavor to the watered-down canned food.
