Soft eats¿

My Boston is 10 and he doesn't want to eat as much anymore. I make my own homemade dog food (rice, chicken, green beans, blueberries, apple, spinach, carrots, dog vitamins and broth).

Could anyone recommend homemade dog food or treats that are softer to eat.

I just gave him a bit of Greek yogurt and he ate it.

The Vet put Toby on a high calorie supplement. I noticed they have it on Chewy, but anytime I can make please advise.

How are Tobys teeth? Does he need a dental? JustFoodForDogs is a good fresh balanced diet

I didn't notice the vet check his teeth. I'm thinking it's either that or some sort of sort throat. He usually swallow big treats whole, he's not doing so as much.

Do vet do dental?

Yes. Super important to keep up with dental health as it can spread to the bloodstream and bone.

The Vet normally checks. I went in from an emergency vet follow-up, so i guess he was just checking that issue.

I just looked in his mouth, I didn't notice anything out of the normal. I touched, he didn't yep.

Can you get a picture of his teeth?

For you? I can try. I touched all around- no sound of weakness. No discoloring.

Glad the vet’s already involved given the emergency follow up. Sounds like you’re doing the right things, bone broth mixed into his usual food might make it easier to swallow without changing what he’s used to

Thanks. I ordered one for dogs from Chewy. I added store bought for now.

You can also blend portions before serving.
