It is possible that a puppy wont eat her dogfood because she is loosing her baby teeth?

My puppy doesn't like to eat her kibble anymore. She is loosing her baby teeth. Could this be why? What can I do to get her to eat her food?

Yes, that could very possibly be the reason.





Maybe you can feed her canned food, or mix in canned with kibble? You can also soak her kibble with water before her meal or soak it with sodium-free beef/chicken broth to make the kibble soft.





EDIT


Sure! Canidae is a good brand.

I also wanted to add- I would buy her some bullysticks to chew on, to ease the pain. Ice cubes are fun and help ease the pain as well.
Reply:When my puppy went thru the teething process not too long ago her appettite changed drastically. Try wetting the food a bit for her or buying some canned wet food for her. Teething is a very painful thing for a young pup to go thru.
Reply:You can soak it in water or give her a little can food to much could cause lose stool so just be careful the amount until you see how she does on it
