troutkingmaster Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I would assume that my 3.5 month old Lab is going to start teething within a month or 2, Will she need soft food while teething or will she still be fine with hard food? I guess I dont know how tender their mouth gets. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I never had a problem with the hard food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machohorn Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I always water mine down, my trainer said that he wolfs his food and with a young throat he could scar it. when I say wolf I mean 2 cups in 30 seconds or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode2235 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 It is a very painful time for the pup, whatever you can do to make it a little easier for them.We softened our English Setter's food for her for a couple weeks. Of course she is a setter and a little soft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Our Dane had some problems eating while teething. Wetting it down with water helped a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikehunter Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I have a Brit who is currently teething, but I haven't had to water down his food any. One tip I did get he really enjoys though: Plug one end of a kong toy and fill it with water and pop it in the freezer overnight. Then let him chew on it for awhile the next day. The cold kong will sooth his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode2235 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yeah, another great thing that our setter liked was a few ice cubes in an old sock. Tie it off and let them chew on that for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
