My mini daschund puppy has problems chewing?

Her teeth are so little but shes like 3 months old... she can't chew up adult dog food which i give her now I have two other mini daschunds and I started them on adult dog food at this age. she also can't eat puppy chow either the kibbles. All the stores near me are closed so I can't get her some caned food also I can't get her some tomarow because its Sunday. So in the meantime could I mix milk with her dog food she is under weight and is always shivering so would milk make the food softer for her AND fatten her up???? Thanks!

Boil the kettle. Pour the hot water over her kibble, just enough that it will soak it all up. Let it sit for 5-10 mins, or until it cools, DO NOT give it to her hot.


This will soften the food and also make it warm for her, she should gulp it down.


If not, there may be a prolem with her teeth, she could have an infection, and will need to see the vet.
Reply:I wouldn't add milk to her food but a little water will do to soften it up so that she can eat it.
Reply:Don't use milk, dogs can't digest the lactase. You can try water, though
Reply:all dogs chew
Reply:you can soften it with water or boil some beef or chicken bones and add the broth to her food. Don't add salt.
Reply:A little bit of wam water, then let it sit until it gets soggy, it won't take to long. Don't mix it with milk.
Reply:i would not recommend the milk use warm water or chicken broth and here is a trick i used with my Pitt I made some rice with extra water when rice was done i drained the water into a pot and poured it over her food until soften the mixed it up a little gave it to her now she has both the food she needed and the weight
Reply:I would not add Milk ,I would cover the food with warm water and let it set for a little while and then give it to her.You may need to make a Vet visit if she keeps shaking and not eating or thriving,Something could be wrong.Good Luck!
