Not chewing kibble

[myrottie_chyna]

I have been gringing up my pups kibble since I got her. She is now 8 1/2 weeks old. As time as gone on, Ive made the pieces gradually bigger, mixed with some whole pieces. Now I barely grind it at all. I always mix it with hot water and let it set a few minutes, but the kibble is still kinda hard.
I never hear her crunch the whole pieces though. The ground up parts make a pasty gravy, so is she just swallowing them along with it? Will it hurt her that she is not chewing the pieces up? She is almost totally on Canidae now with only a tad of Nutro natural choice in it. The bag of nutro is now gone, so as soon as my lastest batch of ground kibble is gone, she will be totally on Canidae.
Is she old enough now to stop grinding the kibble, and just wet it with warm water? She can crunch the kibble fine, I give them to her as treats. But Ive never just given her a cup of plain kibble w/o water.
This morning she decided my DSL filter on my phone jack was a tasty treat...
Good thing I had an extra one!

I would feed whole kibble but still add the water. My adults still get water in their food. They choke less on wet kibble. BTW none of my dogs chew kibble much

Re chewing food: Miller and Buddy never seem to chew, but Soapie always does. That is why she keeps her girlish figure, I guess.
Miller sometimes seems to inhale his food and once in a while chokes a little on it, even though I always mix it with water.
