Default Food-hard time chewing

It appears that my Codi girl is having a hard time chewing her food. She is on Fromm-and I am thinking about going to something a little softer? Not sure what I should do, but she is 9 years old, and she is starting to slow down. So she is gaining some weight, but I am worried about her not being able to eat due to the food being too hard?

Any advice?

You could always add a little hot water to soften the kibble. That would help. Fromm doesn't contain Citric Acid so that wouldn't be an issue.

Kaos (9.5) has just started to seem to be having a hard time as well....in fact if I give him a hard treat, he will push it around his mouth and then just spit it out. I just add a little hot water and a little canned food to each meal....seems to help him. Good luck
