My Yorkie won't eat dental food. What dog food should I try?

Question

Molly has just turned one therefore we've transitioned her to adult food. Our vet has recommended that we put her on dental food since she is a Yorkie and is prone to dental things but I've noticed that she hasn't been eating it and we've been giving her soft food and she'll devour it. my question is what should we do? I know giving her soft food isn't the greatest for dental health but for me all that is important is for her to eat? Any other good dog food?

I would try her on a dry food for small dogs. The pieces are small and easier to chew than the dental diet, and usually tastier also. There are several excellent small breed foods now so check out ones that are available in your area. Giving some caned with the dry food is fine. Chewing on sterilized dental chews may be all she needs to minimize any future dental problems. I've used them and they really keep down the tartar buildup and dogs love chewing them.
