My tiny Pomeranian puppy's kibble gets stuck. What dry food helps?

Question

I have a 2.5 month Pomerania and he weighs 2 pounds. The vet says to put him on dry puppy food now but even the small kibble he gets stuck in his mouth. Should I wait a while longer? I’ve tried soaking it in warm water but same problem, he has very sharp teeth! Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | unneutered | 2 lbs

Hello, thank you for using Pet Coach. I do agree with your vet that he should be started on dry food. I suggest you use one that is small bites made for EXTRA small breed puppies like this from Royal Canin. ( ) It really should not be getting stuck in his mouth. Is he eating too fast? If so, then you may need to get a special bowl to slow down his eating. ( ) You really could make a DIY slow feeder bowl at home by using an ice cube tray or egg holder tray. Just put one or two kibble in each "hole" which will make him slow down to eat. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
