My senior dog has dental issues and is losing weight. What soft food?

Question

My lab mixed is about 10 years old and is having dental problems. I have noticed that she is having a hard time eating and is losing weight. So I'm going to switch her to a senior soft food. But I was wondering if there might be a recommendation of a brand or type? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 98 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would recommend that you switch her to a canned or wet diet that may be easier for her to eat. Also, if she appears to have a severe dental disease, an evaluation by a veterinarian is warranted. They may be able to evaluate her teeth and see if she would benefit from having a dental cleaning or perhaps having teeth extractions. Good luck and have a good night!
