His teeth will be fine. Kibble isn't hard enough to fracture teeth, only antlers, bones and some toys can wear down teeth over time. However, you should try softening it a bit until he is used to the kibble and a bit stronger so that he an easily eat his food. In the next few weeks to a month he should be able to eat his food better. : ) Also just keep Best wishes with your pet Vuki and his puppy food. Take care.
