Is it normal for my poodle to swallow her food whole without chewing?

Question

My miniature poodle doesn’t chew her food. I am feeding her Royal canin for poodles. She loves it but swallows it whole. Is this ok?

Though not optimal, as long as she isn't vomiting then it should be fine. If she is a fast eater, you can try feeding smaller meals more frequently or consider a slow feed bowl. Soaking the food beforehand may also help.
