Risa is a typical corgi when it comes to eating. He's golluping and swallowing his food so fast, that he often hiccups after meal. However, what I'm really worried about is his jaw. His mandible is too narrow, so his stomach tooht (aka lower canine?) is getting right into the gum of his upper jaw making a tiny hole there (without being bloody or inflamed). I give Risa a lot of things to chew, but the jaw is still narrow. Yesterday I spoke with my vet about this. Half year ago he advised me to feed corgi small breed kibble. Now he changed his mind and told me to switch to "normal breed" kibble, because it has bigger pieces, which he will have to really chew, not just swallow. I agree with that, also I understand, that without chewing he will soon suffer from dental plague. But I also remember the difficulties when changing his food last time - 14 days of diarrhea, cooking chicken+rice... And also I thought that corgi is rather a "small breed (1-10kg)" than "normal breed (10-25kg)".
Do you feed your corgi "small breed" or "normal breed"? I want Risa to have healthy teeth, but don't want to give him wrong food.
