Our oldest dog is a doberman named Coors. He has no front teeth, but does have pretty decent back ones so I haven't worried to much about him eatng. Wayne and I were watching him eat a chicken quarter last night, and he was having a time chewing. He was chewing with all his strength but still not able to get through the bone. He crunched once or twice then started trying to swallow it whole. It got stuck in his throat twice and he gagged until it came back. He finally managed to get it down, but it scared us cause we were afraid he would really choke. He needs bigger cuts of meat because he is a gulper, BAD. Even when we fed kibble he was bad to gulp. I literaly had to put two huge rocks in his bowl to make him slow down. I have given him drumsticks, but I don't think he even tastes them they go down so fast. What can we try with him that will have bone, but that he will be able to chew?
