Yes, they can, but only if they are fed soft, moist food, such as a ground-textured canned dog food. It's rather common for some older dogs to have lost their teeth due to age and gum disease, so they have to have a diet of very soft food that basically requires no chewing. They can also be fed baby food, which comes in many different selections. Ask your vet which ones would be best for your dog in order to ensure it gets a balanced diet.

I have heard that a dogs mouth is cleaner then a humans, but I don't see how this is possible as dogs eat poop and other disgusting things. Dogs mouths are cleaner than humans because they eat dog food which has rich protein and vitamins Dogs teeth can crush bones that would probably splinter human teeth, so dog's teeth are probably stronger.
