Soft food is not bad for dogs, but they clean their teeth through the scraping action of hard food. If you feed your dog soft food, be ready to brush it's teeth once a week. OR... If brushing isn't practical, give them crunchy treats after the soft food. Durable chews (like rawhide) will also help scrape their teeth clean.
Cheerios are not bad for dogs but look and see if you have any time to go to pet smart and get real treats. Dog treats there are cheap and great quality for a dog. My dog goes crazy for those treats!

All dogs can develop tartar on their teeth. You should make sure your dog is receiving a proper diet and try to clean their teeth around once a week with an enzyme toothpaste & toothbrush- they usually love the taste but not so much the brushing. If the tartar has become bad and their teeth are badly discolored and their breath smells bad, it is probably time for them to go to the vet for a teeth cleaning which usually runs around $300. There are also tartar control treats you can buy to prevent further buildup.
