Should you be feeding your dog soft food mixed with hard food while he is losing puppy teeth?

NO! A healthy dog shouldn't "need" soft food at any stage in life (from infant to senior). If you feel the need to offer softer foods, add a little hot water to his kibble and let it sit on the counter to cool. Mush it up with a fork, and you'll have a relatively soft food to offer. Don't leave it out though... moist food is a haven for bacteria. So once he's finished with it, toss any left overs. Sorry, but I disagree. Some hard foods can be concentrated so I have fed all my dogs mostly hard food, with a good brand of soft food (lots of veggies in it with exception of corn products or filtering organs.) Three of my dogs lived to be 18 - 20 years old and the dogs we have now are healthy and happy.
