I do not recommend soaking dog food in water because dog food is often formulated for the unique needs of dogs, and adding water may change the nutritional properties of the dog food. Dog food should be dry. Dry dog food can help clean your dog's teeth. If your dog needs to add water to eat the dog food, you can add some warm water to the dog food, but don't let it soak for too long.
In addition, you should let the water temperature drop to room temperature before feeding the dog to avoid scalding the dog's mouth. In general, it is best to let your dog eat dry dog food directly, which will ensure that the dog gets the best nutrition. If you have questions about your dog's nutritional needs, it is recommended that you consult a veterinarian or professional pet breeder.
