i'm happy to continue soaking for a while, its part of my routine , i just wondered if there is a right or wrong time to do it!
i will be starting to reduce her meals from 4 to 3 a day soon so i definatly feel i need to keep soaking while were doing that and she adjusts!
should i wait until she is on 2 meals a day?

Think its definitly up to you and Banjo. Star is 23 weeks and has not had her food soaked since she came home at 7 and a half weeks as she prefers it dry. Maybe try adding slightly less water and see how you go?

Wicca is 5 months and I still soak her food simply because she eats so quickly she doesn't chew it, just swallows. With all the dry food hitting her stomach unchewed she gets sick. This is her last bag of puppy food so when she gets the new stuff the pieces will be slightly larger. If she chews it then I will stop soaking, if not I'll carry on soaking.
