Unfortunately dry food does nothing for the teeth, in fact it can contribute to dental problems. For a start some cats don't crunch - they just swallow it whole, therefore no effect whatsoever on the teeth! Even if they crunch it doesnt help clean teeth the biscuit shatters on contact and just leaves a whole load of debris around the teeth and gums. |
Oh right, I didn't know that. You read so often that dry food is good for their teeth that you just end up believing it (though after reading your post it did occur to me that all my cats have ended up fairly toothless in old age, so dry food didn't do them all that much good). I'll start using chicken wings, myself (always been a bit nervous of giving them anything with bones in, which is daft really when they are quite capable of killing birds and mice and eating practically every last bit).
