Re: Dry food and vets advice?

Hi Tabby,

Firstly black and white you are right and your vet is wrong. The statement that "dry is best - for teeth and overall" is inaccurate. Dry food does not clean teeth as completely as everyone is made to believe through constant marketing. If this was the case why would vets be seeing an increase in dental problems and the manufacturers starting to sell special dental food and dental products.

Your approach suggests someone who has researched what is best for their cats health and understands their needs. I applaude you for that. Stick to your guns.

Just remember that whist freeze dried treats are better than carb based ones, because of the smell being so concentrated cats normally go wild for them. You have to remember whilst each priece seems small they are infact the equivalent of feeding them something 60 - 70% larger.
