I know cats that hardly have any teeth left but that give a chicken wing a good go but given that bits of bone get stuck and that he seems to swallow "large" chunks of bone I personally wouldn't give him any more. Shame that chunks of meat don't work either.

Okay, thanks!

 

Here is a question. Do you want him to eat raw food for raw food sake or to aid dental health? If you just want him to have some raw food, then instead of feeding him chunks of meat you could try and offer him thin slivers of meat instead - like shortish pieces of fettucini. Over time you could try to make the chunks bigger and shorter to see whether he will start chewing again with a little practice.

Are you brushing his teeth too?

The main reason for the wings was dental. I'm not ready to fully go down the raw route yet, but I'm leaning more and more to the idea of at least giving up to 20% raw meat via the supermarket. The long slivers sounds like a good idea - will definitely give that a go!

I don't brush their teeth as I got them as adult rescues and feel it would be difficult and stressful for them - they run a mile when I just open the cupboard with the Advocate in! I do give them PlaqueOff and they lick Logic Gel from my finger - though I know this is far from ideal.
