Difference between T/D vs Dental Care cat kibble?
What I've heard is that the special dental diets are larger pieces of kibble and they might be a little bit gummier.But in the end they're all the same since DRY FOOD DOESN'T CLEAN THE TEETH! Argh, I hope some day I can stop saying that. This myth just won't die and it really peeves me when so called professionals keep spreading it. I wish they'd get a clue.T/D sounds like Hills food and without even looking I can tell you that that is absolutely crappy food. Toss it.And of course the shelter is completely wrong. While it's true that canned food isn't going to keep the teeth any cleaner than dry food, it does NOT promote tartar. If you're feeding a good quality brand, it will help promote a healthier mouth environment.Unless you're feeding your kitty a proper diet of chunks of muscle meat and bone, you really should take extra steps to keep their teeth clean. Such as brushing, or feeding raw chicken necks, or using a supplement, or something.So the advice you received was most definitely wrong. Feed canned food – or even better a properly balanced raw meat diet. Source(s): The myth that dry food cleans teeth debunked: http://www.littlebigcat.com/index.php?ac… 4.
