I'm not sure if this should be in health or nutrition..... It's more dental health than nutrition.

I've read about freeze dried meat treats for cats, that encourage chewing....

Does anyone know where I can buy these? or even what they are called? (I'm Canadian)

Do you know of any other treats that encourage a cat to chew???

Kizzy chews his one wet cat food (it looks like flaked tuna.... and some are longer strips so he actually chews them). Dry food he chews occassionally but not much. The treats I do have, he just inhales LOL.... no chewing.

When I cook chicken, I'll give him a few pieces of it (he won't eat raw) and he chews that....

but I'm really looking for treats that he will chew, that I could give a couple a day to help dental health and just make him chew.

Thx for any advice.

(he chews on some toys, does that help clean their teeth at all? Yes that is a serious question even tho I laughed writing it.... but seriously, he latches on to this puffball on a wand toy and we play tug of war).

CET , Greenies and Visabec( division of cet and likely spelled wrong) are all proven to clean teeth to a degree ... Cet also has rinses and pastes

What is CET? I googled but that didn't bring up any pet sites...

Greenies gave Bugsy very bad diarrhea, and for the looks on the answers on my thread about it, a lot of cats seem to have the same reaction.
I bought a large bag of CET chew, but Bugsy doesn't like it - actually, he doesn't know what to do with it. Don't buy it - I send it to you
