I have three cats, 2 fifteen month-olds and a 17 year-old. I fed the 17 year old dry food, most of her life. Just a year ago, I got two kittens from two different people. Trying to do the best for them, I read that wet food is the way to go, and that dry food does not help their teeth. Well, I fed them three meals a day wet, until the kittens were a year old...then I started giving them two, in the morning and a night. In addition, they have all the dry cat food that they want to eat out all the time.
One of my 15 month olds has periodontal disease.

In addition my 17 year old now seems to have some kind of infections in her mouth, which I posted about earlier:

Does anyone know for sure if wet cat food is best? My old cat had good teeth, until I started feeding them wet most of the time. Now, I know, she is old. But my 15 month old, Indy has periodontal disease! That is like a 20 year old kid getting periodontal disease. He has eaten canned food all his life, I got him at about 7 weeks old.
What do you think? I'll continue to feed them canned, especially since they have bad teeth, but could dry be better for them?
