They had it for 41 cents a can the other day at PetSmart. They honor competitor coupons as well so w/ a Petco 20% off, I stocked up.

But why would you WANT to follow that recommendation? If you know about what cats need everything should be screaming to stay away. Dental kibble is Not going to solve Matt's dental issues.I'm not fussing about what he isn't eating so much as wondering if his new-found tolerance for corn would allow me to follow vet reccommendations and put him on dental food....his appetite isn't suffering at all, he's only picky with higher-quality foods.I wondered about royal canin's dental kibble as his dry portion since he can tolerate corn...Then the vet can stop trying to put him on science diet(which I know he can't eat but they keep pushing)

It depends upon what the dental kibble is treated with
Dental kibble is crap.
Matt's teeth get worse with every month, and the vet swears dental kibble will help...could even avoid him having to go in for a cleaning......But why would you WANT to follow that recommendation?

It really does have to be done under anesthetic. . .they can't get up under the gum line unless the cat is out, and the polishing. . .forget it. There really is no substitute for a thorough dental cleaning.I don't think the cleaning necessarily needs to be done under anesthesia, does it? It just takes a long time and the cats don't stay still. Maybe if you had a tooth scaler, you could do it yourself a little at a time, if the vet shows you how.

They do non-anesthetic dentals for cats, and I do NOT recommend it. They're trained in how to settle cats, that is not the issue. Our recently rescued feral Chumley, who we still couldn't even pet with our hands, was a perfect patient. It's quick, and his teeth looked great after it was done.It really does have to be done under anesthetic. . .they can't get up under the gum line unless the cat is out, and the polishing. . .forget it.

I call coincidence.I believe dental kibble does have its place. I cannot prove this theory with a study any more then then people that are against it.
I know that my cats breath has gotten significantly worse and that was before AND after a dental. His teeth were never like that on kibble... you do the math.
I dont think its coincidence (jmo). Mia has only been on canned for 1 week and her breath is getting bad. Before on just kibble, I never noticed bad breath ( and I kiss her on the nose everymorning so I would have noticed). lolI call coincidence.
After so many years of good dental health, Bo finally developed dental issues. Some cats get lucky like that. But when you think about the fact that the majority of cats eat kibble, and thousands of cats need dentals each year.. How could the kibble possibly be helping?
In my experience, it's only those feeding frankenprey that see consistently cleaner teeth on their cats.
Yes, this ^I dont think its coincidence (jmo). Mia has only been on canned for 1 week and her breath is getting bad. Before on just kibble, I never noticed bad breath ( and I kiss her on the nose everymorning so I would have noticed). lol
Just to be accurate, cat eats mice, cat gets nutrition from the grain the mouse ate from its muscles, bones, and organs. The stomach content is a very small portion. From a study of feral cat diets around the world:Cat eats mice, cat gets corn, nature.
Because commercial cat food was adapted from commercial dog food - and it's cheaper.Why did they start putting grain in cat food in the first place?
Because the first cat foods were dry, and dry food needed a binder to keep it together, aka, grains, potatoes, etc. That's the reason you never see a dry food Without any kind of plant material; it has to have some to keep it together. And from spoiling.Why did they start putting grain in cat food in the first place? That is a question I ask myself every day.
She will not eat expensive food, tried IT ALL! She actually would prefer the "junk" to the expensive, fresh or "people" food.
