Canned food is actually better than dry food because it is less processed and has more moisture. Kibble is just so overprocessed... The key though is feeding PREMIUM canned foods, and Ceasar is crap. Find a premium brand like Merrick, Nature's Variety, California Natural, Wellness, Innova, Canidae, and there are others. Purina One is also not a very good dry food to feed..the same brands I listed have good kibble as well.
It is not true that dry is better for their teeth. Would you expect to eat cookies and have clean teeth? No...it actually gets kindof gunky on your teeth right? That's because grains in foods stick to teeth and cause tarter buildup. By feeding a grain-free canned food, you'll actually cause less tarter buildup than if you feed a kibble with grains in it. You need to brush your dog's teeth regularly to keep their teeth clean.
I really think raw diets are the best way to go - the most healthy for sure. Homecooked diets are the next best thing. But if you want to stick with canned or kibble, pick a premium product.
