Alot of people have asked me about the raw diet and if it good for teeth. The reason why it is better for a dogs or cats teeth than dry foods is because it does not have the carbs that dry foods have. Dry foods help clean the teeth some but the sugar from the carbs settle on the dogs teeth. Besides the raw diet for treats you can give then raw chiken necks and wings. I know this sounds gross but think of what they would eat in the wild. My boxer is very allergic and only raw foods and treats (you can even go to the butcher shop and get bones) keep his ears and skin under control. It is more expensive than other foods, but cheaper than going to the vet every time he had an ear or skin infection. |
