Chloe is a little Piggy when she likes something! She eats a small amount but it's so sad b/c it takes her forever to chew with her little teeth. Thats another reason I want to switch to raw, specifically Chloe, She is 3 lbs and her teeth are tiny. Ollie has no problem with chewing, he is 21 lbs, he's my big baby bear.
I've done a lot of research on RAW the past few days and one the most interesting thing I learned was the chewing pattern and the teeth shape
Dogs Don’t Grind… They Chop
For comparison, think about a typical herbivore… a dairy cow. Now, picture the way they “chew their cud”.
Cows chew widely from side-to-side. And they have broad, flat back teeth… ideal for grinding grains and plant material into finer particles.
Even omnivores share this same combination of boxy back teeth and sideways grinding motion common to herbivores. Think of your own mouth and how you chew.
Dogs, on the other hand, don’t have flat teeth. Like most carnivores, they have
narrow pointy back teeth.
Plus dogs can’t chew from side-to-side. Their jaws can only move in an up-and-down,
chop-chop motion.
It’s the perfect combination for cutting meat into smaller chunks.
With that being said, and seeing her chomp, raw should be much easier, but should I have dental concerns b/c its so soft?
You guys are so helpful it's amazing
