From what I've researched AND my own personal experience when I fed Missy RAW
"dog's fed a raw diet have much cleaner teeth. The processed or cooked foods eaten by dogs today are high in two substances; soluble carbohydrates and soluble calcium. These two nutrients attack a dog's mouth at every meal. In addition, processed foods do not contain the naturally occurring enzymes found in
raw foods so necessary for clean teeth"
I really miss feeding RAW just for this reason alone. Missy's teeth were sparkling clean and her breath was so fresh! My vet made me quit feeding RAW, but that was my old vet. I think that I will talk to my new vet about it because Missy's teeth (at 1.5 yrs of age) are not looking good despite me being diligent about brushing them. I homecook now, but I'm all for RAW. I think it's awesome. Missy use to eat the Organic Chicken by NV. She would not eat it if it was the slightest bit cold, so I would thaw it and put it in the microwave for 5-7 seconds, just to take the chill off, not to warm it or cook it at all because there is bone in it and I didn't want to destroy the nutrients. But after a 5 second nuke, she would gobble it up. Good Luck with whatever food you decide to go with.
