I plan on picking up a few cans of Fromm can food this Friday.
What can foods do you use?

There's a lot of evidence to suggest kibble is much better for the teeth than canned food. Just the stickiness of canned food is one reason it’s bad for the teeth. The chewing action is good for dog’s teeth and gums.
By the way, tooth decay isn’t the primary reason dogs lose their teeth. Dogs seldom get cavities unless they have a double row of teeth. Periodontal disease is the reason, but I agree with the others who say tooth brushing is important to help prevent periodontal disease.
