An alternative option would be to use an enzymatic toothpaste for pets if you are uncomfortable feeding raw. |
Yes raw meats have enzymes intact (bc they are heat sensitive) but it's the crunching of bones & ripping, tearing of the flesh that cleans their teeth. If you feed grinds where everything including bones are ground up, it doesn't clean the teeth. You still need to be proactive & brush their teeth daily. Giving raw meaty bones helps tremendously.
