Look at my cat chewing on the pork chop above. THAT is what cleans my cat's teeth. Some dry stuff that breaks up into particles which will probably get stuck between the cat's teeth at least sometimes isn't going to do the trick.

Think of yourself: Which is more likely to clean your own teeth? A dry cracker? Or something moist and chewy, such as, well, a piece of raw meat? Or maybe a peach or mango or tomato?

Think of wild cats: They don't eat any kibble but their teeth do just fine. Meat is what nature intended cats to eat.

Grrrrr .... Here kitty kitty ...
