Mighty dog is absolutely a horrible dog food....
However... I disagree that puppies NEED puppy food. If you feed a high quality dog food (I feed Canidae) then you do not have to feed a puppy food. When I have litters, and start weaning puppies, I will use a quality puppy food, soaked in warm water to make it soft for the puppies... and usually add a little goats milk to the food.... by the time they are 3 months old they are typically on Canidae dog food.....
Also... I agree.. dry food doesn't help keep teeth clean. Some breeds are more prone to bad teeth than other breeds.... a lot of smaller breed dogs especially (doxies, min pins and toy and mini poodles and Poms are the ones I've seen most from working at vet clinics the last 9 yrs)...... however Collies are a breed that tend to get quick tarter build up on their teeth.... I typically scale my dogs teeth every 6 months to keep the tarter build up off.... or before I take them to a show.... and my dogs that will chew raw knuckle bones I will give them these every once in a while, though I do have some that are not big chewers, even if the other dogs are chewing on them... they won't touch them... kinda weird LOL
Also I think science diet T/D is a HUGE waste of money!!! Even the vet where I most recently worked thought it was a waste of money and didn't recommend it....
