Cruchy food does not clean teeth. That's a lie. A canned food like Innova Evo or By Nature organics would be as close to 100% meat as a commercial diet allows.
Very true. Vets always told me to feed my dogs hard kibble instead of soft because it helps their teeth. The exact opposite is true. Also, having added water to their food helps with digestion. Think, wolves in the wild eat meat full of liquids, not bone dry food like kibble is. Just add a bit of water to the kibble and let it soak. I think that's helped Molli's teeth quite a bit, considering she has dental problems.
