My 13 year old Maine Coon is going into have her teeth cleaned on June 4. She will not touch dry food. The vet said her teeth are pretty gunked up and her gums were red and puffy. My only concern is her making it through the procedure because of her age. I'm going to check with the vet before hand just to make sure she feels Lokie will be okay. Maybe then I can start giving her dry food. I hate feeding any of my cats canned food. It's messy, it smells and the cans are a pain in the patootie.
