For cats, raw bones would work as well but cats tend to be finicky if it's not something they're used to. Brushing their teeth doesn't really work if the tartar is already there, it's really supposed to be a prevention thing. If it's really bad you probably will have to get them cleaned.
Yeah I try getting a knucklebone every time we go to the supermarket but it depends which one we go to. One store has them, one doesn't. But the store that does has them REALLY cheap. They are called "stew bones" or something though, and are less than two bucks!
