unfortunately, canned food is not a cure all. It is really bad for their teeth.
That's why my cats are ALSO getting the Nutro for their daily tooth cleaning (in theory)

I'm not sure what to believe these days - but I've now heard that the idea that dry food has teeth cleaning properties is a myth.... but I do continue to give mine a bit of kibble - each can is only about 2/3 of the amount of food they should get in a day and I'd go nuts trying to figure out how to split the cans....

After 6 years on Nutro (before i switched to a combination with raw meat) I took my 11 year old cat to the vet for a tooth cleaning. My vet looked long and hard at her mouth and said "if she was my cat, i wouldn't clean her teeth!" so i didn't. I have noticed a marked improvement in dental health of all of my cats (note to self, check teeth tonight) - i have to blame it on what they're eating. THey get nutro, friskies dental diet (Treats only) and the chicken..
