Teeth and biscuits query


Harold had to take his cat up to the vets last week for a dental, and at her check up today, the vet nurse told him to feed her smaller biscuits as they will help reduce the plaque build up. This seems incredibly bizarre to me, esp when most of the dental biscuits are larger than normal. Anyone heard of this?

Re: Teeth and biscuits query


If they have small biscuits , they will need to manoeuvre them around in their mouth before cruching (bigger chance to scrub he right bit) and there will be many small bits, whereas if they're big it will be fewer and a straight chomp? Pure guess-work, and not sure even believe in it myself.

Normal biscuits aren't all that big, but dental ones are - as they are supposed to make the cat chew, but I know someone who's cat eats those whole too!!
