Your picture of the dog spooning his dry food into his mouth made me laugh.
Now... is the advice the same with CATS? We're house sitting at the moment and the pet is a pussy cat. We've been supplied with dry pellets and tins of wet fish-based cat food. As it happens, the moggie likes the dry food better anyway. We hear her crunching her way through the dry food, often in preference to the wet stuff. But your post made me wonder.

I don't know about cats, Gary, but I can't imagine the fight that would ensue if someone tried to brush a cat's teeth. I don't have cats now, but did in the past, and their teeth never seemed to get plaque like the dog's teeth. And my cats ate very little dry food. They were persnickety and wanted boiled fish.
