How many of you think that kibble is good for cleaning dog teeth? Have you heard the urban legend about it cleaning their teeth because it is hard? Ya, legend is about as truthful as it is; nothing could be further from the truth. The next time your dog has a meal of kibble dog food have a look back at the molars to see what is left.
Let me say first that if you have a quizzy stomach; don't look. There on their molars you will find a globulus heap of brown mush stuck until it dissolves away. Dogs don't use their tongue to get it off like we would. Mostly it just sits there and causes decay.
What does clean teeth is raw meat, tendons, raw bones, gristle etc. Gizzards are wonderful to clean teeth; just watch your dog chomp some of those suckers back and you'll see why. My girl Tilley actually uses her Nylabones to help in removing food which is stuck on her molars. When they ate kibble way back when she used her nylabones twice a day. Very ingenius if you ask me.
Dogs do use tools.
