We actually feed this kibble to both of our cats, but Juliet has worse dental health than her sister. From what we can tell so far, it has reduced gum redness and improved their breath. We didn’t get them used to a toothbrush and toothpaste when they were young enough, and they are smaller than the average cat so their mouths are smaller too. This means trying to brush your teeth, ends up stressing them out sometimes. Since Ava enjoys chewing the toothbrush, her teeth were healthier, but this has been a godsend for Juliet. They both love the taste and really enjoy crunching down on each piece. It seems decently filling for kibble as well.

We have fed dry TD only to all of our cats for the past 25 years. Have never had any problems with teeth and all the cats have lived 15 years or more. The pieces are a little large, but even as kittens, they refused their kitten food in favor of gnawing on a piece until they were big enough to get it into their mouth!

When I adopted my kitty from my veterinarian. He came with bad teeth. After 4 dental appointments with many removals. We switched his diet to Hill's Prescription which led to no more extractions and it has been more than 5 years and Oliver couldn't be happier. I love his Elvis snear which results from extraction of his upper right fang. Love him.

My boy was a rescue and initially his teeth seemed to be okay. Over time the usual things started to happen and I noticed inflammation on his gums when he yawned. Took him to the vet for a cleaning which was great and he was in good shape. But within a month I noticed a return of certain symptoms. So the vet recommended this product to help with the daily “cleaning.” Relatively expensive, yes. But it is prescription food and meant to perform a function. After a couple of weeks he was doing very well. And I’m pleased to say that after a year he’s doing extremely well. His gums are in perfect shape. Absolutely no inflammation, no swelling, no signs of anything but healthy tissue. Plaque? Not a spec in sight. I will say this much. He still doesn’t really care for the stuff. And to that end I get it. But I keep reminding him it’s either that or another experience at the vet and several days of dilated eyes and slack jaw for me to take pictures of and laugh at his predicament. Then he eats. That’s called “Compromising with a ginger 101.” Bottom line, I’m joining the very large sum of folks in favor of this product. And props to Chewy for shipping promptly and swiftly. I order it through my vet and it’s still stupid fast.

Most dry cat food is very small and with one or two crunches it is gone. This kibble is big for a cat but that's one of the great things about it! It really has helped Sonny keep a very clean set of teeth! He is 5 years old and has not needed a dental ever!

Well light, but not cost effective.

My cats very much like this food, they're big on chicken flavoring, but unfortunately it is not at a cost that is friendly for the average person. I only buy it because my one cat ended up with a gingivitis infection because of all the plaque on his teeth, so I was prescribed to give this to him so it would force him to chew his food. Unfortunately, I'm feeding two cats with the same food because there's no way to logistically feed them separately. They also don't offer a larger bag for a cheaper cost either. I gave it four stars because it has been effective in preventing gingivitis again for my fur baby, but realistically it is not a cost-effective type of food at around $65/8.5lbs (lasts 5 weeks feeding 2 cats, 6 if I'm lucky).

I screwed up my order and ordered the same thing twice. When I got the second confirmation from Chewy, I called the customer service number. Someone answered the phone immediately and deleted my duplicate order. It took less the 5 minutes. Unbelievable in today world where I would normally be on hold for 5 minutes.

It seems, almost always, a bit "chancy" what certain cats will go for. With two, male stays by my back door, I've learned either one of these stray/boys WILL go for the Hill's Prescription Diet bag, when my inside cats will NOT do the same, consistently! So, the Hill's bag is worth purchasing for many reasons, and I, for one, highly recommend it.

Excellent dental care kibble

My cat loves this kibble. I mix it in with another and he picks it out to eat. I'm very happy and amazed that his dental care is this easy.
