Hi, all, Since there's been quite a bit on the list lately about sugary foods and cavities, I thought I'd add my own question. I've recently seen in grocery stores and pet stores, treats for cats and dogs (chicken- flavored, liver-flavored, etc.), that are advertized to help reduce plaque buildup on the teeth. Presumably these are just tasty crunchy yummies that help clean the teeth, and maybe they have some cavity- preventing or tooth-strengthening ingredient (?) Would feeding one or two of these right after a raisin or banana snack help clean the sticky treat off their teeth and help prevent cavities? I wouldn't think there would be any harm in giving these cat treats to fuzzies on the same basis as raisins and bananas--i.e., only one or two little pieces a day. Just curious, Eric Murphy ('Nanners, daddy! We want 'nanners!) Boo-Boo (I smell raisins, daddy!) Sheba (What, it's time to get up already?) Cleo (Get out of my face, ferret!! >Slash<!)
