what about their teeth? I'm assuming that wild cats' teeth are
cleaned when they chew on bones, right? And at least some dry food
could help with that?


Regular dry food provides very little dental benefit in cats since they
don't actually chew in the sense of true mastication. For a dry food to
provide a significant dental benefit the nuggets must be large enough for
the cat to sink her teeth into but not brittle so they don't shatter.
There are only two feline dental diets that actually provide some dental
benefit -
