Switching to raw - dog has missing teeth

Post by Wes »

So I've finally given up on finding a quality dog food that Remy my 4 year old Catahoula can eat (thankfully Sampson is just a walking garbage disposal) and have decided to just put both the boys on raw. It's something I've been researching for a while, but I did have one question. Remy is missing several teeth, most on the left side of his mouth. I don't know when or how he lost those teeth as they were missing when we adopted him a few months ago, but would this limit what he can eat as far as bones go? Any suggestions as to what might be best to try with him?

From everything I've read he should be fine, chicken bones are probably the softest and chicken is a good starter
meat too :D

This video is of a little 12yr old Maltese Terrier who has very few teeth yet can eat chicken wings and thighs!
