Thread: The runny loose stool & the quest for a solid poo fixed !

Hi Grace, here's some more advice on chews.

If you’re uneasy with feeding bone, or if Willow doesn’t take to chomping on wings right away, chicken gizzards (stomachs) are an excellent alternative. They are quite tough and most cats will commit murder for them. When mine are munching on them I can clearly hear their teeth ripping and tearing through the meat. It sounds very much like a person eating an apple!
My crew also go crazy for raw chicken necks. I always smash them with a hammer (the necks that is, lol) for easier eating.

Other chewing options are chunks of beef (not steak but the kind you use in a stew) and horse meat (but I understand the latter is something of a taboo subject in some cultures).

As other people already have said, by no means revert back to kibble or any other dry stuff even if it is marketed as dental-this or dental-that. They do not work (source: both my vets). In particular, stay away from the Hill’s t/d. It is cr*p (source: a quick glance at the ingredient label).

Good luck!
Anna
