One of my cats just had her second dental cleaning and this time, a tooth removed.

I had been feeding her Blue Buffalo Blue Wilderness Adult Salmon Recipe Dry Cat Food for most of her life. The vet thinks that because the kibble is so small, it's been sticking to her teeth hence the tarter built up. I switched to the bigger kibble of Hill's Science Diet Adult Oral Care Dry Cat Food, but then read the third ingredient is corn gluten meal.

The kibble is about a 1/4, grazing supplement outside of her primary wet (grain free) food.

Does anyone have a recommendation for healthier cat kibble that helps keep their teeth clean?

Thanks. I've used Greenies since her last cleaning two years ago, but it apparently doesn't help with the kibble in the mix.

My only concern with going wet-only is 5-7 times a year we'll go on a weekend or longer trip. I leave out feeders of kibble for them for that period (with the occasional check-in from my mother to feed them wet).

I've had a fear that if they weren't "used" to eating dry, they'd not eat it on those rare occasions of using the feeders, but maybe that fear isn't well founded; surely they'd figure it out and not starve themselves?
