At that time Buffalo Ridge recommended a dental specialist in Maitland. That specialist, Dr. Brown, actually was brought in from her office in Boca Raton and that is where I took the cats to have the extractions performed. She was far less expensive than the quote the Maitland office gave.
Don't kid yourself . . . they can eat crunchy food as easily as soft food once their mouth has healed. Let them eat whatever they prefer. In addition, there are a lot of negatives regarding dogs and cats only eating grain-free food.

Do your cats eat meat and fish? Ours can read the price of the can of Tuna. They have also each day five different kinds of dry foods and will eat that too. They could NOT be less interested in any thing we eat ...except occasionally chicken...but only until we get out of the chair and put it in their bowl.
