Ugh... darn you.. talking about bacon.. you have no idea in the world how much I miss bacon from SA! Here in the US the bacon is basically all FAT with a pencil-thin line of actual meat, because they use entirely different cuts than in SA (which is apparently referred to as a "European cut"). I haven't had good or even decent bacon in 3 years!
I have to agree with Sherry, your menu actually isn't all that bad looking. So I am glad you clarified some more on it.
So the thing about teeth cleaning, grinds/minces (even the ones that are more coarse) don't do much for cleaning teeth, but what IS cleaning teeth in your diet though will be those pieces of actual bone-in meals such as the chicken necks or your whole prey meals. Crunching up those bones allows them to scrape the teeth clean. So as long as there's a few of those in your menu, it should help their teeth just fine.
And you are right about the kibble, just stay away from it, it's so much safer and healthier to just do the raw.
Is the mince you feed a balanced mince? I remember seeing you say "carcas" mince, is it whole ground animal, or perhaps animal parts with some heart and organs? So here for our grinds, unless it is a whole animal grind which immediately makes it balanced, we try to keep to these ratios with it: 65-70% Muscle, 10-15% Bone, 10% Heart, 10% Organs (AT LEAST half of that needs to be liver).
Hehehe!!!! 😂😂😂 oH I how I can imagine how deprived for bacon you must be....
Personally I wouldn't last long without bacon, like 3 min long....
Yes carcasses into the mincer whole, if they don't have stock I use whole chicken or other poultry heads and then get other cuts through the butcher.
I'm beginning to realise my one fella is getting old now and I hate the thought of him not being here 😯 he's my cuddle buddy... loves snuggling on the couch watching TV with me...
