(mum: Before getting Jaffa, I used to think that raw food keeps a dog's teeth clean because it had little to no carbohydrates. However, I have since learned that it all depends on the individual dog as you can see from the pictures. Sunshade was on a low quality kibble, full of fillers until she was about 2 years old. Her teeth during that time was still pearly white as far as I could remember. She has been on the raw diet since the age of 2, and her teeth have continued to be very clean. I have never had to clean her teeth.
Jaffa on the other hand was fed raw since he was 8 weeks old. He however is not fond of food items that are bigger than his mouth. This means that if I give him a whole chicken thigh/drumstick, he won't eat it unless I cut into bite size pieces. Sunshade would happily chomp down all her raw meaty bones without problem. Jaffa also has a very gentle way of gnawing on bones compared to Sunshade who chews with gusto.
In the end, I still believe the raw food content does keep teeth cleaner than other types of food. However, without proper bone feeding (and chewing/eating as in Jaffa's case), it alone is not enough to keep the teeth clean.)
