To clean her teeth
We recently spent seven hundred pounds at the vet as our cat had dental treatment with a couple of extractions, and our vet recommended this kibble to encourage our cat to crunch it up and clean her teeth. A good idea in theory but our greedy moggy swallowed them down whole anyway and they reappeared in the litter tray with a bit of blood. So we have gone back to mainly wet food and a bit of smaller sized kibble.
Kibbles Should Be Bigger For Large Cats
I have given the Hill's T/D kibbles to my Maine Coon cats when two of them had to have 2 teeth removed each. The teeth of two smaller Maine Coon cats were sparkling clean until they died but the large 9kg Maine Coon boy has bad plague on two teeth at the back of his jaw. Hill's has reduced a while ago the size of the kibbles. Now my cat swallows some kibbles whole. I wish they wouldn't have reduced the size of the kibbles. All other teeth are fine but his coat is not the shiniest.

Appear to do the job, even to a sceptic
Being sceptical of this type of product our vet gave a small sample pack to try. Cats enjoyed them and could see that they were actually crunching up the biscuits as designed and not just eating whole . Follow-up dental checks seem to show these are having a positive effect. Expensive and the cats do seem to go off them when the pack has been open and used for a while, so best when fresh and kept air-tight. For best effect serve these separately AFTER the cats have eaten their main meal.

Cat won't eat any other biscuit now
I have fed my cat dry food for most of her life to try and keep her teeth in good shape as wet food used to make them bad. However after several years of biscuits she did need a clean and the vet recommended this diet. She loves it and her teeth look great despite being 13. After she had been on this diet for a while I tried switching her back to her old food and she wouldn't touch it (she used to love it) so now she only has t/d.
