Is it safe to give my cat raw chicken thighs every day for teeth?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I feed my cat Blue Buffalo dry food and Fancy Feast wet food. For the past couple of day's I've been feeding her chicken thighs because I heard it helps keep her teeth clean. If I keep feeding her chicken thighs daily will it harm her?

No, it will not harm her. if you feed her with the bones you must NOT cook the chicken, you need to give it raw. in general for teeth hygiene purposes you need to give the chicken raw regardless of the bones.
