What dry food is best for cats with sensitive teeth & wet food brands?

Question

My 6 year old cat has teeth issues, 17 were pulled when I first adopted him 4 years ago. He is on a wet food diet, except when I am out of town, because my automatic feeders only take dry. Is there a dry food that's best for sensitive teeth? Also, while I'm here, I've always just bought Friskies wet food but I'm wondering if there really is a difference between brands? Thanks!

Great question! Royal Canin has a dry food that is for cats with sensitive teeth, and I will put a link below for it. As for differences between brands, yes there are ones. Cheaper foods will not have as good quality ingredients as the most expensive brands of food, making the price lower. In addition, certain brands of food like Royal Canin and Hill's Science Diet have veterinary nutritionists on staff to ensure the food is formulated to meet the needs of the cat; not all cat food brands have this. Friskies is not one of the supermarket brands I recommend, I personally prefer Purina. Higher quality brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. Best of luck, I hope this all helps! https://www.chewy.com/royal-canin-oral-care-dry-cat-food/dp/29863
