Is Marro good for your cat's teeth?

Updated this week

If you’re concerned about your cat’s teeth or unsure where to start, we totally get it.

How We Can Help at Marro

Our Fresh meals support good mouth health by:

  • Hydration boost – golden gravy helps saliva production, which naturally cleans teeth and supports gum health.

  • Gentle textures – soft meaty chunks are easy for sensitive teeth to manage, and can be mashed smoother if needed.

The Kibble Myth

Dry food is often thought to “clean teeth,” but:

  • It only scrapes some surfaces, missing gums and spaces between teeth (where problems usually start).

  • It has little moisture, which means less saliva production (saliva helps protect teeth).

  • Many long-life foods contain additives and preservatives that can stick to teeth.

So while kibble might crunch, it’s no replacement for proper dental care.


What Is Dental Disease?

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in cats. Left untreated, it can be painful and affect their eating. Marro cannot cure dental disease but can help with dental health overall.


Dental Disease Signs to Watch For

  • Pawing at the mouth

  • Drooling

  • Head shaking

  • Bad breath

  • Refusing favourite foods or treats


Beyond Diet: Other Ways to Help

  • Brushing – the best way to remove plaque and prevent gum disease. Use a cat-safe toothbrush and toothpaste.

  • Toys & chews – some encourage chewing that helps reduce plaque while keeping cats entertained.

  • Regular vet checks – essential for spotting and treating problems early.


The Bottom Line

A good diet, regular brushing, and the right toys can all support your cat’s dental health. But if your cat shows signs of dental pain or disease, always see your vet.


Here's to healthy fangs.
