This is a common and valid concern. The great news is that pet cats and dogs do absolutely fine without teeth, even if they have to have them all removed!

Pets need their teeth for hunting and chewing through carcasses, so as long as you continue to feed your pet so they don’t have to hunt, they will do well. In fact, many pets with no teeth at all will still eat biscuits, and some will even continue to hunt if allowed.

We only removes teeth where it is the best option for your pet – this means that, in fact, most eat far better without the pain and infection, despite having fewer teeth.
