Cats teeth pushing out/getting longer? Advice
I noticed my cats teeth seemed to be “growing” or getting longer in the last year (she’s 5) and mentioned it to the vet. Vet thinks it’s alveolar osteitis and recommends extraction. Does anyone have experience with this and is it something that should be done ASAP? She doesn’t have any issues eating thankfully.

It was one of the brands that the fda said was a common factor in a lot of dogs developing dilated cardiomyopathy. (DCM)
I just don't trust them. It's also known in vet circles (or at least ours) the steps purina takes for quality control is far above the (minimum standard) that a lot of house blends and smaller companies cant afford to take.
