Dental Care for Cats
Posted under: Cat Health Friday Jun 20, 2008
There are several ways to care for your cat’s teeth at home.
- Regularly brush your cat’s teeth. This will need to be done with a special ‘cat’ toothbrush & toothpaste. Never use human toothpaste on animals.
- Purchase special diets for your cat, which are designed to reduce plaque & tartar formation.
- Feed your cat raw chicken necks or bones, however this is a somewhat controversial topic. Here in Australia, it is quite commonly recommended as a way to reduce plaque & tartar formation, though there are risks associated with feeding raw bones to cats. Speak to your veterinarian for a professional opinion on feeding raw chicken necks & or bones.
- Make sure your cat sees a veterinarian once a year for a check up to stay on top of any possible dental problems.
Here at Cat Utopia we recommend Royal Canin Oral cat food, to help keep your cat’s teeth healthy!
