I highly reccommend getting some kitty/doggie toothpaste for your furry
animals, from your vet.
The enzymes in the toothpaste will help your kitty/doggie's health and you
don't HAVE to 'brush' their teeth for it to work. Just put some on your
finger and let them lick it off. Ours is poultry flavored and I'm tellin
ya, Mosey would eat the whole tube, if I let him Dental hygeine is VERY
importand for our cats, as the lack of it can cause severe problems, like
kidney failure and such. My vet told me about the fact that just giving
them a 'dollop' each day will help if your pet doesn't like to have their
toofies brushed.
I put some on the end of my finger and offer it to Mosey and I brush his
teeth with my finger and say' brush brush brush" to him when I do that.
The other 3 just will accept the 'dollop' but won't let me 'brush' their
teeth.
We pay about $6 per tube but it might be a little more expensive where you
are.
Just something to think about:)

My TED is very, very good. (And very nice, too.)

She pointed out on my last annual visit that although Kenzie had a bit
of tartar and minor gingivitis, it just wan't enough to justify (her
words) doing a teeth cleaning. I would have agreed if she said it was
necessary, of course.

Strange that she's never mentioned kitty toothpaste; seems like a good
idea, even if it only helps a little. A little is better than nothing.

Kenzie eats a dry food that claims to help keep teeth clean; perhaps it
actually does. TED approves of it, in any event.

"Life without cats would be only marginally worth living."
-TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There
will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.
