Is there an at home remedy I can mix up to brush my cat's teeth?

To remove toothplaque and all.I know their teeth should be professionally done and I know an enzyme toothpaste is sold for all toothy pets which helps breakup plaque,but is there another remedy I can do at home til I can get the other stuff?A book said use a salt solution(I guess like baking soda,or table salt),but what if the cat swallows it and gets ill?

Pull it's teeth out, you won't have to worry about it then!
Reply:Why can't you wait a few days to goget toothpaste from the pet store?
Reply:Regular toothpaste is fine, I think.
Reply:u dont need to brush its teeth give it sum thing to help
Reply:Regular toothpaste is not fine and can cause your pet to vomit. That is why they make specialty toothpaste for pets, right now just use a warm facecloth to get your pet used to the idea or your finger. It takes time with pets like kids to get them used to having their teeth brushed.
Reply:get some pet toothpaste from the store and a finger brush. make sure to feed your cat quality dry food. I recomend, natural choice complete cat care indoor.
Reply:Ask your vet these questions, especially before trying to use things that could possibly harm them.





I know that baking soda %26amp; water solution can be used for humans in the place of tums or rolaids, occasionally, and soda can be used by humans as a toothpaste, once or twice, if you run out, but, not for prolonged use because of it being harmful to the enamel...





So, with all that in mind, I know I wouldnt want to use that stuff in my pets mouth, knowing they swallow everything!





The thing is, toothpastes at the pet store cost only a few bucks, and its made especially for them, and in flavors that are pleasing to their palete, so just take the safe way and use what is made for them.
