Tips on brushing cats teeth? what products do you like?

i feed my cats a holistic raw food diet based on human grade meat. i feed them raw meaty bones to clean their teeth (which does work great) but i feel that i may want to brush as well. does anyone know of any holistic cat tooth paste? what type of brush do you recommend?

I don't use any tooth paste because it just makes a mess and then the cat gets upset and won't clean herself. Buy a really small toothbrush at the pet store and just hold the cat in your lap and push it into his/her mouth. If you think the bones are doing a pretty good job, I'd stick to that because it's hard to start an adult cat on a tooth brushing regime. Ask your vet if the teeth look alright or if brushing would be a big help.

Don't tell me; you're American, aren't you?!?





Oh and if you're feeding bones to your cat (or dog) just be very careful that the bones don't splinter.

Reply:There are many toothpastes available for cats, but don't know if they are holistic. Just never use human toothpaste - cats will swallow it and it is not good for them. They sell many different brushes, sometimes it is a matter of what your cat prefers. I have heard that the best method is to use those slip on finger covers. Then you apply the paste to it and gently use your finger, then dispose of it.
