Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008*Kitty Toofpaste*
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:) Hugs all around Kyla Kyla =^..^= wrote: > I highly reccommend getting some kitty/doggie toothpaste for your > furry animals, from your vet.

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >Hugs all around >Kyla 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. How you behave towards cats here below determines your status in Heaven. - Robert Heinlein >> I highly reccommend getting some kitty/doggie toothpaste for your >> furry animals, from your vet. > > Kenzie eats a dry food that claims to help keep teeth clean; perhaps > it actually does. TED approves of it, in any event. My little dog Sampson (RB 1999) ate dry kibble almost exclusively after he was a puppy. When he was somewhere around age 14 he had to have a couple of teeth pulled. The vet commented if I'd fed him nothing but wet food all his life his teeth would be in far worse shape. Persia eats dry food. I tried the canned x/d but she simply wasn't interested. She scarfs the dry stuff :) The vet has no problem with her eating the dry food.

Mosey only eats canned catfood and goes in next month for his check-up. He will NOT eat the hairball stuff TED gave us. It's tuna flavored. When I first gave it to him, I just put some on his paw to lick off, he threw a hissy fit, and peed on the sheet on my side of the bed :/ Now I'll try and give it to him via the syringe thingy the dr gave us. sigh..

Sorry, but Mosey pitching a fit just made me laugh. I'll ask the vet about toothpaste. It depends on what it contains; she's on a very strict diet. There aren't even any treats she's allowed to eat. Never had a problem with Persia having hairballs.

I'm reading the toofpaste label..it's poultery flavored, the brand I use is Virbac C.E.T active ingredients Glucose Oxidase, Lactoperoxidase HTH Kyla
