Brushing your cat's teeth may seem daunting, but it's crucial for their health. Most cats over four years old experience dental disease. Regular brushing helps prevent these issues and keeps your cat happy.
Begin by gently handling your cat's mouth during calm moments. Gradually introduce them to the sensation of having their teeth and gums touched. Patience is key!
Let your cat sample cat-specific toothpaste from your finger. These toothpastes come in flavors like chicken or fish, making the experience enjoyable. Remember, never use human toothpaste.
Choose a soft-bristled toothbrush designed for cats. Finger toothbrushes or angled brushes work best. Introduce the brush gradually, letting your cat get used to it.
