Roughly one third of all cats over four years old are experiencing some form of dental disease. Problem is our sweeties only start complaining when the issue becomes very serious and they're feeling intense pain. We must brush their little teeth. So please keep reading below for instructions. It must be built up to gradually if you don't want a regular fight.
Cats have the memory of elephants when it comes to unpleasant events.
First get them used to a gentle massage of the mouth and lip area. When you're feeling bold move onto sticking your finger in their mouth for a gentle rubbing. Then progress to cheese cloth wrapped around your finger or my personal preference a lovely finger fitting rubber toothbrush with a dab of chicken flavored toothpaste. Don't expect this to be a successful venture overnight. Like toenail clippings and serious coat brushings it could be months before tooth brushing becomes a non-stressful situation.
