It's a two pronged approach: First, fill the Dental Wand with your cat's favourite enzymatic cat toothpaste and some Lic-e-Lix. Introduce it to your cat and let them bite it. After two bites gently pull the Dental Wand out of their mouth. The bite will expel the cat toothpaste across all areas of your cat's mouth whilst the pulling away will allow the bristles to scrape the teeth and remove plaque. Second, later on during the day when your cat is receptive to play, attach the Dental Wand to the telescopic rod and play with your cat. Move the Dental Wand in such a way that mimics the movements of prey, let your cat believe that there is prey in the house and your cat will use their instinctual behaviours to hunt it. Once they catch it, they will bite it and scrape more bacteria from the teeth. Doing this daily will boost your feline bond and keep their teeth safe. Also, gradually reduce the amount of Lic-e-Lix you mix with the cat toothpaste.
