Keep Your Cat's Smile Healthy with Cat Dental Treats
At Vets Love Pets, we really love pets and understand that dental health is a crucial part of your cat's overall wellbeing. Cat dental treats are specially formulated to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup while satisfying your feline's cravings. Our veterinary-approved options like Greenies Feline Dental Treats in flavours such as Oven Roasted Chicken, Catnip, Savoury Salmon, and Tempting Tuna are designed to clean teeth as your cat chews. These tasty cat dental treats make daily dental care something your cat will actually look forward to, helping to prevent serious dental issues before they start.
Why Cat Dental Chews Are Essential for Feline Health
Just like humans, cats need regular dental care to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Cat dental chews work by mechanically cleaning your cat's teeth as they bite and chew. Products like Greenies Feline Dental Treats in their convenient 277g tubs provide an excellent way to supplement your cat's dental routine. Most felines develop some form of dental disease by the age of three, which can lead to pain, difficulty eating, and even systemic health issues. By incorporating dental cat treats into your cat's regular routine, you're taking a proactive approach to their long-term health while giving them something they'll enjoy.
The Complete Approach to Feline Dental Care
Regular use of dental care products create a foundation for excellent oral health. Many veterinarians recommend combining approaches for maximum effectiveness. Our range includes everything from entry-level solutions for beginners to comprehensive products for dedicated pet parents. Dental health doesn't just affect your cat's mouth—it impacts their overall wellbeing and quality of life. For cats who also struggle with other health issues, our cat health supplements can help maintain overall wellness alongside dental health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cat dental treats like Greenies work through a combination of mechanical cleaning and special ingredients. The texture of these treats is designed to scrape against your cat's teeth as they bite and chew, helping to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Many dental treats also contain ingredients that help reduce bacteria or freshen breath. For maximum effectiveness, provide dental treats daily as part of a complete dental care routine that includes other products like dental gels and regular veterinary check-ups. Remember that treats should make up no more than 10% of your cat's daily caloric intake.
It's best to start dental care as early as possible in your cat's life. Kittens typically have all their adult teeth by six months of age, making this an ideal time to establish a dental care routine. Begin by gently introducing your kitten to tooth brushing with a soft finger brush and cat-specific toothpaste like Dentipet. Gradually work up to daily brushing sessions. Early introduction to dental care makes it easier for cats to accept these practices as they mature. For comprehensive kitten care, explore our kitten supplies which include many items to support your young cat's health.
Absolutely! Dental problems can significantly impact your cat's overall health and quality of life. Poor dental hygiene can lead to periodontal disease, which may allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream and potentially affect organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. Signs that dental issues might be affecting your cat's overall health include weight loss, decreased appetite, bad breath, lethargy, or changes in grooming habits. Regular dental care, including the use of products like Maxi/Guard Oral Cleansing Gel and Troy PlaqueOff, along with veterinary check-ups, can help prevent these serious complications.
Replace toothbrushes or finger brushes every three months or sooner if the bristles become frayed or discoloured. Toothpaste tubes like Petosan or Dentipet should typically be replaced every six months, even if not empty, to ensure the active ingredients remain effective. Water additives like Aquadent FR3SH should be used according to package directions, typically refreshing the solution daily. Dental gels and sprays generally last 1-2 months with regular use. Always check the expiration dates on all dental products and store them according to package instructions. For older cats, our senior cat products include options specifically designed for aging felines.
Many cats resist tooth brushing initially, but don't worry—there are multiple approaches to dental care. Start with dental water additives like Aquadent FR3SH, which can be simply added to your cat's drinking water. Dental gels such as Maxi/Guard Oral Cleansing Gel can be applied without brushing, or try Maxi/Guard Oral Wipes for a quick clean. Dental treats like Greenies Feline or specialized dental foods from Hill's Prescription Diet or Royal Canin can provide passive cleaning. Gradually introduce tooth brushing by letting your cat taste the toothpaste first, then slowly progress to a finger brush. Patience and positive reinforcement are key. For a complete approach to your cat's wellbeing, consider our range of cat health products to support overall health.
