If your adorable cat has bad breath (or halitosis) or tends to have too much buildup of plaque and tartar in its teeth and gum line, you must consider bringing it to a professional vet for a dental checkup or cleaning every year or every six months.
Aside from a regular dental checkup by your vet, you must keep your cat's teeth clean with regular tooth-brushing. Make sure to use a toothpaste and toothbrush that is recommended by your vet, or you can use gauze or cloth to wipe off your cat's teeth and gum line clean.
Another way to keep your cat's teeth clean is by giving some dental snacks or treats (just like dog chews), hard cat food, or dry cat food. The hard, abrasive texture of kibbles exert a grazing action on the cat’s teeth and gums, hence preventing excessive plaque buildup.
You can ask your veterinarian Murrieta, CA for dental chews or treats that are safe and effective for your pet. Read more here.
