Brushing a Cats Teeth

The reason we brush our teeth is that that is the best way to keep our teeth clean and healthy.

Chews and hard kibble seem like an easier option forecast but brushing is by far and away the most effective way to look after your cats teeth prevent tartar build up and dental disease.

The tools required to brush a cats teeth are similar to those we ue ourselves. I would never use a human toothpaste for a cat. At

 best they will not like the taste, at worst it could be poisonous to them.

you will need to get some Animal toothpaste

A paediatric tooth brush is soft and safe for a cats  mouth or a finger brush designed for babies are lovely and soft and perfect for brushing cats teeth. Cat specific products are also available including this complete kit from Virbac. Cat specific finger toothbrushes are also avaailable.


Axillary products like PlaqueOff Cat Feline Formulation for Bad Breath can be useful but will never replace the brush and tooth paste.
