Dental Care for Your Cats ? Vet's Corner!

By ajaxunion, on May 15th, 2012

Cats, and dogs, often suffer from the same diseases that humans do. Nearly 85% of adult pets have periodontal disease. If left untreated, the bacteria can actually spread through the pet?s bloodstream and infect major organs. But other dental issues can occur too, such as gum disease and tooth decay ?resulting in a loss of teeth. Obviously your veterinarian will check your cat?s teeth during examinations, but you should be keeping an eye on his mouth at home too.

There are plenty of dental care products to keep your kitty?s mouth happy and healthy. Try to brush your cat?s teeth at least two time a week. There are special toothbrushes available, as well as ones that slip over your index finger. Start by doing just a few teeth at a time if your cat is uncomfortable. Many chewable treats and other products are on the market that have an abrasive texture to help remove food debris and plaque from the teeth. It?s best to start these practice when your cat is still a kitten instead of waiting until you notice a problem

Look for cat dental products at Rescue Pet Supply. And when you?re in need of carriers, healthcare products, and other great supplies, shop trusted brands like? Pet Gear, Nutramax, and much more at our store.
