Your Cat's Dental Health

Your Cat's Dental Health

February is the time to think about your cat's dental health as part of National Pet Dental Health Month. How much thought have you actually given to your cat's dental health, other than avoiding having his teeth sunken into your arms during play? Uh huh, that's why there's a whole month devoted to pet dental health awareness.

Your cat's dental health begins with clean teeth. That's because any build up of plaque at the gum line is an invitation for harmful bacteria to colonize in your cat's mouth. Once these bacteria work there way under the gums, you can't clean them out, and your cat's dental health begins it's decline.

While it may seem a bit like sticking your head into a lion's mouth, you should brush the teeth to ensure your cat's dental health. You can use a soft human toothbrush and work it in a circular motion against your cat's gum line, breaking up the plaque for removal. Just use water at first, and graduate to a feline toothpaste. You notice an immediate difference in your cat's dental health.

The Paws Shop offers a few items to help keep up your cat's dental health in between brushings. Greenies Dental Treats for Cats are wholesome snacks designed to keep your cat's breath fresh by scraping away tartar and plaque as your pet chews. Our Pit'r Pat Breath Freshening Treats also health remove tartar to enhance your cat's dental health.

If you want your pet to live a long and healthy life, there is no substitute for paying attention to your cat's dental health.
