Keeping On Top Of Dental Care For Cats
In the UK, 1 in 8 cats are likely to suffer from gum disease. This common condition can be painful and promote issues such as cat tooth loss or bleeding gums. It is important to care for your cat’s teeth and gums regularly to avoid long-term infections and diseases.
Getting your cat’s teeth checked at the vet is a good first step, but you also need to take care of their dental needs when your feline’s at home. Because of this, we stock a wide variety of cat dental care products that are designed to promote good hygiene and remove excess plaque, so your cat can live happily and healthily.
Why Is Cat’s Dental Care Important?
Bad dental hygiene can not only cause bad breath in your cat, but it can develop various issues. It can become painful for your cat to eat their food if their teeth develop cavities. Cats can even develop mouth ulcers if their dental care is neglected, and sadly cat tooth loss can also happen in some cases because of this.
Taking care you’re your cat’s teeth also means that you can keep track of any changes in their mouth. From broken teeth to growths, or even issues with their palettes, improving your cats' dental care can do a lot to help their overall health.

Types of Cat Teeth Cleaning Products
Now we know that taking care of our cat’s teeth is important, the question comes of how we do this. There are many options, which is why we stock a good selection of cat dental care products, perfect for any feline.
Toothpastes
We all know how important it is to brush our teeth every day, but when it comes to our cats' dental care we may not include this in our minds. While they do not often need daily cleaning, cat’s teeth do benefit from being brushed once a week. To make it easy, we stock the Virbac toothpaste kit that includes a cat toothbrush and toothpaste, alongside other options.
Oral Gels and Pastes
For some cats, oral pastes and gels are a better option for their dental care. Often applied once a week, these stay in their mouths to help combat bacteria and plaque, and can either be applied alongside brushing or on their own. One brand in this line is Dentisept, but there are others available too.
Water Additives
Every cat is an individual, and some may simply hate the idea of anyone touching their mouths. Either that or they may need a little extra help keeping their teeth clean. That’s why water additives like Vet Aquadent Fresh are another great option, and make a good passive way to help a bit more with your cat’s dental hygiene.
