Mattie needs a dental cleaning. I don't know her exact age but she's a young cat. I am shocked that my vet thinks she needs one (well, not really...her teeth are bad and have always been that way since I adopted her). I think she is about 2 years old.
I have a mouth wash for her that I squirt on her teeth daily and then I brush them daily, but she has a lot of buildup. (Our other cat, Chloe, is starting to get gingivitis and she's only 1. I brush her teeth every day too and use the rinse. I'm hoping she won't need a dental cleaning as soon as Mattie).
So, I am not going to have it done for at least another 6 months ($$$, it's expensive), but I'm curious as to how old your cat was when your vet first thought it was necessary for them?
