I want to clean my cat's teeth but they fight it every time. Is there something i can give them that's safe that will keep them calm while i hold them down to clean their teeth?
I've been brushing all my cats' teeth for about 8 years now and have never had such a bad reaction that I needed to calm them ahead of time. None of my cats are crazy about me messing with their mouths, but it was just a matter of them getting used to it and becoming resigned to the fact that I would win this "battle."Originally Posted by BMW Kitty Cat

I use Oxyfresh Pet Gel instead of a brush now. I used to use the small cat toothbrushes, but have had better results with the gel which works on the gum inflammation and can be applied with just your finger. Maybe that's an option for you.Originally Posted by BMW Kitty Cat
Thanks! I have a problem specifically with one. The little fella has mild stomatitis so its harder since it may actually hurt his gums. I started slowly and it worked for a bit then he went mad. But i guess it will be an everyday task getting him use to it and making him realize i wont hurt him.
Thanks once again
Thanks will definitely try that!Originally Posted by clpeters23
