I have a 5 year old cat (Duffy) who has not had his teeth cleaned yet. I plan to this year but I wanted to ask if there are any tips to keep his breath down and oral health up.
I feed him 75% Wet (grain free wellness and Weruva) and 25% kibble (grain free orijen). He loves the fishy food specially the Mack n jack by Weruva which stinks as is. The only reason I give him any kibble is for him to snack throughout the day (he's not over weight) and to help cut down of the cost of the expensive canned. As from my research kibble is a no go.
I did try raw, did all the tricks on here but ended up giving up as he was not going for it at all. It was looking good at first but then he just refused. And there is no way he would eat any fleshy bones etc.
I'm wondering if other cat owners feeding similar diets cats breath smells as well? If I put my nose up to his mouth or when he yawns it's pretty bad. Overall his health is great. No vomiting or anything like that. He is past due his yearly checkup so I'll ask my vet to look next week when I bring him in.
I have tried brushing his teeth with no luck it's pretty impossible to get a good scrub with him. I've heard greenies are terrible so I stopped giving those to him 2 years ago. Are there any alternatives? Or cat good with big sized kibble he will actually crunch?
Thanks in advance.
