Hi all you lovelies,
So Waffles is 5-6 months now and his teeth are growing in, and this was the time our vet suggested we start to introduce brushing his teeth. I've watched some videos and read about how important dental health is for cats. However, I am reluctant (scared) to try. He's very squirmy and I'm just scared of the commitment of trying to force my fingers or a cat tooth brush into his mouth every day for the next 15-20 years. However if I want to make that commitment, I need to start now when he's still a kitten.
For those that don't brush your cat's teeth, what other alternatives have you found to be really good? Do you use dental treats such as Greenies or do you take them to get a professional dental cleaning done?
Thanks!!!
