Before brushing your cat´s teeth, especially if it´s your first time using a brush on your cat, you should dip the brush in tuna water or chicken broth, and let your cat lick the brush. This helps your cat adjust to the texture of the brush.
Things to Consider:
Healthy Gums – Seventy percent of cats show signs of gum disease by the time they´re three. You need to keep a close eye on the condition of your cat´s gums for signs of redness or inflammation.
The Right Toothpaste – You should only use toothpaste that´s is made for cats. "People" toothpaste can upset your cat´s stomach.
The Right Toothbrush – When purchasing a toothbrush for your cat, try to buy one designed for pets. The brushes are smaller, and the bristles are much softer.
