Home Dental Care for Cats

Dental (periodontal) Disease is preventable in cats with proper home dental care, but once started the degenerative changes cannot be reversed. Here are some suggestions:

1. Provide hard food for your pet to chew.
2. Provide a balanced diet for your cat.
3. Have your pet’s teeth examined regularly. (Call us for a dental assessment if your cat has any of the 5 Warning Signs of Dental Problems)
4. Use dental products to prevent dental disease. You can get these items at pet stores or call us, 440-234-5831, and we can order them for your pet.

• Good – Use dental chews (we like the ones from C.E.T.) Remember to reduce the amount of food as some dental chews are high in calories
• Better – Use a dental rinse or water additive
• Best – Brush your dog’s teeth 3-5 times per week using pet toothpaste (people toothpaste is bad for pets)
