Most people aren’t going to brush their cat’s teeth with a toothbrush unless they want to lose a hand or a pint of blood. However, you still need to keep your cat’s teeth clean and healthy. So instead of using a toothbrush, consider using dental treats instead.
Dental treats are like normal treats except they help scrape away tartar and plaque from a cat’s teeth. By snacking, your cat can be cleaning its teeth at the same time, which makes you wonder why snack companies don’t create something similar for humans too.
