Care to maintain the dental health of cats
Regular brushing of the teeth.
It is essential to maintain the cat’s dental health, a task for which there are toothpastes and brushes for cats. Human toothpaste should not be used, as it has ingredients that are harmful to cats.
It is necessary to make routines to accustom the cat to this work of tooth brushing. The first step is to touch the animal’s teeth and gums with your fingers to get it used to the sensation. Then add some feline toothpaste to your finger and allow the cat to lick it off to get a taste of it.
Next step, start brushing your teeth with soft, circular movements. Try to reach all parts of the mouth, including the back teeth.
