Hi Betsy
Not really sure what they are to be honest? :shy:
The only dental things I really give my boy are dental biscuits (although the jury is still out as to whether or not they make any difference at all :evillaugh:), and a powder called Plaque Off which is sprinkled into his wet food. Its a sea kelp powder which stops plaque forming on their teeth, and so far I have noticed a difference since using it. I bought mine on ebay if you're interested in getting any for your little one.
Max is my first cat, I remember all the questions I had in the first few weeks ........... 7 years on its still a learning curve :rofl:
-
Max gets the Bob Martin Vita Chews they are for hairballs , dental care and healthy skin and coat got them from the supermarket and tha same ones as Leo for treats
Trial and error with these things I think, somedays Max will eat them some days wont even look at them :rofl:
-
Jaffa gets raw chicken wings for his teeth ;D
Mosi is still learning how to eat them but I give him logic gel and plaque off.
-
Oh I forgot about raw chicken wings, must try and get them, everytime I go for them there is never any left, so eventually got out of the way of asking for them :Luv2:
-
whenever I look for them they are covered in honey soy sauce - irritating...
-
Tell me more about the chicken wings ?? I always thought you couldnt give cats chicken cos of the bones ?

Raw bones are ok and as they chew on them it's good for their teeth. Admittedly not all cats will eat chicken wings but it's worth a go to see if Leo will. Cooked bones should never be given to a cat as they are brittle and splinter.

Ahh.. I will seek some out.. I think it could get very messy with Leo :Party 3: Cheers
-
mmm raw chicken wings - Mellika plays with it for ages and then has a little nibble, Raffiki turns from my loveable boy into a total monster - growls like a real leopard hisses and spits until its all gone and then turns back into Mummies little Angel

-
Leo goes mental when im feeding the snakes.. trying to get the mice... !

I buy the mice and day old chicks frozen from a reptile shop and then just defrost them as and when I need them. Need to sort out a bulk buying deal with the local shop with the amount I'll be getting through in a few weeks lol!
-
