Title: Plaque Off - safe for diabetic cats?
Post by: JackSpratt on April 29, 2008, 18:55:45 PM

Does anyone know? I'm wanting to start using this (for the four cats in the house that still have teeth!) but am not sure if it'll affect LJ.

I would assume it's ok - after all it's only a mix of seaweed. Maybe you could email or phone them to double check.

Yeah id phone them too, or ask the vet. Seaweed is high in iodine so can effect some things so definately worth double checking

Does anyone have any? Looking for contact info for the company that manufactures and can't see any. If not, the ingredients list would be useful so I can talk to the vet. :)

Thanks Den, will email now.

Response received - the product manager says it should be safe for diabetic cats. Thought I'd post the info for future reference.
