They have some new American toys. One of them is a little xhew thing that has catnip stalks inside and the outside is a kind of nylon netting which is supposed to clean their teeth. I bought a pack today (2 for £1.99) but haven't tried them yet (They are all asleep :Luv2: )

I found the netting got stuck between my teeth :evillaugh:

Once and once only have I brushed a cats teeth ...... this was a friends cat, while I was looking after him while she was away.
Allegedly, Puss was used to it and would be no problem .... :shify:
Twasn't quite the case - I have to say he was certainly in need of dental attention because his breath could have stripped paint. :sick:
The good thing was that when she came back, Puss got his dental visit to the vet ;)
I think if I had kittens, Id try this from the onset, though, along with claw trimming and geting used to be manhandled ;)
-
I tried some dental chews very similar to those years ago, but Trigger wasn't interested - and I couldn't blame him as the consistency was like polystyrene and they smelt of seaweed
vets make a lot of money out of doing dentals, so the cynic in me suggests an at home treatment is a long way off
-
Mine havent shown any interest in these - well, they've shown interest in playing with them, but not in chewing them, so no dental benefit, but interesting toys LOL! :evillaugh: Reckon if it isnt food they're not gonna chew!

Cor JO Ripley would have your hand off if you tried that on him :rofl:

I bought some for a friend's kitten a while back are they the ones you can freeze or are they different? these can be used for teething.
-
These are the ones I got - I am amazed that for once something is cheaper in the UK :Crazy:
