Four Paws Petdental Toothpaste For Cats

December 7, 2010 1:04 pm | By Zootoo Editor Flinn D.

If your cat is one of those rare, elusive felines who tolerates brushing, Four Paws Petdental Toothpaste is an ideal product for helping to control plaque - and the bad breath that comes with it.

Even having tried brushing our tester cat's teeth before (with mixed results), I was able to get a better handle - so to speak - on the cleaning routine with this product, which has a mild smell and seemingly inoffensive taste.

If your cat responds to the taste of this toothpaste, but not the long, slim Four Paws toothbrush, you might also try mixing and matching to get the product on your kitty's actual teeth. For instance, using this toothpaste with an alternate toothbrush, such as Bamboo Care's brush, or a finger toothbrush, such as the kind that Four Paws offers for dogs.

Before embarking on a hygiene routine with your cat, consult your vet to get tips on making the process more painless - and to make sure that you're brushing teeth correctly.

Pros: Does not require rinsing; mild taste for cats.

Cons: Cats may be skittish about brushing.
