    Tartar control treats do not do the job 100%. It’s great to use them in addition to brushing, but not as the sole means to clean your cats teeth. If you don’t believe me, have fun with the $500+ dental bills in the future. The going rate right now for extractions is about $98 per 10 minutes and that doesn’t include descaling.

    That lady made it look so easy…I wonder if she would do my 15-lbs cat. I have to wear latex gloves so I don’t get scratched. My cat is very strong and he will fight me.

    I would LOVE to brush my cat’s teeth but if I tried, he’d claw me to ribbons. I wish my cat was as laid back as the one in the vid.

    If you had looked closer, you’d see she’s supporting both his shoulders (with her thumbs) and elbows (with her fingers) as she lifts him. That’s an acceptable way to move a cat a short distance and won’t hurt him. If she’d just grabbed his forearms she could have hurt him. But that’s not what she did.
    And clearly, since the cat remained relaxed and didn’t struggle, he was in no discomfort.

    Have you watched your cat eat tartar control treats? How many times does he crunch each one? How many crunches would it take to actually sweep each surface of his teeth to get them clean?
    Most cats may crunch it once or twice, then they swallow the chunks whole.
    That isn’t a very effective way of cleaning the teeth, wouldn’t you agree?
    Dental care for cats is still a new idea for most people. But I want the best for my cats, even if it means some inconvenience for me. Aren’t they worth it?

    Tartar control treats don’t really work. Its just an advertising trick they use to make you buy it.

    Just think about it…. Do pretzels and cookies clean your teeth?

    You’re totally right. Cats, as obligate carnivores, don’t have jaw muscles which enable them to grind food. Their mouths mostly go up and down. That’s why dry food has no health benefits to them (and plenty of health detriments).

    If your cat is vicious or scared to death, wrap him in a towel and get someone to hold him while you do the cleaning. All 3 of my cats hate it, but it needs to be done.
