Your cat needs your care each and every day. Her teeth are no exception to this, yet many cat owners aren’t aware of the fact that cat’s need their teeth brushed too. In fact, cat’s mouths need attention for many of the same reasons their owner’s do, and should be given this attention on a regular basis. Regular brushings can help keep plaque and tartar from becoming an issue, and can do wonders in keeping your pet happy and healthy as well as comfortable. This interaction allows you to familiarize yourself with your pet’s teeth, and therefore be able to better determine if and when there is an issue that needs the attention of a professional. It can also give you a better idea of your cat’s general health, thus allowing you to care for her more thoroughly.
