Your cat is an independent creature and you want to respect her need to do things on her own. However, there are a lot of things she simply can’t handle on her own, like keeping her teeth clean. Should you brush them to help her out?

Brushing your cat’s teeth is an important part of caring for your pet’s oral hygiene. You should take the time to seek out a toothbrush and toothpaste that are designed for feline use. These will fit your pet’s needs the best. They will also allow you to care for your pet’s teeth to help keep plaque and tartar from becoming an issue in her life. Keep in mind that it may take some time for your pet to get used to having her teeth brushed, so be patient. For more information, please contact your local Fox Chapel, PA vet clinic.
