CATDOLL : How often do cats need to brush their teeth?

Generally speaking, it is best to brush a cat's teeth 2-3 times a week. If the cat eats less meat and its teeth are not very dirty, it can be brushed once a week. When brushing a cat's teeth, you need to use a pet-specific toothbrush and toothpaste. Never use human toothpaste for cats to prevent cats from being poisoned. Brushing a cat's teeth regularly can effectively prevent the occurrence of oral diseases.

Tips for brushing your cat’s teeth:

1. Cut the cat's claws before brushing to prevent it from breaking free and scratching its owner if it doesn't like brushing.

2. If your cat doesn’t like ordinary toothbrushes, you can change to glove brush heads, fingertip brush heads, or 360-degree brush heads. Mainly, don’t use human toothbrushes, as human toothbrushes are too hard and can damage your cat’s mouth.

3. If the cat does not cooperate with brushing its teeth, you can reward it with small snacks. The reward mechanism will make the cat interested in brushing its teeth. When brushing its teeth, you should also adopt a comfortable posture such as squatting, lying on your side, etc.

4. You can use products to help cats clean their mouths, such as toothpaste, tooth cleaning powder, etc.
