Feline Greenies Dental Treats are VOHC-accepted for the reduction of tartar and come in a variety of delicious flavors.secondly - what's the alternative? general anesthetic which your cat may not wake-up from & is expensive. Feline Greenies have been shown to reduce tartar. They contain vitamins and minerals like calcium carbonate and zinc oxide and have a crunchy texture that helps scrub teeth and gums as a cat eats. Greenies can be given to cats who are 1 year or older. For greatest efficacy, the company recommends feeding a 10-pound cat eight treats twice a day. Although each treat is only 2 calories, they add up to around 15% of the calories a 10-pound cat requires in a day. To prevent them from gaining weight, you'll have to reduce the amount of cat food you feed them daily. Unlike human toothpaste, this, therefore, doesn’t need to be rinsed out and is safe to swallow, meaning it can clean and protect teeth for longer. It also means brushing is not essential, although it’s still recommended for best results. Avoiding Harmful Ingredients

For this guide to the best dental products for cats, we consulted three veterinarians, one of them a board-certified veterinary dentist, and tested 18 kinds of toothpaste, toothbrushes, water additives, and dental treats. We also looked to the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC), an organization that governs and certifies pet dental products, and the dental care guidelines established by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). You can read more about our methodology at the end of this guide.Zymox Oratene Water Additive: This enzymatic water additive is tasteless and odorless and my cats drank it readily. However, as Snyder told us, looking at ingredients alone doesn't necessarily indicate that the formula is effective at promoting dental health. The thing that best confirms that is a VOHC seal, which Zymox Oratene doesn't have. Thebeaphar Toothpaste is made without fluoride, using a 2-fold systemthat strengthens the natural function of saliva and reduces plaque in cats and dogs. Thorough dental care helps to remove any remnants of food from between your pet's teeth. Additional ingredients in thisbeaphar Toothpaste help to combat bacteria and germs, which in turn helps to reduce caries and periodontosis as well as preventing tartar formation. Instead of allowing observations about my cat's teeth to dictate the selections, I looked at the factors I could evaluate: whether my cats appeared to enjoy or at least tolerate the product, how easy the product was to use, and the product's ingredients and their known efficacy. Most importantly, I looked to see if the product had a VOHC seal of acceptance confirming its efficacy at controlling plaque and tartar. The best defense against dental problems is preventing them from starting in the first place with daily at-home oral care. Brushing a cat's teeth daily helps prevent plaque, tartar, and the development of periodontal disease. Water additives and dental treats can also promote the dental health of cats who can't tolerate brushing.
