When it comes to both treats and cat dental chews the bigger the better.
Cat teeth chews.
Many cats only begin grinding their teeth when they are eating chewing biting basically doing something with their mouths.
Tartar control treats and chews alone are not sufficient for effectively cleaning your cat s teeth but they can be used in moderation alongside a daily toothbrushing routine and a healthy diet.
It s unlikely these toys would impact common problem areas in the back of a cat s mouth.
In most cases cat dental treats come in dry form and are made from special ingredients and feature a more porous texture than regular treats.
Dental treats and chews are specially made to scrub the cat s teeth clean and fight mouth bacteria.
Many of the smaller treats that claim to remove plaque with their texture are actually small enough for your cat to swallow whole.
Cats typically don t chew on their toys and generally use only their canine teeth when hunting and playing.
You can even try using healthy chews and treats as a reward for good behavior while getting your cat used to having their teeth cleaned.
