What are some cat dental treats other than plaque off that does not have poultry?
Ark Naturals makes a poultry free dental chew. VetriScience Perio Plus also has a poultry free line. It may be difficult since chicken is an inexpensive, therefore common, ingredient in foods and treats. Another option would be to bake your own dental treats at home. You can find numerous recipes online using your preferred search engine. Search "homemade poultry free dental treat, cat".

I prefer all natural cat foods. Does anyone make a natural dry cat food that is a Dental Diet?
Hello and thank you for your questions about Molly. Unfortunately there are no dental diets that are labeled as natural. That does not mean that these diets are bad however. The kibble of these diets are formulated to remain intact until the tooth is fully buried in the kibble. This is unique and will help to scrub oof tartar and massage the gum tissue which creates better oral health. Normal cat kibble will break apart as soon as the tooth begins to push into the kible. It does not maintain its form to create a scrubbing action or promote gum health. These diets have been shown to improve oral health and the cats who eat them. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I'm trying to brush my cat's teeth but I'm having trouble. I have tried to do the slow getting him used to it thing. It's working on the right side of his mouth, but everytime I try on the left, he gives me a hard time. He only let's me rub my finger
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! You are my hero for trying to brush Nala's teeth. If you haven't tried to start with the left side first, do that. Yes, at least getting the enzyme tooth paste on the teeth will do something. The brushing does help the most. Try to brush at least 3 times per week. They also make a tooth brush that fits on your finger tip, that may work better for her. Also check out the link for the Veterinary Oral Health Council's recommended products. Otherwise just keep trying! Practice makes perfect and also hopefully Nala will acclimate. She may still be sensitive on the one side from the cleaning. I hope this helps and I wish you and Nala the best! http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3497 http://www.vohc.org/accepted_products_cats.html

Dr. Hinson, what about the brand Oxyfresh or brushless toothpaste? Either of those any good? Btw, I ordered some Allivet stuff you showed me it’s supposed to arrive today. Both my bubba and Mia have really bad dander. If I brush them, it comes out in
I'm not as familiar with the Oxyfresh brand. The Oratene products are amazing and they have a brushless gel as well. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-5484-oratene-veterinarian-antiseptic-oral-gel-1-oz.aspx ) Glad you are getting the other products. Hope they help!
