cat scale and polish

[hollybabe08]

We are taking our cat to the vet for a scale and polsh on her teeth. Its going to cost �150-�200. We are willing to pay it because we love her to bits. However, does this have to be done every year or can this be prevented by brushng her teeth? Although we have pet insurance, they have said cat dentistry is a gray area, she might be covered or she might not.

You can get something called Plaque Off which you sprinkle on the cats food which keeps their teeth clean, it's completely natural, made with seaweed extract I believe, I know several dog owners who have been using for some time now and they all reccomend it, I'm sure you can use it on cats as well, Try Googling it.

I have just been advised by my vet that my cat will need this soon unless I changed his diet. He is now off the wet food and has gone onto the Hills td dry food which is supposed to scrape the tartare off their teeth. Time will tell I suppose!

I can also recommend Plaque off, its fantastic stuff. i have a rescue dog she is 7 years old, when i first had her, her teeth were covered in thick scale, we were reluctant to have a dental because of heart problems, so tried plaque off. Its not an over night solution but three months later there was a Massive improvement, a year later and her teeth look like new, a good quality dried food has also helped, but the cat (now 7) also has plaque off and her teeth are pearly white. I have never brushed her teeth and she has never had a dental.
