Generally, cats between the ages of 5 and 8 are more likely to develop calculus disease. For cats who often eat soft food, a large amount of food residues and bacteria are more likely to adhere to their teeth. Especially for cats who eat soft food and cannot brush their teeth in time, the situation of food residues and bacteria remaining in the mouth will be more serious. So what products can help cats prevent dental calculus and keep their teeth healthy?

1. Toothbrush:For cats, the first criterion for a good toothbrush is that it can be put into the mouth. For larger cats, finger cots are a good choice because it is relatively flexible to use your fingers to control the contact between the brush head and the teeth. If your cat is smaller and has difficulty using finger cots, an orthodontic toothbrush or a pet-specific toothbrush may be more suitable. In terms of material, it is best to choose a toothbrush with soft bristles so that you can clean your cat's gums while brushing. If your cat is not particularly resistant to the sound of an electric toothbrush, then an electric toothbrush with both rotation and vibration functions can indeed improve the efficiency of plaque removal.

2. Molar stick: In order to keep the cat’s teeth healthy, in addition to brushing the cat’s teeth, you can also use a molar stick. The most common molar stick for cats is the Mutian Polygonum molar stick. As mentioned in the article, generally cats over 6 months old can use Mutian Polygonum, but it is not suitable for long-term use. Therefore, when choosing Mutian Polygonum molar stick, you should also pay attention to the frequency of use and do not use it too frequently. Generally speaking, once every two weeks is enough for adult cats.

3. Toy pillow: While brushing the cat’s teeth and using a teething stick, you can also prepare a toy pillow for the cat. When choosing a pillow for the cat, pay attention to choosing cotton with better material. It can reduce deformation and can be used for a long time. Generally, cat toy pillows contain catnip. As mentioned in previous articles, catnip can stimulate cats and make them excited. This is why cats are interested in toy pillows. The reason is that when the cat plays with the pillow, it will also have certain benefits for the cat’s teeth.
