Peanut butter DENTAL GEL FOR DOGS, on my cat?

Thanks for your question! It’s great that you’re attentive to your pet's oral health. Although peanut butter dental gel is made for dogs, it’s not advisable to use it on your cat. Cats have different dietary needs and sensitivities, and some dog products contain ingredients that could upset their stomachs or be harmful. For example, xylitol, which can be found in some dental products, is highly toxic to cats.



If you’ve already used the gel, monitor your cat for any unusual behaviors, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, as these might indicate a negative reaction. Make sure they have plenty of water and are comfortable at home.



To keep your cat’s teeth healthy at home, consider using products specifically formulated for cats, like cat-specific toothbrushes and toothpaste. Providing dental treats and maintaining a healthy diet can also support their oral hygiene.



If you notice persistent bad breath, brownish teeth, or red, swollen gums, these could be signs of dental disease that require a veterinarian’s attention.
