Hello there! It's great that you're thinking about your cat's dental health. Brushing your cat's teeth is a wonderful preventive measure against the buildup of plaque and tartar, which can lead to gum disease and other dental issues. Ideally, you should aim to brush your cat’s teeth daily. However, I understand that might not always be feasible.
Brushing your cat's teeth at least three times a week can still make a positive impact. Even this frequency can help reduce the risk of dental disease and maintain better oral health. Start slowly, using a cat-friendly toothbrush and toothpaste, and see what your kitty is comfortable with.
If you're new to this, begin by letting your cat get used to the smell and taste of the toothpaste, and then gradually introduce the brushing motion. Always be gentle, and keep sessions short and positive.
Look out for signs such as bad breath, red or swollen gums, drooling, or difficulty eating, as these can indicate more serious issues that might need a vet's attention.
If you have any concerns or if your cat is showing any of these signs, I’d recommend setting up a video consultation with us at Dial A Vet. We’re here to help you ensure your feline friend’s teeth stay healthy and strong!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
