Brushing teeth is a must-do thing for us humans every day, but do you know? In fact, cats also need to brush their teeth, so do you want to know how to brush their teeth? What are the methods? Let’s learn more about it together~
1. Prepare related items
To brush your cat’s teeth, you need to prepare a pet-specific toothbrush and toothpaste. Never use human toothpaste to brush your cat’s teeth to avoid causing cat poisoning. If a cat really doesn't like brushing his teeth, you can also try using mouthwash, tooth powder and other products with teeth cleaning functions.
2. After the tools are prepared, the owner must protect the cat. It is best to fix the cat with a towel first and wrap the limbs and feet inside to prevent the cat from scratching it randomly. At the same time, you can also touch the cat's head and chin to let it relax. After a long time, the cat slowly adapts and you don't have to wrap a towel.
3. Start brushing your teeth
After everything is ready, the owner can start brushing the cat's teeth. At the beginning, you can squeeze a little toothpaste to let the cat taste the taste and adapt, and then gently brush it from top to bottom after opening your mouth. If the cat is not very rebellious at the beginning, you can brush some of the teeth a day and brush one more teeth every day. Don’t be too eager to brush all the teeth for the cat. It is best to do it in several times, otherwise the cat may be reluctant to brush teeth in the future.
4. Appropriate rewards
After brushing the cat's teeth, the owner can also give the cat a certain reward, such as giving the cat's favorite snacks and snacks, or playing with the cat's teasing sticks, so that the cat knows that it will like after brushing its teeth, and will not overreject brushing.
