Frequently Asked Questions

Do cats need toothbrushes?

Cats need toothbrushes to maintain their oral health. Brushing your cat's teeth at home can help prevent dental issues like plaque and tartar buildup, which contribute to bad breath and potential health issues like gum disease. Regular brushing also removes food debris and bacteria from your cat's teeth and gums, promoting overall dental hygiene. 

In addition to brushing, you can supplement your cat's dental routine with other cat dental care products such as cat dental wipes, gels, and chews.

Can I brush my cat's teeth with a human toothbrush?

Using a human toothbrush to brush your cat's teeth is never recommended. Human toothbrushes are designed for larger mouths and may be too harsh or uncomfortable for your cat. Additionally, human toothbrushes may not effectively reach all areas of your cat's mouth. 

Instead, using a cat toothbrush with a smaller head and softer bristles is always best to provide a gentle yet effective cleaning experience.

How do you brush a cat's teeth at home?

Brushing your cat's teeth at home requires patience and a gentle approach. Depending on your cat, you may need to gradually get them accustomed to toothpaste and toothbrushes. Choose a quiet, comfortable spot for the brushing session, and use a toothbrush for cats with soft bristles. 

Apply a small amount of cat toothpaste, ensuring it's a flavor your cat enjoys. Gently lift your cat's lip to expose their teeth and gums, then brush using gentle circular motions. Aim to brush your cat's teeth daily to support oral hygiene and prevent dental issues.

What is the best toothbrush for cats?

The best cat toothbrush depends on what works best for you and your cat. The C.E.T. Dual Ended Dog & Cat Toothbrush and the C.E.T. Fingerbrush for Cats & Dogs are two popular options. Both are designed to help you keep your cat's teeth clean and healthy.

The C.E.T. Dual Ended Dog & Cat Toothbrush features a dual-ended design with two brush heads, one small and one large. The small brush head is ideal for reaching the teeth in the back of your cat's mouth, while the larger head works well for the front teeth. It's designed to provide thorough cleaning and is suitable for both dogs and cats. The long handle offers a comfortable grip, making maneuvering easier during brushing sessions.

The C.E.T. Fingerbrush for Cats & Dogs is a soft, flexible brush that fits over your finger for easy use. It's especially helpful for cats who may be resistant to traditional toothbrushes. The brush's textured surface helps to remove plaque and debris from your cat's teeth and gums while massaging their gums for improved oral health.

How often do cats need their teeth brushed?

Ideally, cats should have their teeth brushed at least a few times per week to maintain good oral hygiene. However, brushing daily is even better if possible. Consistency is key to seeing positive results, so establishing a regular brushing routine is essential for your cat's dental health.
