Taking care of your cat’s teeth
Good oral health can lead to better overall health for your cat as well.
Why your cat’s oral health matters
Why your cat’s oral health matters
Neglecting your cat’s teeth can lead to medical problems that can affect your pet’s overall health and happiness in addition to their tooth and gum health. Poor dental hygiene can cause painful conditions like gingivitis and periodontitis, infections, loss of appetite, tooth loss, bleeding gums, and more. It’s important to brush your cat’s teeth, get dental checkups at your vet, and get professional cleanings done when needed.
Brush your cat’s teeth
Brush your cat’s teeth
Brushing your cat’s teeth often (preferably daily) is important for both their oral and overall health. If you can’t brush daily, aim for three times a week. To help keep your kitty’s teeth pearly white as well as minimize plaque and tartar buildup, brush regularly with a cat toothbrush (or a piece of gauze wrapped around your finger) and cat-friendly toothpaste. Don’t use human toothpaste for your feline friend as it can be harmful to them. Dental wipes may also be helpful.

In addition to being a tasty snack, cat dental treats can help keep your cat’s teeth and gums healthy. They can also get rid of bad kitty breath. And a happy mouth means a happier, healthier cat.

What is a visit with Dutch like?
What is a visit with Dutch like?
When booking a video call with a vet, you'll be asked a few questions about your pet’s health issue. Depending on the issue, you may also be asked to fill out a longer questionnaire about their symptoms and share photographs of them so our veterinarians can better understand what’s going on. You’ll then pick an appointment time that works best for you.
During your video call, one of our licensed veterinarians will talk to you about the symptoms your pet is experiencing, ask you questions, review your pet’s medical history if you’ve provided it, and answer any questions you have. The vet will ask to see your pet and their environment. And they may ask you to perform some simple checks on them if needed.
After your video call, the vet will send you a message with a custom treatment plan to help your pet feel better, including a link to buy any recommended prescription or over-the-counter medications. Place your order and we’ll ship it free.
How do I know if you can treat my pet?
How do I know if you can treat my pet?
Our vets can provide care and prescriptions for more than 150 issues — and over 90% of cases can be treated virtually.
The vet can diagnose your pet based on your description of their symptoms, their medical history, seeing them during your video call, and, if needed, through uploaded photos and videos. They may ask you to do a few simple checks during the call. We also offer a number of at-home lab test kits for dogs and cats.
The health and safety of pets is our top priority. In the rare case that a vet determines a pet needs to go to a local clinic, they’ll provide a referral and offer advice on how to care for them until they can be seen.
Some things that require in-person care include emergencies, wounds that need stitches, and issues that require blood work, imaging (X-rays or ultrasounds), or surgery.
Our vets are always available for second opinions and follow-up care after in-person vet visits — so you don’t have to navigate health issues alone.
