Taking care of your cat ’s teeth
Looking after your cat ’s teeth is very important. Approximately 70% of cats over three years of age have dental disease. Most owners find brushing their cats teeth very difficult. Your cat’s diet is a major factor contributing to the health of their teeth. Complete dry biscuit diets, such as Hill's Veterinary Essentials, are much better than wet food at removing plaque and preventing the development of mouth problems.
