I am attaching a link to the products that the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) has tested and approved for use. http://www.vohc.org/accepted_products.htm You will see that the list for cats is pretty short, but there are some diets, treats and water additives that might be an option for you. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.

Discontinue the Fresh Breath as well. Feed Kali a bland diet until the stool returns to normal then transition slowly to her regular diet. Wait a week then try the Fresh Breath again, if she breaks with diarrhea then you will know there is something in it that does not agree with her. As long as she is behaving normally otherwise, then she likely does not need to see the veterinarian.

Greenies can help, and water additives can be effective, but ultimately the best thing for Artemis is a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing with the vet. I also recommend a dental food like Hill's t/d. I hope this helps!

Unfortunately there is not much that will help with the bad breath and dental disease at home. There are many solutions on line that you can formulate yourself but I always caution pet owners that any of these can cause GI upset and lead to vomiting / diarrhea. Some formulations that you will find online can be toxic as well. So stay away from the natural home remedies. If you are able to order from an online store, I would recommend an enzymatic toothpaste such as CET oral enzymatic toothpaste. You can also start Tartar Shield Cat Treats and can also find these online. Once the lockdown is over, I would recommend having Darcy's mouth looked at to be sure there is no infection in the mouth. I hope this helps!

You can try dipping the finger brush in tuna water before rubbing it on your cat's teeth to make the experience more pleasant. That may make Lily more willing to open her mouth. I would also cradle her from behind, cup her chin, and lift up her lip to clean her teeth. HealthyMouth's range of water additive products is approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council, and has been approved for the removal of plaque. I would recommend using one of there water additive products.
