What are the best poultry-free dental treats for cats without chicken?

Hello. I do not know what might be available in Canada, but I highly recommend looking at this website for the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Click on the Accepted Products link at the top, then on accepted products for cats. It will list everything that is truly tested to provide results. Thanks for using PetCoach. https://www.vohc.org

I recommend you check out cat treats by Orijen. They have a wide variety of treats that contain meats other than chicken and seafood such as lamb, boar, and venison :-) https://www.orijen.ca/foods/cat-food/freeze-dried-cat-treats/?lang=us

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! PlaqueOff is a great product to try. We currently use the powder formulation for dogs and cats but if they have treats for cats this should be absolutely safe to try. As with any supplement, there are no guarantees it will work but it is worth a try. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Brushing is the best way to keep periodontal disease at bay - far better than any dental treat. But, if you want to give a treat as a reward after brushing I would think a dental treat would be most appropriate. Cats do not get cavities, so leaving food residue behind for bacteria is not quite as big of a deal in cats as it is for people. It's most important to physically brush the bacteria and biofilm plaque away from the gumline.

Hello and thank you for your questions about Molly. Unfortunately there are no dental diets that are labeled as natural. That does not mean that these diets are bad however. The kibble of these diets are formulated to remain intact until the tooth is fully buried in the kibble. This is unique and will help to scrub oof tartar and massage the gum tissue which creates better oral health. Normal cat kibble will break apart as soon as the tooth begins to push into the kible. It does not maintain its form to create a scrubbing action or promote gum health. These diets have been shown to improve oral health and the cats who eat them. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Great question! The Veterinary Oral Health Council is a group of veterinary dentists that investigates and reviews products that are marketed for dental care in pets. You can find a list of the products for cats that have received their seal of approval here: http://www.vohc.org/accepted_products_cats.html

Hello and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The short and sweet answer to your question is yes! Virbac makes a feline version of these so be sure to purchase to one formulated for cats. I hope Sweetie enjoys these- they are very good for the teeth.
