She dodges the toothbrush, ignores the powder and wants the treat. Cats pick the dental care, not us. These three each match a different cat.
Quick verdict: treat lover, Feline Greenies. Treat refuser, ProDen PlaqueOff. A cat who lets you try, the Jasper Microbrush.
Head to head, by cat
The cat who loves a crunchy treat: Feline Greenies
Hand it over like any other treat. Feline Greenies are crunchy, under 2 calories each, and the VOHC cat list has Feline Greenies Dental Treats for tartar.
The cat who refuses treats and brushes: ProDen PlaqueOff
A kelp powder you sprinkle on her food once a day. Nothing to chew, nothing to hold still for. The VOHC cat list has ProDen PlaqueOff Powder for plaque and tartar.
The cat who lets a finger near her mouth: Jasper Microbrush
Extra-soft bristles on a head sized for cats and small dogs, so a mouth that clamps at a full-size brush has a chance. It is the only one of the three that physically wipes the teeth.
