My Feline Friend's Toothpaste Adventure: A Mixed Bag

summarizeEditor's Summary

I've been trying to get my cat into the habit of regular oral hygiene, and I recently picked up these little toothpaste pads with salmon cream. They're a decent starting point, but I gotta say, they're not the most effective toothpaste I've ever used. The price is pretty budget-friendly, so if you're just starting out, they might be worth a shot. However, you'll need to use them regularly to see any real results. I've been experimenting with different products to find the one that works best for my cat, and these pads are okay, but they're not my top pick. They're easy to use, and my cat seems to enjoy the taste, but I've noticed some irritation around her mouth after using the product. The pads can be a bit fragile and break easily, and the flavor can be overpowering for some cats. I've had to use them more frequently than I thought to see any real results. Overall, I'd say they're a good option for cats that are just getting their first teeth, but you might want to consider other products for more effective results.

Let's face it, keeping your cat's teeth clean isn't exactly a walk in the park. But it's a habit you should start as soon as they get their first teeth.
I recently tried to get my cat into the habit of regular oral hygiene, and I picked up these little pads with salmon cream. It's obvious you need to use them regularly, but you have to start somewhere.
Product name: Salmon cream pads

Shelf life: 24 months

Where I bought it: Pet store
πŸ’ΈπŸ’ΈπŸ’Έ The price is pretty budget-friendly, a bit over 100 rubles. But this is a multi-use product, so it's not a one-time expense.
🐱🐱🐱 PACKAGING 🐱🐱🐱
I went with the 'Rural treats' brand, we've bought stuff from them before and they have some decent natural ingredients, which is a big plus. Cats are like kids, they can be allergic to all sorts of things.
Here I looked at the INGREDIENTS:
Grains, plant protein, salmon, egg white, fish meal, ground shrimp, vegetable oil, potato, catnip, fruits and veggies, pomegranate seeds, cloudberry, spinach.
You can't really complain about the ingredients, they're all so healthy, including spinach - I'd eat it myself!
The packaging is cute, with a lovely fluffy mouse on the front. The manufacturer even recommends buying these pads.
Fresh breathHealthy teethThere are also images of green pads on the front, and anything with catnip in it, my cat just loves, so I didn't even have to think twice about whether he'd like it.
One thing that really stands out is the importance of keeping your pet's water fresh and clean. It's not just about the product itself, but about providing a comfortable life for your furry friend.
DESCRIPTION:
The crunchy texture of these treats is designed to remove plaque, prevent tartar buildup, and leave your cat's breath fresh. The meat-based filling is a hit with cats, making it a fun and tasty way to keep their teeth clean.
The packaging has a clever design with easy-open flaps on both sides, and a zip closure that makes it easy to store and reseal. I appreciate that it's not a one-time use product, and I don't need to worry about finding a way to secure the packaging.πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬› FEATURES πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬›
I'm glad that these treats don't have a strong odor, which is a major plus in my book. If you sniff really closely, you might catch a hint of a herbal scent, but it's not overpowering. Even my human nose doesn't find it too bothersome. Unfortunately, my cat wasn't too interested in trying them on his own, so I had to entice him with a little persuasion.
The recommended daily serving size is based on your cat's weight, and we followed the guidelines for our cat, which weighs around 5 kg. We gave him 12-13 treats per day, which is the suggested amount. Even if your cat loves these treats, it's essential to stick to the recommended serving size.
Each treat is relatively small, which makes it a bit tricky for my cat to get a good grip. I think they'd be more effective if they were a bit larger, allowing him to really chomp down.
They're crunchy on the outside and have a softer filling inside, which my cat seems to enjoy. He can easily crunch through them, and the texture is a nice change of pace from the usual dry kibble.
I tried everything to get my cat to eat these dental chews, but he just wasn't interested. He'd occasionally gnaw on one or two, but that was it. As far as I'm concerned, if my cat doesn't like it, it's not worth it. I'm not going to force him to eat them by mixing them into his food or coming up with some other scheme. Maybe he just didn't like the taste or the smell, but we ended up having to come up with creative ways to keep his mouth clean without relying on these chews.
🐈🐈🐈 THE VERDICT 🐈🐈🐈
I'd give this product a top rating because I liked the way it looks, the lack of a strong smell, the natural ingredients, and the cute design of the chews. Unfortunately, my cat didn't agree, so I can only give it two stars. That being said, I'd still recommend it because if your cat likes these chews, it's a great way to combine fun with a healthy habit.
My cat isn't particularly picky when it comes to food, and he loves trying new treats. In fact, his life consists of two main activities: eating and destroying things.
Since it was so hard to get him to eat these chews, he ended up not eating them at all, so I couldn't assess the effectiveness of the dental cleaning.
So, I'd recommend buying them, but with a personal rating of two stars.
