Dude!! It worked so well!!! I showed Ollie my tooth brush and I showed him his. I brushed my teeth then told him he needs his teeth brushed. Ollie let me brush his front teeth without pulling away. We didn't get all his teeth today, but he was so calm and chill. I am so thankful to you. Wow man!! What a difference. Thank you again!!
Thank you! My kitten suffers from a lot of congenital teeth issues and my vet instructed me to brush his teeth as much as possible and your tips have been very helpful to make the process a positive experience for both of us!
I’m getting two kittens TOMORROW! 😻 I am 100% saving this to my cats TH-cam playlist to come back to once they’ve settled in - thank you for such a high quality video with step by step explanations!
i just tried brushing my cat’s teeth for the first time, admittedly a bit late with forrest having turned 1 year old a couple of days ago. but it is what it is, i suppose. funnily enough i went in without any actual knowledge of how to do anything, just put the paste (he for some reason absolutely loved) on the tiny toothbrush and he immediately went to fight me for it to lick it off of it. while he was busy chewing on it, i started to slowly move the brush to try and get as many of his teeth covered and scrubbed as possible. obviously that wasn’t actually teeth brushing but, i just thought it was funny how he was already near step 5, acceptance, right off the bat. now that ive watched this video, i have a little bit more of a grasp on how to go about keeping my cat’s dental hygiene in check. this comment was a little bit of a mess but still, thank u for making this video!! uve helped me quite a bit ! :’)
Hahaha I am glad the video helped a bit! No worries I learned a lot from reading your comment. I am glad your cat is quite accepting of it! He knows how to be healthy :)
Great video! To get my cats used to the sensation I'm also just rubbing their teeth with my finger when we snuggle (obviously with clean hands!!). I was thinking to myself, make them feel like they're getting pampered instead of forced into something mandatory lol.
I'm trying to get my 12 yo cat used to brushing teeth for the first time. Glad I found your video. I was having a hard time getting her to open her mouth so I could brush the inside of her teeth, but now I know it's not necessary. Also I have a little plastic cup next to me to dip the brush in it once in a while to keep it moist, probably helps spread the toothpaste a bit better.
Get those specialized matatabi/valerian root/TARTARIAN HONEYSUCKLE - These are also alternative for catnip. They will engage most cats immune to catnip to play , actively nibble and gnaw on the sticks and passively clean most plaque buildups. They tend to tire the cat out for easier sleep pattern control.
This video was in perfect timing, i just got the C.E.T toothpaste in the mail and tried brushing my cat's teeth today. I felt that the brush that was provided by mixlab had bristles that are too firm. Bought the kittyteeth toothbrush, hope it works out when it arrives tomorrow :)
I'm just getting started with brushing my cat's teeth. I seem to have gone about the first day of brushing all wrong. Thanks for the info. My queen doesn't chew her food at all! She's only 2 years old and already her teeth are disgusting. The vet suggested dental treats, but she swallows them whole as well.
@@TheCatButler can u reccomend a way I can medicate my little rascal she is having ear treatments for either mites or a fungi I think, the vet recommended some stuff to soothe her skin but I gotta aim 1ml down each ear twice a day and shes a horror to medicate. She gets muzzled or sedated at the vets coz she fights them so much.. any advice u can offer plz.. ty
@@TheCatButler tysm for answering my question really great advice.. I'll deffo try ur way, so far we've been covered in the cleaner after she shakes her head and I haven't been able to wipe it out yet but baby steps. Xx
Phenomenal video - Thank you! In particular, thank you for the toothbrush recommendation. I have already sort of brushed one of my cat's teeth (very food motivated, tolerates it for the toothpaste 😂), and finding even the small end of Virbac brush seems a bit large, and bristles feel stiff too quickly.
This is a very informative video about brushing your cats teeth. I'm no longer afraid to start trying to do this for my cat. I'm unsure if she's ever had her teeth brushed because I got her as a stray. But, she already enjoys having her chin and cheeks scratched, so, maybe it won't be so hard getting her used to having her teeth brushed. TYSM for sharing this video with us. 😻❣😍
Curtrice I am glad that the video was helpful! Yeah in the beginning it will be a little difficult, but slowly your cat will get use to it. The benefits will be enormous on their teeth. Teemo and Arya just came back from the vet and they were surprised how little tartar there is!
Gargling and brushing my own teeth in front of my kitten is a useful idea and I've been doing so for several weeks now. I got a pretty looking small toothbrush for my kitty and she likes to play with it occasionally. But as soon as I try to insert it into her mouth she gets reactive and runs away. I've still not been able to brush her teeth. However, rubbing the gums with my own finger is allowed and welcome!
I’ve just adopted a 7-month cat, he likes to cuddle to sleep and kiss good night, but the breath is ……… so I need to hold my breath. Vet said there’s small tartar. I wondered how to brush his teeth and found this video, thank you!
If you mind. With building acceptance for the toothbrush. Should you try first and gauge their tolerance/willingness to do it? Or should you show them that you can brush your teeth for a few times before trying to introduce them to it.
I would recommend showing them first you brushing your teeth a couple of times then try gauging their tolerance. I made the mistake of not doing that first and had a lot of difficulty with brushing their teeth. So I retraced my steps and showed them for a couple of days and then attempted again and they were more tolerant. Hope that helps!
thank u ❤ i tried in past to clean their teeth with a piece of gauze, so they get used to it, but as u said it takes time for them to get used to it and then transition to the toothbrush 😅 take care and thank u for your lovely videos 😍 God bless you and your family, thanks for caring them so much 🤩
I do feed him Raw. All they used to feed him was Meow Mix. I just bought a toothbrush and toothpaste for my cat. He's 6 a male and I got him about eight months ago. They obviously never brushed his teeth they never clipped his claws, I don't even think they ever brushed him even though he's short haired you still need to do it. This has become a real challenge.
Thank you❤I have a question: How old were your cats when you started brushing their teeth? My cats are twenty months old. I think it's too late to start brushing teeth
No one ever tells you to brush their teeth. I adopted a kitten. My kittens breath is stinky! I am going to buy a toothbrush for my kitten now. I also want to try bathing him. Need to get some water toys. Thank you for the Amazon links! I am going to subscribe and watch your other videos. This is so helpful!
I have an orange tabby male who roamed into my property about five years ago. He comes in at night but stays out during the day. His teeth definitely need brushing. I will begin this week.
Hello! In one of your video's, you had mentioned the vet bill for dental cleaning was mostly covered with your pet insurance. But from what I've seen... most "dental" work is not covered by insurance, or it will count as "preventative care" so it's not covered. I'm curious to know if your dental cleaning... was is treated as "surgery"?? I'm considering dental cleaning and and looking for pet insurance at the moment... was curious how you're dental bills were covered.
Hey you can watch this video on pet insurance I did: th-cam.com/video/gfRwOyG4lmk/w-d-xo.html But yeah you need to add wellness coverage for preventative care. Without wellness coverage it only covers accidents. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much for your TH-cam channel and especially for this video. Could you recommend a brand of toothpaste for cats? Possibly one that is chicken flavored . My cat Dusty and I would appreciate any advice. Thank you!
@@TheCatButler Thank you so much for the quick reply. I just put an order in for Kittyteeth toothbrush purchased directly from their website. Now I will order the toothpaste. Once they arrive, I will take it nice and slow with Dusty. 😊
At 5:23, are you bringing the toothbrush with toothpaste on it to her face, or is this part without any toothpaste, and then later you add the toothpaste (5:42)?
How do you get to the bottom teeth on the sides? When her mouth is closed her top teeth cover them. When I open her mouth to reach the bottom side teeth, she starts freaking out and biting onto the brush
Hi Jasmin that’s a good question! So not sure how cooperative your cat is. But my cats are still not too cooperative. The safe method is for the bottom molar teeth to lightly place my hand on the bottom of the lower jaw so there is less jaw movement. Then try to brush their molar teeth when they open the jaw. If you are still not able to do, the second method is a little bit more risky and should be only tried if you know your cat won’t bite you. I use a part of my nail and stick it in between their front teeth. Avoid the canine teeth just the small front teeth. It would open the jaw just enough to brush the molar without the cat feeling too stressed. Their front teeth just lightly touches my nail. I use the nail so if they do bite I won’t get hurt too much. I repeat only do the second method if you trust your cat Hope that helps!
I'm trying to figure out what's changed from the days when I was a kid that we had cats live 15-18 years without teeth problems to today? We never brushed their teeth and they never had problems. So I'm totally confused.
During those days you mention, when exactly was that and what kind of food were they being fed? I know that some cat food producers add sugar to food and treats; In humans, sugar is the number one cause of tooth decay. So it seems reasonable to conclude that it might be added sugar to pet food that could be a reason for this supposed change that you mention.
One year isn’t too late yet. you can start brushing your cats teeth and schedule an appointment with the vet to examine how much tartar build up there is and whether a dental cleaning is needed. Hope that helps!
I'm brushing my cat's teeth daily but don't think I can do 30secs each side. I tried. I just use water and toothbrush or dry brushing sometimes without toothpaste. Do you think that's effective? There're so many cat toothpastes and seems there's always unsafe ingredients so I don't know which one to pick...
Hey good question! Dry brushing and using water is a start so pat yourself on the back. Most owners have a trouble doing that. The tooth pastes contain an enzyme that will help remove, loosen, and reduce pre-existing and future plaque and tartar build-up. At least in my own experience it has helped with my cat's teeth, they haven't had any bleeding of gums. Hope that helps!
My cat has a heart murmur and I'm worried about taking him to the vet for a dental cleaning because he will be given an anesthetic. Not good for a cat with a heart murmur, right? He is 8 years old and is not fond of having his teeth brushed. I started too late! Not sure how to deal with this -- annoy him with a daily tooth brushing or take him to the vet?
Hmm you can see what the vet says whether the cat can handle an anesthetic. Ideally doing both would help. The cleaning will get rid of the tartar and plaque and the daily tooth brushing to maintain the teeth after it. Yeah my cats are not fond of it either. It requires some patience.
right now my cat is very old and hadn't had her teeth brushed for a long time so this wouldn't be very effective as she's already lost a tooth but I think if I were to try she would just rub it against her cheek and get the toothpaste all over her face
Hey Whit some ingredients in human toothpaste is toxic to cats. One or lick won't kill your cat, but too many can. I recommend you monitor your cat and if you see vomiting, weakness, drooling to see the vet for a closer check up.
Hey Kittens get all their baby teeth usually by 6 to 8 weeks of age. You can start to brush then so they get use to it and learn not to hate it. During the brief period when the baby teeth are falling out and the permanent teeth are erupting, be very careful to avoid areas where the baby teeth have fell out as it can be painful for your cat. Otherwise patience and your cat will learn to accept tooth brushing :)
I'm having the same looking cat but he's not having slight ginger 😉 also his name's " Mothi " 😊 Luv u Teemo and Arya 😘😘 Actually my name is also Arya 🤭
Brushing her teeth is hard because the toothpaste tastes so she tries to eat the toothbrush and she doesn't like to be stuck but she accepts that for a little while because of the toothpaste haha
It will be like that in the beginning unfortunately. It took me a month of persistence for the cats to be okay with me brushing. Patience and dedication.
I have ragdoll cat, same color as in video. His name is Rengar :D he actually likes to playfully jump on us from around the corner (without claws, just jump - meow - run), so he is really Rengar :D
@@TheCatButler Thank you, he is our little tiger 😊 btw: Thank you for your videos, they are really helpfull, it is my first time having a cat and your videos are the best 🙂
Hey Felicity cats usually eat cat grass more to help with digestion and some minor nutrients. Unfortunately just like us cats need to have their teeth brushed, or they may lose them. Hope that helps!

Is human toothpaste harmful to cats and I accidentally let him have a lil bit what do I do?

Hey Kittens get all their baby teeth usually by 6 to 8 weeks of age. You can start to brush then so they get use to it and learn not to hate it.
During the brief period when the baby teeth are falling out and the permanent teeth are erupting, be very careful to avoid areas where the baby teeth have fell out as it can be painful for your cat.

Brushing her teeth is hard because the toothpaste tastes so she tries to eat the toothbrush and she doesn't like to be stuck but she accepts that for a little while because of the toothpaste haha
And for our next video: How to reattach severed fingers after they were bitten off by an angry cat
okay so does do i rinse my cats mouth
Hey good question! You don’t have to rinse your cats mouth
My cat fight me when I breath her teeth she is just 1
What do I do
It will be like that in the beginning unfortunately. It took me a month of persistence for the cats to be okay with me brushing. Patience and dedication.
My 3 month old kitten's breath smell like death
hahahah
😄😄😄
League of Legends chase me

I have ragdoll cat, same color as in video. His name is Rengar :D he actually likes to playfully jump on us from around the corner (without claws, just jump - meow - run), so he is really Rengar :D
@@barborajirova5691 Rengar sounds beautiful :)
@@TheCatButler Thank you, he is our little tiger 😊 btw: Thank you for your videos, they are really helpfull, it is my first time having a cat and your videos are the best 🙂
The cats has barely any teeth
You we’re squeezing every drop of toothpaste out of the tub💀💀💀💀
I thought cats could eat grass to brush their teeth? That's why they eat/ chew grass.
Hey Felicity cats usually eat cat grass more to help with digestion and some minor nutrients. Unfortunately just like us cats need to have their teeth brushed, or they may lose them. Hope that helps!
Can you go on TH-cam and let your cat watch people brushing their teeth from their ???
You can, I think it’s more impactful if they watch you since you are their parent and guardian. They trust you more.
@@TheCatButler Thank you my kitten has been very happy ever since I have been brushing her teeth. Thanks again Best Channel Ever!!!
