Cat Dental Treats

Diet alone can’t control plaque, and most cats aren’t toothbrush fans. That’s where dental snacks for cats come in. Their unique texture creates a gentle abrasive effect during chewing, which may help remove soft plaque and food debris. Some cat teeth cleaning treats also contain ingredients that may help minimise food residue and the early stages of plaque accumulation. When combined with a dental care cat food, many owners find that bacteria and food debris are kept at bay.

Tip: Combine dental treats with regular check-ups, a balanced diet, and vet-recommended products. Dental snacks for cats, cat toys, and specialist dental diets can be useful additions to your cat’s dental care routine. If you have concerns about your cat’s dental health, see your vet.

Dental snacks for cats are more than just a tasty treat, but how do you know which snack to get for your cat? Here's a guide to help you choose:

Note: Dental treats are best used as part of a broader oral care routine, not a substitute for vet cleanings. Inform yourself about dental hygiene for cats and ensure you see your vet if you’re concerned about your cat’s dental health.

Cats are good at hiding discomfort, but oral health problems are more common than you might think. If you notice any of the following, it may be time to consult your vet:

• Bad breath
• Drooling or pawing at the mouth
• Refusal to eat dry food
• Bleeding or inflamed gums
• Tooth discolouration
• Behaviour changes (less grooming, lethargy)

Tip: Dental disease is more common in senior cats, so routine care and early prevention, including dental treats for cats, is important. However, make sure you see your vet for personalised care if you’re in doubt. 

Yes, many cat owners find that high-quality dental chews for cats may help reduce plaque formation when used regularly as part of a dental care routine. 

Dental treats should only make up a small part of your cat’s daily intake. Always follow the feeding guidelines on the packaging and adjust your cat’s main meals accordingly. If you're unsure about the right amount or your cat has specific dietary needs, check with your vet for tailored advice.

Look for cat teeth cleaning treats that are textured, low in sugar, and contain active ingredients for oral support. Ask your vet for specific recommendations.
