What's The Best Toothpaste For A Sphynx Cat?
Did you know that when you use a toothpaste to brush your Sphynx cat's teeth, they will end up swallowing that toothpaste? Just like food, it's important that you pay attention to the ingredients in the toothpaste your cat will ingest. Below, we'll discuss why ingredients matter and what type of toothpaste you should use to clean your cat's pearly whites. Let's get started!
What's In Your Cat's Toothpaste?
When you look at the back of standard pet toothpaste, the ingredients can be a little alarming. Knowing that your cat will ingest these ingredients, it may make you reconsider whether standard toothpaste is worthy of your cat. Most standard toothpastes are full of sweetness, preservatives, whitening agents, and synthetic fillers. Your cat deserves the best, and their toothpaste should be no exception.
Natural Cat Toothpaste Is Best
When it comes to anything your hairless baby eats or ingests, natural is always best. When selecting a toothpaste for your cat, ensure the toothpaste is specifically formulated for pets. Most human toothpastes contain ingredients that cats can't ingest, like xylitol. You should never use human toothpaste for pets.
When finding a cat toothpaste, look for words like “natural” or “organic ingredients”.
