Can I use this without a toothbrush for my cat and it still have the same effect? He is anti-toothbrush and no way to convince him otherwise?

I would think that if you could put the gel on a piece of cloth wrapped around your finger it would work just fine. I don't think just squirting the gel in his mouth is going to do the trick though. Good luck!

We use this on our dog and rub it on his gums. Don't know about cats. Great product.

I think its effect is verry good but need tooth brush to completely remove plague. so I recommend to use brush once a week even you use this oral gel. ^^

I use this in combination with a tartar control toothpaste and the oratene water additive. While using this without a toothbrush probably isn't as effective it is certainly better than nothing if your cat won't tolerate the toothbrush.

Many thanks for this post - I'll be very curious to see how your cat reacts to the pet potty. My cat is old, hates all the other cats, and doesn't share anything - we have, it seems, much the same situation. Good luck!

This brush is SUPER effective-- my fiancée and I noticed a huge difference with our cat not coughing up hair balls. You just want to brush your cat consistently (1 or 2x per week depending on length of cat's hair) to ensure that your cat swallows much less hair. Hope it works for you!

I do not have a cat, and therefore can only speak to my experience this far using it with my dog. Honestly, I have not noticed a difference after using this product. I just got my dogs teeth cleaned at the vet, and am now hoping that this product will help with maintaining the cleaning job he just had done. Yes, you sprinkle this product on their food, using the recommended guidelines based on pet weight.

Oops! Just noticed that this was a question and not an ad...sorry, but I have not used this product for that purpose, but I wonder if it might help to spray it on a cloth near the door to help calm the cat down so it wouldn't be so persistent? Small old wash cloths or hand towels come in real handy in order to spray them instead of surfaces--and you can move them to various locations, saving the use of the spray. I would spray it intermittently in the area the cat is in during the day (I spray it on the edge of each cat bed and near where they eat--also in the living room in strategic locations you might try spraying it outside the door your cat is scratching as well , taking care to avoid spraying it where they might get it on their fur and lick it off). I sprayed it on the a blanket inside a crate when I took one of my stressed cats to the vet, and they used pheromones when she arrived, and she was affectionately writhing around, allowing the vet and technicians do anything they wanted with her! The vet tech just loved her because she was soooooo cooperative. This is a cat who will not let anyone lay eyes on her, no less touch her, when they visit my house! Hope this helped.~

This is the only brushing tool my cat likes, and she loves being brushed with this mitt! She is a short haired cat though, not sure how it works on longer hair but it's worth a try if your cat doesn't like other brushes. It is very important that long haired cats get regular brushing, so try it!

No idea. My cat likes all the flavors and his teeth and breath are much improved after just a couple of months. He is not a candidate for a teeth cleaning due to his age(14)and health(insulin dependent diabetic.He is on a prescription diet and "begs"(with a claw) people food. I decided that it would be better to give him something more beneficial than people meat. I NOW just get the hairball formula since he was constantly wanting more & more. He has never liked any treats before this. He is a grazer and never has gained any weight before. Now I think we're going to be in trouble when we go to the vet. That's why I cut back to the hairball kind & count how many I put in his dish. He LOVES them!!!

I noticed after a few days. I use one cap full in 4 cups water. I find that my cats sometimes prefer this in the glass water bowl vs the water fountain I have next to it which I cannot add the dental fresh to as it has a filter in it. As long as their breath doesn't smell I don't care.

This brush is surely for adult cats!!! My cat is 2 years now and it doesn't fit his mouth

I don't know about cats but I wanted to tell you that this product did nothing for my dog. Her teeth are still bad and her breath too. She is too old to have her teeth cleaned.

The powder has no taste and it will spread finely. As soon as your cat takes a bite or two, the saliva will dissolve the other crystals around them. It is a good powder to disguise in almost everything. Just don't pile it up in one pile. Then they just get suspicious!

It might help a bit, but the idea is to get it on the skin....we always give ours a good brushing, and then it only takes a few seconds. We soak a facecloth, microwave it for a few seconds (to warm it up), and scoop up the kitty - get it done, and follow that up with a few treats...believe me - ours doesn't like to be picked up, but, she tolerates it for a few seconds...good luck!!

Not a water additive....that is a different product. A gel that you try to get on the pets teeth. I think it might have worked on my late dogs, but my cat smells it and is gone like a flash.

You dont really. They just claim that their toothbrush will reach better. I will not buy this product again. Waste of money.

Ditto to other response by asherah--nothing but seaweed but seems to work. My 5 year old cat never has bad breath and no build-up of plaque so far.

Hi--I've been using this for years, and I think it works much better as a preventative than as a "cure," which sounds like what you are looking for. If your cat has dental problems, then a veterinary cleaning is probably necessary. If there is infection involved, then the vet should be involved.

I doubt I can help you since I use the spray on my Pug. She is very bullish when it comes to caring for her teeth. I can hardly get her mouth open. I don't know if your cat would allow you to mess with the mouth area. I suppose it depends on the cat's personality. When I bought the spray, my vet led me to believe I could just spray it on my Pug's food. That was wrong. No spray can be used on food......just in case you need to know this. I stopped using the product altogether when my Pug started having seizures. I'm so busy taking care of her in other ways, I forgot about the dental spray. I thought it was very expensive for such a small bottle. I doubt I can help you since I use the spray on my Pug. She is very bullish when it comes to caring for her teeth.
