Highlighted Reviews
"This product is well tolerated by cats. The seafood flavor allows easy application to the mouth. Simply instill one drop to each side of the mouth. Previously, the mint flavor was attempted but rejected after numerous trials."
"Cats hate the taste and my vet says better off to eat crunch abrasive food for teeth."
Bottom Line
Two top criticisms are that cats don’t like the taste and application actually causes them pain and distress. For a product such as a dental cleansing aid, it’s crucial to have pets accept the treatment to work on their teeth. Many cat owners either had to change brands or feeders.
