Fairly nice toothbrush for cats. I bought two so they each have their own. It's identical to the toothbrush by PetDental. Still, it could be a little smaller and softer. I don't know what's so hard about making a tiny toothbrush for a cat's tiny mouth, but this is one of the best I've seen. The slight angle of the brush head does make it easier to use. I thought about buying the little brush also sold by C.E.T (the one with the round head), but my cats are accustomed to the brushes I bought, so I decided to stick with what they are familiar with (myself included).
I position my cats so they are sitting in front of me, but facing away so I can place place one hand over the top of the head and GENTLY hold the top part of the jaw so I can open the mouth and then with my other hand try to brush as much as I can before they need a break, then I repeat this until all areas are brushed. I try not to brush longer than 2-3 minutes since they are fed up with the whole thing if it takes too long. This is a nightly routine. One of my cats is easier to work with, but the other I have to wrap in a towel so she can't paw at me. Afterwards I brush them with their slicker brush (which they love) as a reward. I praise them when they behave well. I find when I praise good behavior, it makes the whole toothbrushing routine easier and they continue to improve.
My cats seem to expect it now as part of our night-time routine, and in the long-run it will save a lot of money in vet bills. Tooth extraction or a dental cleaning is way too expensive.
If you care about your babies, you'll take care of their teeth. They'll be healthier and live longer!Get more detail about C.E.T. Pet Toothbrush.
