CETToothbrush for Cats

So, my cat's breath was heinous. Like, if she opened her mouth within 2 feet of my face i would have to back away. I turned to the interwebz and found that the solution was brushing my cat's teeth. Sounds... daunting. But, the interwebz tells me, it will be much less effort with enzymatic tooth paste. So i turn to Amazon to see what's available. This little brush fits decently in my cat's mouth (she's a tiny 6 pounder), and she doesn't hate the flavor of the toothpaste. But the miracle is that within 4 days, my cat's breath was no longer appalling! Super excited that it took so little effort and i wish i'd found this earlier. The tiny tube of toothpaste that comes with it really stretches - it doesn't take much toothpaste! I found it easiest to squeeze it into a little tupperware and just dip the brush in. I bet it will last easily 6 weeks.

This makes brushing my cat’s teeth so easy! It’s three inches long so it’s small enough to use in her mouth and the bristles are nice and soft. I use a tiny bit of the included toothpaste and just sort of wipe her teeth with it (like a paintbrush) to brush off the food and plaque each night. She doesn’t mind it at all, as long as she gets her probiotic “treat” afterwards ;)

This is the best pet toothbrush I've found for my cat. Most pet toothbrushes are too large and intrusive when I try to put them in my cat's mouth. I gather most pet toothbrushes are made with dogs in mind. Finger brushes are terrible. They are too large to attempt to stick in my cat's mouth and the bristles seem too small and flimsy to effectively brush her teeth.My cat does not mind C.E.T. cat toothbrush in her mouth. She doesn't gag like she did with other, larger, pet toothbrushes. The bristles are long enough to reach her teeth and gumline without forcing too much of the toothbrush handle into her mouth. The bristles are also gentler on her gums. With other pet toothbrushes, her gums would sometimes bleed - I assume because of the tougher bristles. I also like the toothbrush because its head is angled and makes for easier access to harder to reach places between her teeth and her gums than the standard pet toothbrush.The only negative I have about this toothbrush is that it loses it's shape too quickly. This MAY have more to do with my cat's treatment of the brush while in her mouth than the toothbrush itself. Kitty instinctively chews on the bristles whenever I brush her teeth. So after about 2 months of brushing her teeth every other day or so, the bristles are chewed down so much that they aren't very effective anymore. It would be nice if the brush lasted as long as the toothpaste it comes with, but with my cat, it doesn't.Currently, the C.E.T. cat toothbrush is not sold in multiples so you must buy the one toothbrush and the sample toothpaste that comes with it. Buying them this way can get expensive especially the way my cat goes through them. I've only found these brushes online, so shipping costs add to the price and shipping is often more than the cost of the brush itself!My alternative to this toothbrush is a similarly bristled round artist brush that I got at the craft store for $.75. The texture of the (nylon) bristles on the art brush is very similar to the C.E.T. cat toothbrush. It's actually a little softer but still with enough abrasive power to be effective. My cat accepts this artist brush very well. With the long handle of the art brush, I can reach her gums and her rear teeth even better than I could with the cat toothbrush. She actually seems more comfortable with the artist brush in her mouth - maybe because it is somewhat softer than the cat toothbrush. She will allow me to brush her teeth longer (more brushstrokes) without squirming or resisting.So, while the C.E.T. cat toothbrush is great, there are just as effective, comfortable (even more so) and less pricey alternatives out there.

My cat loves chewing on that. Easy using.

This is by far the best toothbrush for cats. It's small so comfortable to get in a cat's mouth. But, they are very expensive for what they are and I can't seem to find where the toothbrushes are sold alone. Also, they wear out very very fast. I will be on the lookout for an alternate.

Used first one I purchased for about three weeks on my cat and it broke. Used second one on my cat for only about two weeks and it broke. Never bit/or chewed on; rinsed off after every use. Cheap, but great while it lasts. However, potentially dangerous if breaks during use (sharp edges of plastic could lacerate and/or ingestion of pieces)

If I was able to use it, it would be the easiest and best toothbrushes to use. Because I have several other brushes here including finger brushes and a three sided brush. But I can not use any of them because my cat is not having it. However, I watched a YouTube video by a vet who was demonstrating this VERY SAME product and he.said to go extremely slow and step by step and just start with letting the cat sniff the tooth paste and then rub a tiny bit on his front teeth etc. In the video he never even used this brush at all(though you can see it still in the package). So I left the brush in a drawer and proceeded to follow the vets directions. He said something very encouraging in the video. He said if it gets in their mouth at all then the cats teeth will experience some benefit just from that.So it has been a week later with me advancing slowly morning and night and this morning RIo let me get a whole finger of tooth paste into his lower outside jaw line and get some toothpaste swiped in. yay! It's been definite progress.The problem with Rio has he had some angry red gums and I can't afford 400.00 for the vet cleaning. Not till I tried everything else anyway. I just had a bad experience with treating a cats ear. Vet treatments were not working (two 40 dollar bottles of medicine completely ineffective) so I googled an extract 9.99 home remedy (Pau D Arco) and that is doing wonders. Plus I had a bad vet experience before that where we spend 1000+ on a senior cat we found who didn't improve a tad and we had to put him down anyway.So what I did was get some Fish Cin and divided it for his weight and put it in tiny gel caps and I am having him on it for 10 days twice a day. And I am "brushing" his teeth with this toothpaste. And I put an additive in the water. And I am giving anti-gingivitis treats. And it has been only five days on the antibiotics and tooth paste and there is a definite improvement. Gums are turning pink. They definitely look better.I am very pleased. Now only time will tell if I have to have his teeth cleaned professionally anyway. If so I would definitely keep using this product,
