Good afternoon fellow cat lovers
Recently, I brought my beloved cat Buddy to his annual vet visit and he had a very good clean bill of health except for some dental needs. per the vet, he is starting to develop redness and tartar and she recommended Hills' Prescription Dental Care food to blend with current food or "Intellident." Buddy dislikes both and also dislikes Greenie's dental treats or any chew toys. I have seen him starting to drop food and I suspect these treats are too thick and he is having issues munching on them.
Can anyone recommend any dental care products? I am thinking of sprinkling one of these products into his food...mind you that he only eats dry food:

https://www.chewy.com/vetriscience-perio-support-powder/dp/42648
https://www.chewy.com/tartar-shield-sprinkles-human-grade/dp/918750
I was also advised to maybe pour dental liquid in his water, but he is really unpredictable how much water he drinks and so I am afraid I would have the ratio of water to dental liquid incorrect. I am unable to do anything with teeth brushing and it seems like getting dental liquid or toothpaste into his mouth would be very difficult.
Open to any help and advice! Thank you!
With Gratitude,
Mary
