Hi kitty lovers!
How important exactly is the dental care of cats? I have an 18 month old cat and my vet claims that she is already developing gingivitis and to give her some raw kangaroo on top of the Greenies I give her. I got her vaccinated in Feb and they have mailed/emailed/called about bringing her in to get her teeth looked at.
I know not all cats are the same but the culture I was raised in was pretty much that if a cat was eating, sleeping and sh*tting, then everything's all good.
But I'm not like that and want to keep my baby as healthy as possible. I'm happy to bring her in for an $80 consultation but I'm worried about if she needs to get professional teeth cleaning and I don't even know how much that costs in Australia.
Anyone else been through something like this? Or can anyone with knowledge regarding this, I would love to hear from you. Thank you!
