Does anyone brush their cat's teeth once a week or less? Does it seem to help?
All the internet recommendations are to do it three times a week at least (if you're gonna do it), and for various reasons, I don't think that's for us. (I've tried before, when Juno was a kitten, even working up to it slowly, but decided it was not the battle I was going to pick, with everything else going, e.g., ear drops, oral meds). One vet even told me early on that if you're not going to do it multiple times a weeks, it's not really going to help much.
If the choice is between doing it never or every so often, does anyone think it's worth it? Granted, I have no cat experience before Juno, but I can't see doing it more than once a week without hurting our bond (like brushing, which she also hates).
