Pets with a healthy mouth smell better, live longer and have happier lives - it's as simple as that. Without regular dental care, nearly all pets reaching middle age have tartar accumulation, infected gums and bad breath. They don't enjoy eating and playing as much as they should because their teeth hurt. Even minimal home dental care will help make your pet's mouth feel good and smell good.

- good to chew -

   Any sort of a chew treat is useful, assuming that it lasts long enough to require some serious chewing. C.E.T. chews contain enzymes to retard plaque formation and are far more useful than regular rawhide treats.
   C.E.T. Forte Chews for cats contain abrasives to clean the teeth and enzymes to kill the bacteria that turn into plaque. The chews are made from freeze-dried fish or chicken and look like little short Tootsie Rolls. As cats sink their teeth into these little rolls, abrasives rub on the sides of the teeth  and antibacterial enzymes are pushed under the gum line where they will do the most good. They come in fish or poultry flavor, and because it's impossible to brush most cat's teeth, we recommend C.E.T. Forte Chews as the best choice for most cats.

- better to rinse -

   “Better to rinse” includes alternative ways for getting chorhexidine into the mouth. A daily chlorhexidine rinse is an excellent way to do this. You can also use chlorhexidine gel, which coats the teeth and gums for a longer time, or sticky chlorhexidine patches that last even longer.

- best to brush -

   Brushing, of course is the best choice. You will need toothpaste that doesn’t get frothy and is intended to be swallowed. C.E.T. makes five different flavors of pet toothpaste and a wide variety of toothbrushes. With time and patience, most pets will allow their teeth to be brushed.

- newer and better -

   The new C.E.T. Hextra chews contain chlorhexidine, which kills the bacteria that cause gum infection, combining the cleaning action of a chew treat with the antibacterial action of chlorhexidine. Hextra chews are the best choice for dogs who won’t sit still for brushing or rinsing.
