Having your veterinarian perform a dental cleaning under general anesthesia every 6-12 months at the first sign of tartar buildup. Regular dental cleaning is as important in cats as in people, and will go a long way to prevent irreversible damage to the gums and roots. As for the dental x-rays, I wouldn’t trust having cat teeth pulled without them. I didn’t know how important that was until two years ago. Our cat Sasha had one tooth pulled by our previous vet, and I later found out that he doesn’t use an x-ray to make sure there are no tooth fragments left in the gums. The way I found out was because she was having health problems and our current vet did an x-ray and found several tooth fragments had been left. I saw what this did to her. Never again will I have any of our cats get tooth extractions without the after surgery x-rays.
Dental care is unfortunately one of the most overlooked health issues pet owners are concerned with. Immediately I knew I would not be returning to that vet. The second vet we went to was fine, although had no understanding of what to do, she basically said, try some lyseine. That was it. Soon after we went to that vet, Ruby developed a condition on her ears, and I was begging for a culture of it. That vet insisted it was allergies- so she kept her on the steroid. This went on for 4 months every time we tried to wean her off the steroid the ears flared up. Finally she said “I’m not sure what to do, you can take her to the dermatology vet or the holistic vet”.How is Ruby doing now that she has been on PlaqueOff for a few months? It was miraculous for Lily. A few weeks ago she actually started giving us kisses, something she never did before because using her tongue in any way was painful to her. If your cat’s teeth are already bad then I don’t think the Lysine and PlaqueOff will help. The PlaqueOff is meant to keep clean teeth from getting bad plaque on them and I wouldn’t trust that it would work on teeth that are already covered in plaque. My Angelina won’t eat her food with Plaque Off in it. Is it okay to just open her mouth and just give her the small amount directly in her mouth ? I did it once and it was no problem. If Plaque Off goes directly into the blood stream what does it matter how it gets there? I can’t find anywhere where this is the way to go. Is it okay to do this? If you try the Lysine and PlaqueOff, be aware that they will not provide immediate results, especially if your cat is badly affected by stomatitis. It took a good month before Lily showed any signs of improvement with the PlaqueOff, and another month before she really improved. Designed for cats, but can be given to fussy dogs.Not recommended for animals being treated for hyperthyroidism.
The Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) only accepts dental products that are safe and proven to reduce the accumulation of plaque and tartar based on strict scientific studies. I also have a cat Lilly who has stomotitis. One thing our vet told us is to be sure to wear a plastic glove when putting the prednizone on or it can obsorb into your skin. I am just starting her on lysine and her brother too. I will get PlaqueOff as well. Thanks Thank you for all the info on plaqueoff, I will be buying it today! I do feel compelled to tell you what I have done extensive reading on it diets. Dry food is the worst thing you could feed a cat. Dry food will literally dehydrate a cat. Raw food it the best because it contains the the moisture your cat needs. Their natural diet is something like 80%water. If raw is something that you dont want to feed dehydrated raw is another option. If raw not raw than strictly canned is ok. You can actually add alittle water to canned to make it more hydrating. I read that the worst canned food is better than the best dry food. I have spent hours and hours reading about this and I am really pleased with the change it has made it my cat as well as my moms. My cat had very bad gas and also when he would defecate the smell was horrific. Since the diet change gas is gone and his stool had no smell at all! My mother has a very overweight cat and since the raw diet she has lost weight but more importantly she is so much more active. She used to sleep constantly and now she and her sister explore and play, the change in behavior is amazing! Just wanted to share and thanks again for all the info on Plaqueoff! After your cat's teeth have been professionally cleaned and polished by your veterinarian under general anesthesia, home dental care is needed to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup. You can decrease plaque accumulation by undertaking the following: Thank you for your video and pictures Rochelle. My cat has stomatitis and they want to remove all her teeth. She’s had some out already and now they want to take the rest at a great cost! So before I go that route I am going to try what you did with Lily and hopefully it will work. Thank you!
Dental Bites
Looking for a convenient way to access your pet’s health records, refill prescriptions, view upcoming appointments and more? Set up your myVCA account today. Are there any other dental vets you could go to, even if they are 30-60 minutes away, who do x-rays? If he is an indoor only cat, don’t be afraid to have Aquiles’ teeth removed. I now have two cats without their teeth and they do not know they are missing them. They still eat grass, eat dry food and bite at me and each other while playing. Ting Tu purrs a lot more since having his teeth removed. I was reluctant at first, too, but the difference in Ting Tu’s joy of life was incredible. I had no idea he had been in so much pain. One of our cats is currently dealing with tooth resorption so we know first hand how difficult that can be for a cat. But perhaps the good news is that your cat doesn’t have stomatitis. Hopefully your kitty will be okay now that his teeth have been removed. And Tailspin’s owners went into business because his dogs have alergies and it was hard getting products for them. So even though Petsmart is across the street from Tailspin, I choose Tailspin because they get it~~ and use holistic products and such geared to pets with issues.
her body did not know how to produce the proper corticosteroids without flaring up. Finally as of Feb 2013, she is off.

ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder is a 100% natural pet food supplement containing the natural and organic kelp ingredient A.N ProDen™ – shown in clinical trials to help reduce plaque and tartar and to help improve bad breath. The results are usually seen between 3 to 8 weeks, with continued use. Sprinkle the powder over the dog’s ordinary food, wet or dry, once a day with the supplied scoop. For a 10kg dog, a 60g bottle lasts roughly 6 months. Yes, you absolutely can use PlaqueOff on cats without teeth. My cat Lily had all her teeth removed, including the canines, and that wasn’t enough. Her stomatitis improved slightly, but she was still in pain, drooling blood, and was on Buprenex. This is wonderful to hear!!! I’m so glad you updated us on Tuxedo. Please update us in the future, too, about how he does on the steroid injections. This is very easy. The container comes with a measuring spoon. All you need to do is sprinkle a spoonful of the powder onto either wet or dry food so your cat will ingest the powder with her food. Lily had her teeth removed in May of 2012, and I started giving her PlaqueOff in February of 2013. I had bought a new batch of Buprenex right before starting the PlaqueOff, and I still have it in my cupboard. The last time I gave her Buprenex was right at the beginning of giving her PlaqueOff, before the PlaqueOff had worked its magic (it takes up to 8 weeks for PlaqueOff to make a difference).
