It is a recent development in vet practice. Growing up (im in my 40s) our pets NEVER had their teeth cleaned (and we had many) and they were all fine. My grandparents never had any of their pets teeth cleaned and they all lived long and good lives.ChicagoGrrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158374211306308740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525281207762040983.post-37033230944802251862011-06-01T20:06:04.726-05:002011-06-01T20:06:04.726-05:00Adorable cat!

She just eats these special treats that are supposed to keep her mouth in good shape! <br /><br />Glad Oscar is feeling better. Also glad I found your blog!Jenna @ LaFemmeLaFanciful.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182011675744604149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525281207762040983.post-50494512301544022382011-06-01T13:14:42.025-05:002011-06-01T13:14:42.025-05:00No experience with kittehs, but I've had my do...No experience with kittehs, but I've had my dogs' teeth cleaned before. It's pretty common, and as long as your vet isn't pushing for it to be done more than once every few years, I doubt they are trying to screw you out of your money. (But a vet who lectures you is an asshole. I'd be finding another one.) Also, if he does have gum or teeth issues, it might be making him uncomfortable. Sore teeth suck. <br /><br />PS Cute girl!! :)Chunky Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899074262498050782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525281207762040983.post-53185487300006387242011-06-01T11:01:14.880-05:002011-06-01T11:01:14.880-05:00A little over a year ago I was told that my cat ne...A little over a year ago I was told that my cat needed a dental cleaning and that I should be brushing her teeth regularly.... Which I knew wouldn't go over well with my cat so I ignored them. Just a couple months ago my cat had to have one of her front canine teeth pulled (the giant one) because it broke and a couple others because they weren't in good shape. I don't have a ton of money to just throw at the vet for something like a teeth cleaning... But I also didn't have the several hundred dollars it cost to have her teeth pulled either. Personally I might get a second opinion and if they say it needs to be done and the other place isn't just trying to get money, I would do it and save yourself the cost later.Beckalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749378306514335762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525281207762040983.post-50421354066046912052011-06-01T10:59:28.232-05:002011-06-01T10:59:28.232-05:00What do they need teeth for, anyway?
