Answer 3

Yes they can. Cats and Dogs have acid in their siliva so it takes longer but when they get older their teeth get very black and plaqued. Brush your pets teeth and when you go to the vet or the groomers have their teeth cleaned.

Answer 4

Actually, tooth decay can lead to very serious illness and disease in pets.  They make special products for brushing cat's and dog's teeth available in pet stores and at the vet's office.  I brush my cat's teeth regularly and he actually loves it.  

Answer 5

yes, it's harder for them to get one then a human but when they're older they will!

a vet can do a dental on a pet which prevets cavitys just like at the dentist!

Answer 6

Cats get cavities, abscesses, periodontal disease - just like humans.  And like humans, they need dental cleanings to keep in good health.  The bacteria that periodontal disease puts into their bloodstream can cause heart and kidney disease - just like humans.   Their mouths can become sore and it makes it difficult to eat when they have cavities or abscessed teeth - just like humans.  A check of the teeth should be part of every cat's yearly vet checkup!
