My cat's breath smells horrible....?

Question

My kitten has the worst breath I've ever seen on a cat. He's always laying next to my face at night and I can always smell it.

What can I do for him?

Answer 1

try chicken necks. It cleans teeth. Also you can get special dry food which designed for oral care.

Answer 2

My sister-in-law is a vet tech and we asked this question this weekend. She says it could be plaque build-up on the teeth so a cleaning would help or you could brush their teeth yourself (teeth brushing can add years to your cat's life by the way).

Greenies also help with dental health.

Answer 3

using perfume soap!!!

Answer 4

Cats need dental care too.

Answer 5

Cats that have tatar(Calculus) build up end up having bad gingivitis.  His gums are probably very tender and certainly red.. You need to invest in some pet toothpaste and brush.  Also, Vet prescribed pet foods, such as Science Diet and Purina have food formulated to remove plaque and the hard buildup deposits.  Feeding dry food more often than wet has been proven to reduce build up.

Answer 6

Have him checked by your vet for dental or digestive problems.

Good Luck!

Answer 7

Thats normal and you shouldn't do anything about it.

animals in the wild dont brush their teeth, so dont buy your kitten a toothpaste.

I suggest that you dont let him sleep with you. Be with him most of the time except when you sleep :)

Answer 8

pet supply stores, sell cat toothpaste. They also come with this rubber thing that slips on your finger so you can run it along his teeth with the toothpaste on it. Try that.

Also do you feed him table food ever? I used to feed my dog table scraps and it gave him rancid breath. Make sure the garbage is closed off too. umm.....some cats like to ....consume....their own p**p. (to be quite honest) make sure you clean out the littler box right away, just in case. Hope this helps

Answer 9

firstly give him dry food (kibble) in the evening and wet food in the morning  because wet food smells and there are these felix treats that act like toothpaste called Dentapaw

hope i helped
