At Bell & Bone, we’ve always focused on keeping pets healthy, starting with dog dental care. Now, we’re excited to expand our commitment to include cats. Dental health is just as crucial for felines, yet it’s often overlooked. In this article, we’ll dive into why early dental care is vital for your cat, the risks of neglect, and how our Bell & Bone Cat Dental Bites, now vet-recommended across Australia, offer a simple solution for healthier teeth.

Why Cat Dental Health Matters

Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in cats, with up to 70% developing issues before age 3. It starts with plaque and tartar build-up, which can lead to painful conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis, and even tooth loss. Left untreated, dental disease can also trigger infections that spread throughout the bloodstream and major organs, causing long-term harm.

The Risks of Ignoring Cat Dental Care

Cats are experts at hiding discomfort, so symptoms like bad breath, drooling, or trouble eating might be missed until the damage is done. Without proper care, dental disease can lead to:

  • Chronic pain
  • Loss of appetite and weight loss
  • Serious infections affecting the heart and kidneys
  • Tooth loss and costly vet treatments

Addressing dental health early is crucial to avoiding these serious issues and ensuring your cat lives a long, healthy and comfortable life. Learn more about the signs of cat dental disease here.
