HELP!!! Evita has the absolutely worst kitty breath ever!

I mean she can't even sneak up on me because I smell that kitty breath and it's not cute kitty breath anymore.

Any recommendations on how to freshen up her breath is greatly recommended

1. I give mine tartar-control crunchies

and it seems to help a lot - but if the problem persists, it may be time for Evita to meet the kitty dentist. If she has any infected teeth, that may affect her overall health.

Caesar's had all his teeth taken out except for his fangs, and he's a much happier guy. Plus he smells a great deal better. He eats more too, because he's not in pain.

Good luck! :hi:

2. I've tried Kitty Breath Mints of various times - she wouldn't touch them

I guess I'm gonna have to go to the Kitty Dentist

4. Try Friskies Indoor Cat Treats

with tartar control. Made with real chicken, grains and garden greens. The hordes love that stuff and will actually behave to get some.

3. Take her to the vet.

Seriously bad breath like that is an indication of an infection in the mouth.

5. Seconded.

And in the event that she's given a clean bill of health, have the vet clean her teeth.

6. What ChinaCat said- get her to the vet.

That's not normal "bad breath". If you can smell it
at a distance, she's got a medical problem.

7. Listerine in her water bowl.

She'll get used to it in a year or so.
