FAQs

How often should I give my cat these dental snacks?

These dental snacks are designed for daily administration to adult cats to achieve the best dental benefits. One treat per day is recommended.

Are these treats suitable for kittens?

No, PURINA Dentalife Cat Dental Snacks are formulated for adult cats. Kittens have different nutritional needs, and their dental structures are still developing. Please consult your veterinarian for appropriate kitten dental care options.

What are the main ingredients?

The main ingredients include Meat and Animal Derivatives (20% Dehydrated Poultry Protein of which 4% from Chicken), Cereals, Vegetable Protein Extracts, Oils and Fats, Derivatives of Vegetable Origin, Minerals, Fish and Fish Derivatives, Glycerol, Yeasts, and Various Sugars. See the full ingredient list for complete details.

Can these treats replace regular teeth brushing?

While these treats are scientifically proven to help reduce tartar buildup and support oral health, they are intended as a supplement to, not a replacement for, professional dental care and veterinarian-recommended oral hygiene practices like brushing, if feasible for your cat.

What is the calorie content per treat?

The exact calorie content per treat is not specified in the product information, but it should be considered as part of your cat's total daily caloric intake. Monitor your cat's weight and adjust their main food portions if necessary.

Do these treats contain any artificial colors?

No, PURINA Dentalife Cat Dental Snacks are made with no added colorants.

What makes the texture 'porous and crunchy' effective?

The porous and crunchy texture is scientifically designed to surround all sides of the cat's teeth. As the cat chews, this texture creates an effective, gentle abrasive action that helps to scrape away plaque and tartar, even from hard-to-reach areas.

Troubleshooting

Cat refusing to eat the treat

Ensure the cat is an adult and try offering the treat at a different time of day. Some cats may need a few days to adjust to a new taste or texture. Offer it after play or as part of a meal.

No noticeable improvement in dental health

Ensure the treat is being given daily as recommended. Dental health is multifactorial; consider also providing a balanced diet and regular veterinary check-ups. Effectiveness can vary between individuals.

Packaging is difficult to reseal

If the original resealable closure is damaged, transfer the remaining treats to an airtight container or use a sturdy clip to ensure freshness.
