Thank you for all the info on plaqueoff, I will be buying it today! I do feel compelled to tell you what I have done extensive reading on it diets. Dry food is the worst thing you could feed a cat. Dry food will literally dehydrate a cat. Raw food it the best because it contains the the moisture your cat needs. Their natural diet is something like 80%water. If raw is something that you dont want to feed dehydrated raw is another option. If raw not raw than strictly canned is ok. You can actually add alittle water to canned to make it more hydrating. I read that the worst canned food is better than the best dry food. I have spent hours and hours reading about this and I am really pleased with the change it has made it my cat as well as my moms. My cat had very bad gas and also when he would defecate the smell was horrific. Since the diet change gas is gone and his stool had no smell at all! My mother has a very overweight cat and since the raw diet she has lost weight but more importantly she is so much more active. She used to sleep constantly and now she and her sister explore and play, the change in behavior is amazing! Just wanted to share and thanks again for all the info on Plaqueoff!

Are there any other dental vets you could go to, even if they are 30-60 minutes away, who do x-rays? When I wrote this review in early 2013 I had been giving PlaqueOff to Lily for almost four months. Two years later Lily has improved so much that her stomatitis seems to be completely controlled and I was able to wean her from the steroid cream she had been on. This product has been truly amazing for her, and I think it may be just as helpful to other cats suffering from the symptoms of stomatitis. To be honest, I am not sure if cats will eat this over dry food. My thinking is that the powder will fall to the bottom of the bowl and not get eaten. Therefore, I give this to Lily by mixing it with a small amount of wet food that has been diluted with water. Are There Any Side Effects Of PlaqueOff?

Tomorrow we go to have cold laser therapy for her gums and she is getting some chinese herbs to calm the inflammation. I am also happy to report that Lily is as healthy as she has probably ever been because of the PlaqueOff. As of this writing Lily has been on PlaqueOff for six months. The swelling and redness is almost completely gone. She is now playing with toys by catching them in her mouth, and has caught three lizards this past week alone, which tells me that her mouth feels much better. ProDen PlaqueOff helps both cats and dogs oral hygiene including bad breath, plaque and tartar.ProDen PlaqueOff works with the animal's body helping existing tartar and preventing new build up of dental plaque and tartar.ProDen PlaqueOff is evidence based, including clinical trials as well being VOHC Accepted. I would love to talk with you, just some support would be appreciated. I try to stay calm around her- because as you well know, cats are very intuitive. Gingivitis often progresses to periodontal disease, which leads to further inflammation, pain, and tooth loss (see handout "Dental Disease in Cats" for further information). As tartar builds up along the gum line, it pushes the gums away from the roots of the teeth. As the gums recede, they expose the sensitive, enamel-free part of the tooth which causes sensitivity and pain. "Gingivitis often progresses to periodontal disease, which leads to further inflammation, pain, and tooth loss."

The Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) only accepts dental products that are safe and proven to reduce the accumulation of plaque and tartar based on strict scientific studies. Using a VOHC-accepted water additive to reduce the bacterial count in the mouth, resulting in improved breath. Greta’s mom (farm cat) has lived to a ripe old age (at least 10yrs) I recently looked in her moms mouth and saw that her teeth have rotted out and there are few left, guessing it is hereditary. You’ve asked if I had to do things over if I would give PlaqueOff first before resorting to having Lily’s teeth pulled. That is something I’ve wondered myself, but the honest answer is that I didn’t know about PlaqueOff until after Lily’s teeth were pulled, so I don’t know. But, I very much wonder if the PlaqueOff, as well as the Lysine, would have been enough for Lily to keep her teeth. I do not yet know the answer to this. I give Lily one scoop per day, and I started giving it to her almost four months ago. The container says that it should last for about six months, but I have quite a bit left. My guess is that one container will last us between nine months and one year.It should come as no surprise for you to learn that I wholeheartedly recommend PlaqueOff Cat. This product has made a life-changing difference for my cat Lily. I can see that she feels better because she is playful again, and she almost never drools now that she is taking this supplement. After your cat's teeth have been professionally cleaned and polished by your veterinarian under general anesthesia, home dental care is needed to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup. You can decrease plaque accumulation by undertaking the following: And Tailspin’s owners went into business because his dogs have alergies and it was hard getting products for them. So even though Petsmart is across the street from Tailspin, I choose Tailspin because they get it~~ and use holistic products and such geared to pets with issues. As for your question about whether or not stomatitis is contagious, I’m afraid I can’t give you a definitive answer. It really depends on who you talk to. The woman who I adopted Lily from (she is a foster mom who has cared for hundreds of cats, some of which had stomatitis) is convinced that it is. If I remember correctly, she thinks that it is contagious when the stomatitis is active, meaning that a cat is drooling and/or bleeding from the disease. Lily’s stomatitis is controlled, and she hasn’t drooled or bled since early 2013.

Having your veterinarian perform a dental cleaning under general anesthesia every 6-12 months at the first sign of tartar buildup. Regular dental cleaning is as important in cats as in people, and will go a long way to prevent irreversible damage to the gums and roots. What format are Flame’s antibiotics, and how does your husband have to administer them? If they are liquid, I would try mixing it with wet food. That can be dicey, though, if your cat doesn’t eat it and then the dose is wasted. Or, suggest to your husband that you give it orally (squirt it in the mouth), then reward Flame with a kitty treat of some type. Do this consistently so he learns that he will be rewarded for taking his medicine. This is what I do with Lily. Each morning and night I have to rub steroid cream in her ear, then I reward her with a small amount of watered-down wet food that also has the Lysine and PlaqueOff in it.I am SO sorry for the delay in approving your comments and responding to them. School got out just before you wrote and I have been busy with my children since then for the summer, which is the reason for my delay. Went through her spay and anesthesia very well (was worried because one of her litter mates became ill after anesthesia procedure and had to be euthanized) This is very easy. The container comes with a measuring spoon. All you need to do is sprinkle a spoonful of the powder onto either wet or dry food so your cat will ingest the powder with her food.
