Friskies Dental Cat Food
It was to everyone’s surprise that Friskies Dental cat food was discontinued. Many cat pet owners felt lose because it was a cat diet that every veterinarian suggested. Not only that, the reviews from customers were also great and it has five stars in Amazon. There was even a blogger who raised a petition to put back the product on market.
Not sure that it went well, though, considering that we still cannot find the product on pet store shelves today. This was contradicting Friskies’ statement that they discontinued the product due to low sale. Not sure which one is to trust here since everything was so unclear.
If you are a new cat pet owner, you may wonder what this Friskies Dental diet cat food all about people mentioning. Well, Friskies dental food product is a cat food which put more concern on cat’s teeth’s health. Just like human, cats can have problems caused by food on their teeth too. There are tartar and plague formed which mostly occur to 2-year-old cats. Plague is a sticky residue of food and tartar is described as “the beginning of periodontal disease which deposited on teeth and gums near gum line.”
This periodontal condition, however, is genetic and not all cats have the same problem. Therefore, Friskies introduced a product which was friendly to cats with dental problem. Frieskies dental cat food claimed to be able to reduce plague and tartar up to 25%. It works through the abrasion process between dry cat food and the teeth’s surface. The cat food was created to replicate that of wildcat food when wild cats would rub their teeth and gums to the mashed bones of their prey.
Cats which consume normal cat food will need to be taken to vet once in a while to clean up their teeth. The main idea of Friskies dental cat food was to eliminate or reduce the need to take your cat for periodical dental cleaning.
