I have the best teeth. Next time you are at The Drake Center, feel free to take a look. On second thought, maybe you’d better just take my word for it.

The main reason for my amazing dental hygiene is that every day, one of my servants get the honor of brushing my teeth.

The doctors at The Drake Center say that daily brushing is the most important thing you can do to keep your cat’s mouth healthy. I have had my teeth brushed every day for years and it shows. As you can see, my smile is just one of my many breathtaking physical qualities.

When it’s time to have my teeth brushed, I like to protest and act like I am going to bite, but I never do. In fact, I kind of like it.

The servants use a small angled brush and a bit of special toothpaste to polish my pearly whites. Pet toothpaste comes in all kinds of flavors, but seafood is my favorite. Can you think of anything more appetizing than seafood toothpaste? Me neither.

If you haven’t tried brushing your cat’s (or dog’s) teeth, National Pet Dental Health Month is the perfect time to start! If I like it, chances are they will too.
