[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do cats need their teeth cleaned? All my 3 passed away cats lived to 17-18 years without cleaning. It is not like they eat candy then need to get on national TV to show their pearly whites.[/quote] +1 mine are both over 15 and the vet has been recommending cleaning for over 10 years. It's a HUGE profit center for them, but the risks far outweigh the benefits. [/quote] Had one cat get its teeth cleaned, (feel for the old vet telling me it was essential), got a call it had a fever, had to stay at the vet for observation, on antibiotics, almost died. After that experience I have never had another of my animals teeth cleaned - my animals have lived long and happy lives without it (18, 16, 15 years). None of the animals I grew up with ever had it done and they also lived long lives. I think having an animal put under for a procedure is much worse for it than the plaque build up. [/quote]
