Thread: Toothpaste that is safe for cats? Is Triple-Pet EZ Dog Pet Toothpaste safe?

I wanted a toothpaste that is natural and safe for my cat who is about 11-month old. So then I bought a while back Triple-Pet EZ Dog Pet Toothpaste because in Petco website and in the back of the box of Triple-Pet EZ Dog Pet Toothpaste said that it is Ideal for both dogs & cats. But lately I was reading into some of the ingredients and I found the last ingredient was Tea Tree Oil. I put that in yahoo search and I found alot of websites saying that Tea Tree Oil is toxic for cats. I was then looking for another toothpaste for cats only and found it also had Tea Tree Oil. Is Tea Tree Oil found in cats toothpaste safe for them?
Also here is the ingredients of Triple-Pet EZ Dog Pet Toothpaste
Purified Water, sorbitol, hydrated silica, glycerin, kaolin, tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, Flavor, xanthan gum, stevia, tea tree oil.

Our vet recommended Bucogel - it's for cats and dogs - as the 2 boys had a slight redness of their gums. I've been using it every day for 6 days and it's extremely good ... their gums are back to normal now. We live in France, so I don't know if you can get it where you are?

I know from experience that Tea Tree Oil is not good for dogs! My poor Shiba Inu had a skin allergy I put the Tea Tree Oil on the infected area....then went out for a few hours. When I returned home my poor boy couldn't walk!!! I rinsed the spot several times all night long. So if it did that to a 23lb dog I would not put it in my cat's mouth.

I would recommend going to your vet. I assume you are in the US. C.E.T Enzymatic Toothpaste is a brand found at most vet locations. It comes in chicken flavor and I think one other flavor.

My Vet recommends to just taking a piece of gauze, put it around your finger and wipe the cat's tooth....
