Do these contain enzymes? I'm not convinced that chewing action alone cleans the teeth - or all cats eating kibble would have clean teeth.

There is a long list of ingredients, but I don't see enzymes. Neverthreless, both my cats absolutely love them ....much better than their regular boring kibble. I'd say, give them a greet, and brush or wipe their teeth.

I have not noticed any cleaner teeth, but the ingredient list is not terrible and my cats prefer crunchy treats over soft ones.

According to what I've read, they do contain enzymes but not sure of the amounts. If in doubt, you might want to check with a Vet to be sure.

Hi Suz. Feline GREENIES® dental treats are specifically formulated to mechanically, not enzymatically, remove the plaque and tartar accumulation on your cat's teeth. It serves as a highly palatable treat, provides vitamins, trace minerals and is a good source of nutrition. Reduction of plaque and tartar results in a reduction in gingivitis or inflammation of the gums and will also provide breath freshening.

Definitely perfectly fine for cats. My kittens, as others have said, love this treat. I don't break it into smaller pieces though as our vet said kitties' canine teeth are specifically used for ripping/shredding prey and it's good for them to do. One gets "growly" while eating, meaning he growls in low tones indicating it's HIS prey and he loves it which makes me very happy. Oftentimes he'll bat it around before devouring.

The one with the enzymatic tartar control works better on their teeth. This is the only brand I use for both my dog & my cats. You will be happy with the overall results & they love the flavor too!

To: Doctor "K",I will look right now, so hold on. My cats are all so nutty, it is hard to tell if they are having that special "feeling" from one of their catnip toys. I ordered these because they have the rattles in them and when I throw them, I shake them first and they love that noise. Then it is like a herd of buffalo running for them. My veterinarian came to my home and told me that hands down, she has never ever seen so many cat toys. LOL From what I can see on the box and also read on the individual tag attached to each little mouse, there is no catnip in/on them. To: Doctor "K",I will look right now, so hold on.

I did a lot of research on Leba3 after my vet highly recommended the product for my Maltese, after his 2nd surgical teeth cleaning. My understanding is it works the same for cats as it does for dogs. I also changed his food to Royal Canin Dental formula. They also have a formula for cats. I've only been using these products for a few months now, so the verdict isn't in yet on how effective these products are for him. I can only advise that you do as much research as you can before you make your decision.

Sorry I don't have a cat any longer. I have two dogs and it appears to be working in fact i need another bottle and do plan on ordering it again. Some time these things take a little while to see results but I think it is better than putting them out to clean their teeth.

Dear Cat Lady, I wasn't even thinking about the salt content in the Bonito flakes to be honest with you. I give them sparingly in the morning along with some crunchy dental treats. I was told at the pet food store the first time I bought them that it is only dried fish and that was it, Unfortunately since all the packaging is in Chinese who knows, I've learned to use them in sauces, soups and chowders all the time and I don't detect any salt when I'm eating. Hope that helps. Be well... Constance Orcutt

Hi-- I've been using this for years, and I think it works much better as a preventative than as a "cure," which sounds like what you are looking for. If your cat has dental problems, then a veterinary cleaning is probably necessary. If there is infection involved, then the vet should be involved.

My cats have tried the chews, the kibble and the paste. They wouldn't eat the chews and it was a struggle to get them to accept the paste. (If I put the paste in their food they would eat it) However they all eat the kibble without any problem. I guess it's a personal kitty preference. My cats are all 10 and 12 years old so maybe a kitten will prefer something else. I will say that the product keeps my cat with the worst problem stable and feeling fine and her eyes clear up. You might want to try an eye cream to help with her eyes. I also use a medicated eye cream for the cat that have the weeping problem. I hope this helps. Cat Lover.....

I don't know about cats but I wanted to tell you that this product did nothing for my dog. Her teeth are still bad and her breath too. She is too old to have her teeth cleaned.

Yes it is "Enzymatic". The attached www will give you all the ingredients. If you require additional "specifics", you may have to contact the manufacture. The product works, only if you use it. I DE-plaque my cats mouth twice per day, also use the dental additive in her water fountain and also the dental wipes. We use a small child's SOFT brush and store it in a toothbrush sanitizer after each use. We also change her bush monthly, due to her wanting to chew the brush. Hope this helps you. http://www.1800petmeds.com/product.jsp?id=prod10593&sku=11054?AFFID=MS&ID=1082123976&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=bingads&utm_content=bing_plas

Look at the ingredients. Some things like cloves are not recommended for use with cats. This might have cloves.

Yes. Our senior cats are picky. I can't do it every day, but I can get the teeth fairly well at least once a week. It smells more minty than doggie treat, so the smell for cats is a bit easier since they like cat nip.

I would guess that whatever the additional ingredient(s) is(are) is not palatable to your cats. They have discriminating palates and won't eat what doesn't taste or smell good to them. Plus, cats are quirky. One cat will eat these anywhere, the other will not eat them if I am in the chair in which I feed her treats, as she knows that this is not her usual "green cat treat". If, however, I give her the lyine treat where she naps, she eats it with relish! Works every time! Try a different location with the lysine, perhaps that will work.

No. They are in a bag of a small amount of cat nip and have been "soaking" in it. My cats huff them and enjoy them.

I think the cats are more likely to eat the dead rats and mice and there haven't been many stray or Ferrel cats around since I have been using it. There are also no rats or mice. I have two dogs and they do not eat rodents so it has not been a problem for them.
