Is this the one thats chlorhexidine gluconate?

I wouldn't fancy my cats having that. It's what they put in corsodyl. I assume it could upset the natural flora in the gut?

I posted about this before - didnt like the ingredients, particularly it includes xylitol, which is known to be toxic to most animals, (especially dogs apparently) - can cause excess insulin. I wouldnt touch it with a bargepole!

Not heard of that but it sounds a good idea, although when Schui used to have constant plaque and as well as logic gel my vet gave me some pink liquid which can be put in water (or as my vet used to tell me to clean plaque off his teeth daily with a cotton bud with it) thankfully he had all teeth removed in the end but his was severe.

Please consider the harder to home cats in rescue.

Popped in the vets on Fri, and they had a new product on the counter - it is called Vet Aquadent and is a product you put in pets water bowls to help plaque forming. Not particularly cheap, £6.66 for a 250ml bottle, but thought I would give it a go, as they all hate Logic Gel. They are happily drinking it, I just need to try it in Kizzy's water bowl now. IT is a green liquid, but doesn't smell. IT does seem to have only been out a couple of weeks.
