Great video of how to check the state of my two cats teeth, something that could save invasive and expensive dental treatment by dealing with any teeth or dental problems at an early stage. Thank you... See more

Excellent idea

This cat toothbrush idea is great.
I bought two starter sets, one for my own 15 year old cat Preta, whose teeth aren't great and who had 4 extractions already, another set is for the newly adopted 1 year old Ceasar who lives with my son and his girlfriend, Ceasar has good teeth as he is still young.
I've wrestled with brushing Preta's teeth for a while, every time she sees a vet we're reminded about it, I've been using a baby sized human brush with enzyme toothpaste, but she wouldn't open her mouth properly, claws me even being fully swaddled, and sometimes when I get into her mouth, I cannot be precise so worry I might hurt her, it is a stressful time for both of us, and I feel like a bad owner not looking after her teeth properly.
Since buying her this brush, she has been playing with it like a nut case, she bites it, she rubs her face on it, it is extraordinary. I worried she might not be too interested given her age. But she is up for playing with this brush, I think it might be to do with catnip.
My son tried the brush with their cat Ceasar and they are very pleased with it too. He is young and very playful anyway, so this is just another game to keep him entertained.
In my opinion this brush is a brilliant idea and I am very very pleased with it.

Nice introduction for Bob to get used…

Nice introduction for Bob to get used to getting his teeth cleaned.
Good idea but at mo Bob is having more fun with the fishing line.
He lives the paste, but is not yet having a chew.
The items in the kit are a good idea. The price was OK as well.

What an absolutely fantastic idea

What a fantastic idea, inventor cat are an amazing efficient and professional business.
We ordered two starter packs from them and unfortunately one was damaged in the post and without hesitation they replaced it.
We have struggled with our cats teeth for years so thought it was worth a shot, especially with the cost of dentals at the vet’s and also having to give them a full anaesthetic to do the procedure.
We after the first couple of days using them the cats absolutely love it and are sitting waiting while we’re putting the toothpaste in.

Not great

My cat didn't take to the plastic chewy thing with paste in and the fluff came off quickly and got stuck in his mouth.

My cat loves this product so much that she goes into her toy box everyday to grab this!

My cat LOVES this product. From the moment we put both attachments on the wand she was so excited to play. She goes nuts for the worm-like attachment toy in our play sessions and we use this every day. All her favourite wand attachments do get shredded so we immediately bulk bought more and was shocked at the low price of this.

We play with her several times a day and she just never gets enough!

It didn’t take long before she started using the dental attachment. With cats being naturally inquisitive she just started with a few bites and quite happily chews on it now. It can be difficult to clean but well worth the buy & effort as is a great product.

I find it can be quite difficult to find cat products with cats in mind, as annoyingly they all seem to be targeted at humans! The owners of this product clearly have done their research. We love the fact the cats have full control to be biting themselves as obviously teeth cleaning in the wild wouldn’t be done with a toothbrush! My cat loves getting to bite the dental attachment and would spend hours chasing the worm if we let her.

Good experience with this product

Good experience with this product - had an issue with the first one sent and the company quickly sent a replacement and extra catnip which was massively appreciated!
My cat is so-so on the toothpaste but loves it with some lick-e-lix mixed in

Fast service but my cats not bothered

Fast service. However my cat is not at all interested. It was too spiky for her, she pawed it first, cut through the line before sniffing the toothbrush and now just looks and walks away from it.

Thanks for your feedback! We do offer a money back guarantee for cases were it doesn't work out with your cat - just email meow@inventorcat.co.uk and we can help you get that sorted.

We'd of course encourage you to try a few things, sometimes with older cat's it may take a bit of time to incorporate this into her routine. Here's some tips if you'd like to try it.

(check out the manual for further reference: inventorcat.co.uk/manual)

In "Part 1" when using the Dental Wand, using a treat like Lic-e-lix can help the introduction of the toothpaste. We'd recommend just filling the Dental Wand with the treat first and then start to gradually introduce more and more toothpaste each time.

Also when you hold onto the Dental Wand, point the tip of it towards the cat's mouth. This replicates how cat's would digest prey in the wild. Try to avoid squeezing the contents for them, we see cats begin to lick it and then bite it to get more of the contents inside. This will create positive associations with the Dental Wand which will then be reinforced and boosted during Part 2 - the interactive play.

Once your cat starts biting it you only need 1-2 bites to expel the toothpaste inside, after a couple of bites pull it away from the mouth. The pulling away will make the bristles bend and snap, disrupting the build up of plaque.

We are introducing something new into your cat's routine, sometimes this may take a bit longer than others. However, your cat is making positive associations with the Dental Wand, following the above we see some cats take to it immediately and others will build the trust and confidence and then bite it.

Finally, some people find that using their cat's favourite toy to get them going and then switching to the Dental Wand helps their cat begin to bite the Dental Wand.

We hope this is useful and either way want to help as much as we can.

A great idea.

Thank you for introducing such an amazing idea to us cat parents!
I wish I could say it works, and my cats love it - but to date, they will not chew it!
I will persevere!!

Good idea but.

Good idea but.

Only one of my cats showed any interest in the yellow tooth cleaning brush and only when it was not attached to the wand. If attached to the wand she repeatedly tried to bite through the cord and very nearly did. I shall keep trying with the brush not attached but it is quite expensive on reflection as the wand etc is redundant. Good idea but not that good in reality.

Great product - cat loves it!

Great product and arrived within a couple of days! We ordered this after seeing on dragons den and just bought the attachment and not the wand as we just attached it onto an existing wand/string we had.

I think this product is perfect as long as your cat likes the smell of the toothpaste. Excellent idea to make teeth brushing a more enjoyable experience for your cat. One of our cats absolutely loves it and will bite it constantly even if you just hold the attachment in your hand and even with no lick-e-Lix on the outside. She even pulls it off us and runs away with it! (the other cat has zero interest in it, & is a bit wary, even with lick-e-Lix on it, but he doesn’t like the toothpaste and is a fussy boy so we were expecting that). I was expecting it to be messy, but the holes on the product are quite small so toothpaste doesn’t go everywhere in the house which is great.

Cleaning was initially a little fiddly as the entry hole is small. However it is now easy as we found using a simple cleaning brush for straws works really well! My only issue is that the hole for putting toothpaste in is quite small so difficult/bit fiddly

Overall would recommend!

Doesn't work

Bought the teeth cleaning toy after watching Dragon's Den. Despite every effort, my cat couldn't be less interested in it - and even when she is, she doesn't want to chew it. I would not have wasted my money on this product if I had known. Up to you - but I'd suggest don't bother. Tried multiple ways but she just won't chew the allegedly useful part.

Hi Steve, we am really sorry that this happened. We followed up on your order that you placed on the 22nd of March. It was shipped on the 23rd of March, we sent it via tracked 48 service so it should have arrived on the 26th. Unfortunately we cannot check all the tracking of all our orders and sometimes Royal Mail makes mistakes. We know this is very frustrating, if you believe your item is ever delayed it important that you get in touch to our customer care team. In your case, we called Royal Mail, they lost your order thus we have prepped a new one to be sent to you via the tracked 24 service. If you ever have questions or need to reach out please contact meow@inventorcat.co.uk

Fun, innovative product, loved by Mango!

Great customer service and very prompt delivery.

We've had this about a month now.

My 10month old kitten LOVES this toothbrush. We have a daily play and brush, sometimes with the rod, sometimes not, as he adores toys on strings, so we can mix it up which is great.

It is user friendly, easy to use and clean, and ultimately doesn't feel like going into the lions cage when trying to implement some basic dental hygiene to our fur baby.

The products are well made, cone in a well made, sturdy box to keep your cat toothbrush safe and tidy.

Highly recommend (as does Mango!).

Great Toy

The starter kit arrived quickly, immediately my cat started rolling around on top the box! It took a while for my cat to start biting the Dental Wand but he is normally like this with new things and when speaking with the team they explained that with some cats it might take longer than others. The manual on their website was very helpful and using lic-e-lix helped a lot he now loves it, it's his favourite toy :)
