Do you ever think about your cat’s teeth? If you are anything like me, you probably didn’t start thinking about them until your cat got older. Unlike dogs, who are constantly smiling, we usually don’t see their teeth unless they are eating or playing ferociously with a toy (or string – always string!). To make matter worse, you usually don’t know if your cat is having dental issues until there is a serious problem, such as a severe buildup of tartar or tooth decay. For older cats, this can especially be bad since it can lead to other health issues. Since brushing their teeth is usually challenging, (and scratch inducing), I have been trying to find something that doesn’t just clean their teeth, but that they will hopefully enjoy as well. As I was doing my research, I was introduced to the perfect dental treat for picky senior cats like ours – Meow Mix® Brushing Bites®.
With 85% of cats showing signs of oral disease by the age of 3, it isn’t shocking that cat parents want to do something to help their cats have healthier teeth. As a matter of fact, 95% of cat owners agree that tooth and gum problems can cause serious health problems, making it a major concern in the cat community. This is why Meow Mix Brushing Bites, at least in my opinion, is a must for cat parents. These crunchy treats help keep a cat’s teeth healthy by reducing or helping control plaque and tartar. As well, they they are fortified with vitamin D and calcium to help support strong, healthy teeth and bones, making them a healthy treat for cats.
Of course, the best part to cats is that Meow Mix Brushing Bites are made with real chicken or salmon. I mean, what cat can resist a delicious treat made from their favorite meat? For pet parents, these are a win-win since cats have a nutritious treat that their pet will enjoy, that also helps prevent dental issues down the road.
So what do our cats think of it? To see if they were worthy of feline attention, we got two of our favorite taste testers to help us out – Precious and Squeaky. Since these cats aren’t normally too interested in treats, they were a bit reluctant at first and mostly just smelling the treats a few times. After we let them sniff for a bit and make their own decision, they were quickly hooked on these treats and begging for more. We think the real chicken was probably the best part to our cats, which made Meow Mix Brushing Bites an absolute hit to our kitty testers. I mean, what could possibly be better than a cat treat that cats don’t just love, but controls plaque and tartar?

Every cat needs these!!!
What a neat concept! It’s nice that pet food and pet care companies have really expanded their product lines to ensure that every area of your pet’s health are taken care of. I think it’s especially good that this has been expanded to cats, who generally prefer to not be bothered but still need the same level of care and attention.
I should get these for my cats. They do love their treats and I want to make sure their teeth are okay.
I miss having a cat
i don’t have a cat, but your kitty is so cute!
These brushing bites are a great idea! you can’t get a cat to eat an apple, at least not mine. And they don’t like anyone messing with their mouth. And great you can get it at Walmart!
I don’t own a cat but my brother does. I’ll tell him about this Meow Mix.
Meow Mix is a great brand! <3
I love that these are made with real ingredients I can pronounce!
I finally got out today and grabbed a bag of these. I hope to have a picture tomorrow on my instagram with my cats eating these meow mix brushing bites.
I miss my cat so much, I loved her tons! She’d have loved these treats
If I still had a cat I would certainly check out these.
I’m not a cat owner. But I have a family member that does and I will let her know about this product.
Your cats are so sweet looking! I’m glad they ended up liking the treats! Cats do have some special breath. Haha!
I didn’t know this was on the market. I will get these for my cat. Am sure she would like them and help her gums.
These sound pawsome 🙂 Since we give the cats treats anyway why not try these and help keep their teeth healthy. I’ll have to look for them next time I shop. Thanks!
This is great for cat owners who like their cats to have a beautiful smile!
I know Macy and Mr. Handsome would make up excuses not to try these. “Our teeth are fine”.
I just know my Fred and Ginger will love these tasty treats!
My little Tabitha will love these treats. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t have a cat. However, I have a family member that has a cat. I will share this product info with her.
My aunts cat adores treats ,she’d love these and they’re good for his teeth.. Awesome
My cat love treats and these sound great.
I have 3 cats,they would love these.
I had not heard of these treats. With 2 older cats, no doubt these would help. Dental pain is the worst pain ever.
We can’t have a cat because my hubby is allergic. We do have two dogs! These treats looks awesome though and I will mention them to my cat lover friend!
My cats passed away many years ago. If they were still with me I would definitely pick this up for them! 🙂
I didn’t know Meow Mix offered these kind of treats; thanks a lot for sharing!
I could really use these for my cats. It’s really hard to try to brush their teeth myself – these would be so much easier!
These are a great idea. I don’t have any pets so I don’t need it but i will share with my mom.
Really love Meow Mix. We gonna try these brushing bite. Thanks for sharing.
I saw these in the store and I have to buy these for my Ginger. Thanks for the review.
I always give my cat dental care treats. It’s important to keep his teeth clean and there is now way he would let me brush them.
My kitty has been waiting for this! I thank you for the nice and bright idea for a special treat for my Tiger.
Oh awesome! I am going to purchase some for our grandkittens we have. Thank you very much.
My cats seem to be liking these, I hope to get a picture of them showing the love for these treats.

This is a cool idea, if it’s a treat the cat will definitely take it, and it’s great for their teeth.
I need to see if my cat’s would like them.there very picky they love there tasty treats.
I really have to get a cat 🙁
Dental Health is very important for pets! I use these treats quite often!
Meow Mix Brushing Bites sound like fantastic treats that I’m sure my little fur babies would love!
I’ve never heard of these treats. I would definitely get them for my cat and see if he liked them. My sister has 2 & my brother has 3. If they work, I will introduce them to these as well. We all love cats!
When I had a cat he would love these treats. He wouldn’t touch canned cat food, but all I’d have to do is shake the bag and he’d come running to get his treats.
I wondered why I hadn’t seen these treats. Then I saw they are at Walmart. No wonder, none of us shop there. They really should be at PetSmart and Petco.
