I bought tartar control Whisker Lickins, I hear crunching with everybody but Giz, she grabs it and swollows, then looks at me for more... Since I have been giving them those, Amy won't touch her Pounce treats... Silly Girls!

Catnapper - I would LOVE to do that with my babies! But I think it takes two people, one to hold and one to flick?

Can you post here or PM me with the how-to?

My friend's vet showed her how - do you just get your nail under the gumline?

If my nails are too soft...what else can I use?

Thanks!

My nails are soft, so I use a nail manicure tool. Works like a charm. Just a little flick. I used to be terrified of hurting him by flicking too hard or deep, but I realized my tension would make matters worse so I relaxed and just did it.

I actually lay on top of Allen when I do it, and only do one side of his mouth at a time. My vet showed me how too. I couldn't possibly explain how I do it.

Allen's pretty easy ging so its not terribly bad, but he does run and hide from me for a few days afterwards

The Meezers either love or hate Greenies.
The Older Cats want thier Temptations, but the Kitten Trio absolutley the Greenies a lot.
I just wish that they were not so expensive about 7 dollars a pack in Catada.

Gary - $7.00??? OMG

I paid about $3.49 at Safeway! Or was that $4.39?

But STILL...

Do you have any friends in Barrie? See if Herbie's Drug Warehouse carries them, and get them shipped down!

If I buy them at Petsmart they're about $4.99 for the large package but if I buy them at Pet Club,which is similar to a Costco except for pets,then it only costs me $2.99 per large package. I try to stock up and buy at least 6-8 larges packages at a time.
