- 1). Add 1 tsp. of baking soda to small mixing bowl.
- 2). Add 1/2 tsp. water slowly, stirring all the while. Add a sprinkle of stevia sweetener while stirring if desired. Stevia is a sweetener used in commercial pet toothpastes. Some cats are fond of sweet items and may take to homemade toothpaste more readily if it is sweet. However, cat toothpaste does not need stevia in order to help clean feline teeth.
- 3). Stop stirring when it has the consistency of white paste. Apply as soon as possible to the cat's teeth with a clean cotton swab, gauze pad or a commercially made cat toothbrush. Throw out any leftover toothpaste as it will harden. Mix a fresh batch every time. If there is a lot of leftover toothpaste, try using only 1/2 tsp. baking soda and 1/4 tsp. water.
