Cat owners buy £2 biscuits ‘fussy’ pets enjoy to help fight disease

Dental diseases can be a significant issue for cats, leading to discomfort, tooth loss, and even severe organ problems if left untreated. According to Cromwell Vets, as many as 80% of cats over three years old exhibit signs of dental disease, highlighting the importance of oral care for your feline friend.

Fortunately, preventing these issues can be as straightforward as providing your cat with the right treats. Scrumbles’ Krunchies: Cat Dental Treats are an excellent choice for proactive pet owners, containing an active ingredient that can reduce plaque by up to 80%.

A bag is available for £2, 12 for £22.50, or 24 for £44.50, with a 25% discount throughout February. An additional 10% saving is available for those who subscribe for regular deliveries.

These treats are made with all-natural ingredients and no added sugar, fortified with gut-friendly algae to help keep your cat regular. The key plaque-fighting ingredient is sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP), which is perfectly safe for cats and contributes significantly to maintaining their teeth and gums plaque and pain-free.

Your cat won’t object to them either, thanks to a dual-textured design and a tasty chicken flavour – although we’ll have to trust Scumbles’ word on that. They’re perfect as a treat, mixed in with their main food, or as a reward for good behaviour around the house, reports the Mirror.

“My cat got a thumbs up from the vet for his teeth and I think these help,” said one satisfied Krunchies customer.

“Misha loves these treats! Also had a recent visit to the vet and she commented on how good his teeth look! I’m combining the treats with teeth brushing but feel they definitely do help! ” shared one satisfied cat owner.

Another chimed in: “Logan loved his treats. He has issues with his teeth, so these are perfect to help him maintain vitamins and he enjoys them too.”

Scrumbles, a brand specialising in gut-friendly pet food, boasts an impressive average rating of 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot, based on nearly 1,500 reviews to date.

One five-star reviewer praised the brand’s commitment to quality, stating: “I had been looking for a dry cat food which had a much higher quality meat content. Scrumbles not only fulfils this but is also designed to support the gut. I liked that the company works with Bath University on development and has a very eco-friendly policy. The website is easy to use and the delivery very fast and reliable. But the acid test… the cats absolutely love Scrumbles – all four fussy seniors!”

However, some customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the brand’s customer service and delivery. A three-star review read: “After receiving my trial pack, I heard nothing from Scrumbles until I had an email stating that my first subscription pack was on its way and that I had been charged for it. Would have preferred an email enquiring if my dog liked the product and would I like to commence with the subscription.”

However, one satisfied customer shared their experience, saying: “The buying experience was streamlined and effortless from start to delivery and the quality of the food is just the best. My cats won’t eat anything else.”

For those looking to enhance their cat’s dental health, there are alternatives on the market. Pets at Home offers dental sticks for £3, while Whiskas Dentabites Treats can be snapped up for £1.10 per pack at The Range.
