We've been using the Plaque Off for a month now and there is a marked improvement in the state of Puss' teeth. Thanks for all the advice.

I have two cats, Puss and Fluff, that were rescued from the bins in Greece 4 years ago. We hand reared them and they have lived with us on our sail boat ever since.
