Risks
Breath fresheners can contain menthol, which is irritating to the mouth and gastrointestinal tract.
Some may also contain xylitol, a sweetener that can cause a sharp drop in blood sugar, resulting in depression, loss of coordination, seizures, and potentially liver damage.
Suggestions
Avoid giving breath fresheners to cats.
If you wish to control your cat’s breath problem, consult with your veterinarian to discuss a safe and appropriate oral hygiene program.
