     V: The other option would be to have him on a special

         um dental diet. ((C nods))

  • 3

        Uh the dental diet that I recommend is the

  • 4

         {2 Brand-Relevant Initials} diet it’s for

  • 5

        [tooth diet

  • 6

     C: [°Mm.°

  • 7

     V: It’s made by {Pet Food Company Name} and it’s special

  • 8

        because the kibbles are larger ((C nods))

  • 9

        than other kibble? and the tooth has to go all the way

  • 10

       into the kibble before it shatters. So it acts like a

  • 11

       toothbrush brushing up on the teeth when they chew the

  • 12

       food.

  • 13

    C: °Okay.°

  • 14

    V: Uh the last option would be to just wait until the

       teeth get bad enough and then do a dental cleaning

  • 16

       and with cats with a dental cleaning it’s anywhere

  • 17

  • 24

    C: =(Yeah.)

  • 25

    V: So if you’re at all interested in the diet that I was

  • 26

       talking about I can definitely send you home with a

  • 27

       pamphlet?

  • 28

    C: That’d be good (give us) a price range [on it=

    V:                                            [Yup

  • 30

    C: =(°kind of thing.°) ((C nods))

  • 31

    V: And then if you decide you want it I can also send you

  • 32

       home with a free bag to try just to see if he likes it

  • 33

       and to see if you like it.

  • 34

    C: Yeah cuz Rascal’s been eatin’ hard kibble=Yeah he
