Natural Care for Teeth and Gums
A bright white set of teeth, pink gums, and breath without unpleasant odors are, unfortunately, increasingly rare in our pets these days. Especially as our dog or cat gets older, discoloration of teeth and gums often occurs. During every cuddling session, you might find yourself trying not to breathe too deeply to avoid the strong mouth odor of your beloved pet.
Also, in the case of daily grooming of cats, their foul-smelling saliva can sometimes make those who are more sensitive to smells prefer to keep their distance. Here, you can learn what is important for the natural care of teeth and gums.
Understanding the Causes of Bad Breath in Pets
The Role of Bacteria and Fungi
The primary cause of bad breath is usually bacteria and fungi in the animal's mouth. These microorganisms are responsible for plaque formation.
What is Plaque?
Plaque, or dental tartar, is a buildup that contains several layers, including food residues, proteins, carbohydrates, phosphates, and microorganisms. It accumulates on teeth, particularly in areas not reached by natural or artificial cleaning methods.
Consequences of Plaque Buildup
Plaque can lead to dental issues such as caries, periodontitis, and gingivitis. Microorganisms in plaque form a biofilm, producing acids that damage tooth enamel and dentin, leading to caries. Some microorganisms trigger an immune response, causing gum inflammation.
Bad Breath and its Intensification
Some plaque microorganisms produce sulfur compounds, which result in bad breath. This odor intensifies as these microorganisms multiply.
The Formation of Tartar
Over time, plaque absorbs minerals and becomes hard, forming tartar. Tartar provides an additional surface for bacterial colonization, exacerbating dental problems.
Natural ingredients in dentaVet products

Frankincense
Frankincense has been used for various purposes since ancient times. The first documentation of the use of frankincense for dental care dates back to the thirteenth century. Since then, frankincense has been particularly used for strengthening the gums.

Fennel
In addition to many well-known features, fennel is also recognized for its high content of the essential oils anethole and fenchol. Anethole is traditionally used in human oral care products.

Eggshells
The rougher surface of eggshells provides a gentle abrasion that helps remove dental plaque and discoloration.
How Diet Affects Breath
Diet and Bad Breath
The diet can be a key factor in the development of bad breath. Many commercial pet foods contain synthetic additives, preservatives, attractants, and sugars. Over time, these ingredients can negatively impact the natural oral flora of pets.
Consequences of Dental Issues
When serious dental problems arise, a veterinarian's intervention is often essential. Dental treatments often require anesthesia, which can cause significant stress to the animal's overall health.
Preventive Measures
Regular and sufficient dental hygiene is as crucial in pet care as a species-appropriate diet. To support this, cdVet offers dentaVet Breath Fresh, dentaVet Oil, and dentaVet Gel. These products provide an easy and stress-free way to maintain daily dental care, complementing a healthy diet for optimal oral health.

Complementary feed (powder) for horsesWild herbs for an intestinal ambience hostile to wormsEquiGreen WK-Mix has been developed for the special nutritional needs that arise in connection with colonization by worms. The lack of herbal ingredients, such as saponins, bitter substances, and tannins, can make our pets susceptible to excessive colonization by worms.

However with their wild relatives, precisely these substances lead to avoid an excessive, pathological colonization by worms.In order to have less often a reason for chemical deworming cures, the animal‘s intestine should therefore be supported with appropriate herbs that are contained in EquiGreen WK-Mix. Besides of a balanced diet, you can achieve this by the occasional addition of the complementary feed EquiGreen WK-Mix, which can compensate for the lack of herbal ingredients, such as saponins, bitter substances and tannins. In addition, many specialists for parasitology recommend checking the colonization by worms of the animal by regularly monitoring the faeces samples.Composition: pumpkin seeds, carrot pomace, walnut leaves, coconut grated, ash bark, rose hip fruit, coriander fruit, wild garlic herb, southernwood herb, dandelion root, thyme leaves, dandelion herb, lemon balm leaves, wormwood herb.Additives/kg: Flavouring compounds: oregano oil 4.5 g.Analytical constituents: crude protein 15.8%, crude fat 10.2%, crude fiber 16.9%, crude ash 9.0%, calcium 1.01%, phosphorus 0.42%, sodium 0.13%.Feeding recommendation: Add 1 g/100 kg body weight to the feed daily for 4 weeks. 1 tsp corresponds to ca. 2 g.
