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 feedFor the appropriate feeding in food-related digestive disorders and intestinal problems.For gut cleansing, powderThe tannins contained in tree barks can contribute to superficial densification of the intestinal mucosa with formation of a protective layer in the intestine. This prevents an increased water discharge. The intestinal contents are less fluid and the resulting protective layer makes the penetration of bacteria, poison or irritants more difficult.The tree parts of the GutREPTIN are extremely rich in minerals and trace elements. They contain fiber-rich structures as well as valuable nutrients. The digestion-promoting yeasts improve the intake of nutrients and vital substances in the intestine. Brewer‘s yeast is rich in natural B vitamins, trace elements and essential amino acids, supports intestinal health and thus the nonspecific immune system.Tip of an expert: Recommended for lizards and turtles, preferably in the late summer as a preparation for the winter rest.

Complementary feed (powder) for dogsNatural feed supplement with valuable secondary plant substancesMany dog owners, feeding their dogs with raw meat, assume that with a food ration based on the prey animal, the nutritional needs of their dogs are optimally covered. Nowadays, however, the ingredients used mostly come from industrial animal husbandry, which are often fed very one-sided and with regard to weight and growth and not to an optimal nutrient supply. In the past, when farm animals were kept on species- and herb-rich pastures and received feed mostly from their own cultivation, their diet was much more varied and above all rich in secondary plant substances. Nowadays, the latter are almost completely absent from farm animal feed for the reasons mentioned above. Our dogs and cats need these secondary plant substances, which they originally found in the bodies of their prey, in order to remain permanently healthy and efficient.herbaBARF Complete Powder was developed for this purpose. Its broad spectrum of micronutrient-rich fruits and vegetables, rounded off with herbs, algae, and other high-quality natural ingredients, compensates for the lack of secondary plant substances and other natural micronutrients in feeds of animal origin and thus enables a species-appropriate healthy nutrition. The calcium content of herbaBARF Complete Powder is very moderate and therefore it is especially suitable as a supplement in bone feeding, as well as a safeguard when feeding larger portions of leftovers.Composition: maerl, grass, herbs, legume plants, linseed, apple pomace, parsnip (ground), aronia pomace (powder), black currant pomace, eggshell powder, peat, sunflower seed expeller, malt rootlets, carrot pomace, brewers’ yeast, seaweed meal, grape pips meal, brewers' yeast cell walls (MOS), celery tuber (ground), moringa (powder)Analytical constituents: crude protein 11.0%, crude fat 6.4%, crude fiber 13.2%, crude ash 24.7%, ash insoluble in HCl 2.6%, calcium 8.46%, phosphorus 0.29%, sodium 0.14%Feeding recommendation: Add 5 g/10 kg body weight daily to the feed. 1 tsp. corresponds to approx. 3 g.

Feed material for dogs and catsNatural source of calcium for the demand-oriented supply when feeding raw meat, powderCalcium intake in particular plays a major role in the feeding of raw meat. This can only be achieved by feeding sufficient bone. Not every dog can or wants to eat bones, and in the case of cats, feeding whole prey (mice or chicks) is not always problem-free either.herbaBARF Eggshell Powder is a readily utilizable animal source of calcium for daily feeding. It provides balance when feeding raw meat by balancing the high phosphorus content of the meat with its natural calcium content. Due to the fine degree of grinding, the product has a high bioavailability.neutralization of phosphorus excess with predominant meat feedingfor bone-free feedingas an extra source of calcium in times of increased demand (growth, gestation, lactation)Composition: eggshell powder 100%Analytical constituents: crude ash 95,9%, calcium 37,1%How to use: Mix daily into the feed. Dogs: 1.5 g/10 kg body weight. Cats: 0.75 g/5 kg body weight. 1 quarter tsp. corresponds to approx. 1.5.1 g eggshell powder contains approx. 370 mg calcium. The daily requirement of calcium is about 50-90 mg Ca/kg body weight. Gestating and lactating bitches as well as growing puppies need up to 180 mg Ca/kg body weight. If you also feed bones, we recommend reducing the amount.
