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.

cdVet HuminoMineral cosists of and the unique HuminoMin-Complex® and natural nutrients. It is rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Particularly noteworthy is its high content of zinc and magnesium. cdVet HuminoMineral also contains a lot of folic acid as well as vitamin E, B vitamins, β?-carotene, sulfur, potassium, and selenium.Special feature of the HuminoMin® complex: Intestinal health and environmental conditions also play a role that should not be underestimated when it comes to the absorption and utilization of the required micronutrients. This is where the HuminoMin® complex comes in: Due to its elaborate composition, the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestine are protected and supported in their function, which favors the absorption of necessary micronutrients. In addition, the HuminoMin complex supports the regulation of acid-base balance and is characterized by excellent cell-protecting antioxidant properties.Due to the high toxin-binding properties of the HuminoMin® complex, toxins from bacteria and fungi or also toxins supplied from outside, such as glyphosate, are already bound in the intestine and excreted via the feces. This reduces the burden on the organism because the toxins do not enter the blood, and organs and tissues remain protected. The presence of glyphosate in more and more feedstuffs, of plant and also animal origin, can lead to a deficiency of micronutrients, although there would actually be enough minerals and trace elements. These nutrients cannot be absorbed because they are bound by glyphosate.HuminoMin® complex:mucosal protection for stomach and intestinetoxin binding in the intestineexcellent feed conversion - micronutrients are better absorbedcell protection through antioxidant propertiesregulation of acid-base balancesupport of the immune defense by balancing the lack of minerals

Spirulina, which in the true sense does not belong to the algae but to the blue bacteria, is not very impressive at just about 0.3 mm in size. But on closer inspection, it turns out to be a real powerhouse. Since its cells have no nucleus and its cell envelope is very soft, the nutrients it contains can be absorbed excellently through the intestine. When metabolized, it can have a positive influence on alkaline formation and thus on the acid balance of the stomach.It consists of almost 70% highly digestible protein and contains a variety of vitamins, trace elements, minerals, chlorophyll, and amino acids. This makes it also suitable as a supplement for increased activity requirements. The contained blue pigment phycocyanin can have a supporting effect on the liver and kidney circulation and intercept free hydroxyl radicals. Since spirulina is not a marine algae, its iodine content is rather low.

The optimal feed for the sporty and healthy dog.You want to give up grain in feeding, while your active dog supply around well? Then you meet with Fit-Crock Active Lamb Mini the right choice! The high proportion of animal proteins from lamb, fish and blood, as well as an increased fat content in beef fat provide appropriate nutrition. The total protein content is deliberately kept moderate to avoid unnecessary load on the metabolism, while the increased need for essential amino acids are taken into account. The fat content is made up of beef fat for quickly and easily available energy and high-quality, cold-pressed vegetable oil to a supply of essential fatty acids.A high-quality food for all sports-, hounds- and agile for leisure- dogs.Fit-Crock Active Lamb Mini is a purely natural dry food for dogs. We consciously do without the addition of synthetic vitamins so as not to unnecessarily burden the metabolism. Balanced natural ingredients ensure a broad supply and optimal nutrition. Our gentle cold-press manufacturing process ensures that the natural vitamins and micronutrients are retained in their original form and are thus fully available to the organism.The role model for us is the nature in which we orient ourselves. Fit-Crock Active Lamb Mini contains no grain and is therefore particularly suitable for dogs with grain intolerances. We keep the fat and protein content deliberately moderate so that even dogs with allergies and a tendency to metabolic disorders and / or overweight can be optimally cared for. This provides an optimal nutritional basis, in which a performance-related addition of meat in reasonable quantities is well tolerated.Jerusalem artichoke is extremely rich in various ingredients. Noteworthy is the high potassium content (460mg per 100g), magnesium, calcium, sulfur, silicic acid and iron are abundant, as well as phosphorus and vitamins (such as carotene, B1, B2, B6), nicotinic acid, vitamin C, D, inositol and biotin. Fruit and glucose are present in a similar mixture as in honey.In addition, Jerusalem artichoke contains a high proportion of probiotic, digestive inulin. Inulin is a non-digestible carbohydrate in the small intestine, which positively influences the bacterial flora in the large intestine (bifidobacteria are strengthened, putrefactive bacteria decrease). The absorption of minerals from the intestine is promoted and also a positive effect on the formation and utilization of essential fatty acids was observed. Since it is not absorbed as sugar from the intestine, it is very well tolerated. It also reduces hunger and prevents food cravings.
