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.

priVet Oregano Gut Elixir was specially designed for poultry and contains, in addition to essential oils of oregano, digestion-optimizing tannins. The digestive tract is supported by stimulating enzyme formation and improving feed conversion. Tannins, with their astringent properties, can help seal permeable intestinal mucosa and optimize fecal consistency. priVet Oregano Gut Elixir thus supports the condition of the intestinal flora in a nutrient-related way. A well-conditioned and immune-strengthened intestinal ambience makes it more difficult for endoparasites to settle in the intestine. This in turn also lowers the germ pressure in the stable, as fewer pathogenic germs are consequently excreted. Therefore, a healthy intestine is of particular importance for keeping animals healthy. stabilizes the intestinal flora improves feed conversion optimizes fecal consistency strengthens the immune system
