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.
herbaVet Vermigin wurde für den speziellen Ernährungsbedarf entwickelt, der im Zusammenhang mit Wurmbesatz entsteht. Der Mangel an Kräuterinhaltstoffen, wie Saponine, Bitterstoffe und Gerbstoffe, kann bei unseren Haustieren zu einer Anfälligkeit für überhöhten Wurmbesatz führen. Im Gegensatz zu ihren in der Wildnis lebenden Artgenossen haben sie oftmals nicht die Möglichkeit, die genannten Stoffe durch Pflanzen und Kräuter aufzunehmen. Doch gerade diese Stoffe tragen bei ihren wilden Verwandten dazu bei, einen übermäßigen, krankhaften Wurmbesatz durch gesunde Ernährung zu vermeiden. Um seltener einen Grund für chemische Wurmkuren zu haben, sollte daher der Darm des Tieres mit entsprechenden Kräutern, die in herbaVet Vermigin enthalten sind, unterstützt werden. Dies erreichen Sie neben einer ausgewogenen Ernährung mit der gelegentlichen Zugabe der Futterergänzung herbaVet Vermigin, die den Mangel an Kräuterinhaltstoffen, wie Saponine, Bitterstoffe und Gerbstoffe, ausgleichen kann. Zudem empfehlen viele Fachleute für Parasitologie, den Wurmbesatz des Tieres durch eine regelmäßige Überwachung der Kotproben zu prüfen.

Complementary feed (powder) for dogs and catsFor intestinal cleansingFeeding close to nature, such as feeding raw meat (BARF), accommodates the physiological conditions of the digestive tract of dogs and cats, but this is often already attacked and pre-damaged by the previous feeding of highly processed food. In particular, conventional dry food (so-called extruded food) leads in the long run to the fact that the intestine can no longer work properly, because it provides too little digestive stimuli due to its lack of structure and the lack of fiber. In addition, its high carbohydrate content (below about 50% carbohydrate content is technically impossible to produce) facilitates the colonization of fungi, undesirable bacteria, and protozoa such as giardia. It happens virtually the same as when we humans feed only on white bread and the like: the intestine becomes fungal and slagged!If one starts feeding raw meat directly to such a pre-damaged digestive tract, there is a risk of problems that should not be underestimated. These are, on the one hand, directly visible digestive problems (diarrhea, vomiting, etc.) and, on the other hand, the risk of an incorrect colonization of the intestine with undesirable germs, since the stomach pH after extruded feeding is often too high to kill them and there is no stable microbiome in the intestine to prevent colonization. Feeding poultry meat at the beginning of the transition in particular is often problematic because of the potential salmonella load.To avoid these problems, it makes sense to support the digestion during the transition to feeding with raw meat in such a way that these dangers are minimized. herbaBARF GutStart combines purely natural digestion-supporting ingredients in a way that makes this possible.Composition: brewers' yeast cell walls (MOS), willow bark, elm bark, coriander seedsAdditives/kg: Technological additives: bentonite (1m558i) 335 g.

The tannins contained in tree bark can contribute to a superficial compaction of the intestinal mucosa with the formation of a protective layer in the intestine. This prevents increased water leakage. The intestinal contents become less fluid, and the protective layer formed makes it more difficult for bacteria, toxins, or irritants to penetrate. A nutrition close to nature should be based on the menue of diet of wild animals. Thus, it could be observed during observations of various wildlife species that barks of trees and shrubs also form a solid food component. The tree parts contained in GutREPTIN are very rich in minerals and trace elements. They contain fiber-rich structures, but also valuable nutrients. This improves the absorption of nutrients and vital substances in the intestine. In addition, the B vitamins, trace elements and essential amino acids contained support intestinal health and thus the non-specific immune system. Subsequent feeding with REPTIN GutFlora is recommended !
