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 ruminants, donkeys, pigs and poultryWild herbs for an intestinal ambience hostile to wormspriVet 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. In contrast to their conspecifics living in the wilderness, they often do not have the opportunity to absorb those substances through plants and herbs. 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 priVet WK-Mix. Besides of a balanced diet, you can achieve this by the occasional addition of the complementary feed priVet 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.Expert tip: If the indicated feeding recommendation is not possible due to husbandry reasons, an alternative feeding with a higher quantity may be used:Cattle/pigs/goats/sheep/alpacas/fallow deer: 2 g/50 kg body weight on 3 consecutive days - 10 days break - 2 g/50 kg body weight on 3 consecutive days.Donkeys: 2 g/100 kg body weight on 3 consecutive days - 10 days break - 2 g/100 kg body weight on 3 consecutive days.Feeding should be repeated every 3 months.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 herbAdditives/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 daily to the feed.

Supplementary feed (powder) for dogsFor feeding-related support during times of high energy requirements and picky eating, e.g., during the postpartum period.During the postpartum period with newly born puppies, many dogs transform into spoiled divas - and that is their right. Unfortunately, they often refuse their usual food, eat only treats, or even fast. Many dogs may also refuse to leave the whelping box and their puppies, which inevitably means 'breakfast in bed', because in the weeks following birth the dog has a significantly increased basal metabolic rate that needs to be taken care of.cdVet, together with breeders, has developed ProBreeder Queen Mum, a high-calorie smoothie. ProBreeder Queen Mum replenishes the mineral balance after birth with valuable ingredients, provides the necessary energy, and at the same time revitalizes in cases of exhaustion.Expert tip: The smoothie can be licked up by the dog lying in the whelping box either independently from the bowl or, if the dog is reluctant to eat, fed directly into the mouth using a syringe (100 ml).Ingredients: Algae lime, amaranth, banana powder, Sweet whey powder, zucchini, dextrose, broccoli, malt sprouts, Dead Sea salt, seaweed flour, grape seed flour, brewer's yeast, brewer's yeast cell walls (MOS), moringa, spirulina, xanthan gum, green tea.Analytical constituents: Crude protein 11.2%, crude fat 1.9%, crude fiber 4.9%, crude ash 21.5%, calcium 5.77%, phosphorus 0.31%, magnesium 0.57%, sodium 1.37%.Feeding recommendation: Small dogs (1-10 kg): 5 g/25 ml liquid.

It is used as a building material for the beehive. Plant resins are the basic material from which the so-called putty resin is made. It is made up of many different substances. These include e. g. vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, trace elements, and flavonoids.Although our animals come into constant contact with bacteria, viruses, and fungi, they normally remain healthy. To achieve this, the immune system is always on alert. Pathogens that enter the body are identified and destroyed. However, stress, environmental influences, and the natural aging process weaken the immune system and thus the body‘s own defenses. Pathogens have an easy game and our animals become ill. The valuable ingredients in propolis can effectively support the immune system in its work.FlavonoidsPropolis is particularly rich in flavonoids. Flavonoids are natural plant substances and strengthen the immune system. They also act as `radical scavengers´. Free radicals are highly aggressive and can cause lasting damage to cells. Flavonoids protect the cells from the attacks of free radicals and keep the organism young. The younger the organism is, the better the immune system functions.Vitamins, minerals, and trace elementsBut it‘s not just the flavonoids that make propolis so beneficial. Propolis contains a variety of nutrients that the body needs. Vitamins are involved in various biochemical reactions in the body. They influence the metabolism, strengthen the organism, and have a beneficial effect on the nervous system. In addition, propolis is rich in valuable minerals and trace elements such as magnesium, calcium, silicon, zinc, and iron, to name just a few. They not only support the immune system in addition to the flavonoids, but are also required by the body for a variety of metabolic processes. They make a valuable contribution to the development of muscles and bones, and play a key role in the regeneration of cells.Composition: propolis powder 45%, sea buckthorn berries, spirulina, dead-nettle herb, bean pods, field horsetail herb, blackberry leaves, lemon balm leaves, boneset herb, ginseng root, grape leaves, oak bark, willow bark, chamomile blossomsAdditives/kg: Technological additives: bentonite (1m558i) 450 g.The total amount of bentonite must not exceed the permitted maximum level in complete feedingstuff of 20000 mg/kg of complete feedingstuff.Analytical constituents: crude protein 4.1%, crude fat 14.6%, crude fiber 2.8%, crude ash 43.8%, calcium 1.01%, phosphorus 0.07%, sodium 0.70%, ash insoluble in HCl 46%Feeding recommendation (powder): Add 1 x daily to the feed.

Due to this composition, it is best adapted to the mother‘s milk and is also highly digestible for motherless puppies. Puppy Milk is free from any synthetic additives.Puppy Milk can be fed as a replacement milk when the dam is absent, e.g. due to death or illness.

Your pet needs sufficient time to get used to the new food. To avoid digestive disorders, the change of food should be done slowly and gradually.Stimulate the puppy‘s belly with a soft, body-warm cloth to stimulate digestion. Until 3 weeks of age, puppies are unable to urinate or defecate on their own. Normally, the bitch stimulates the puppies‘ digestion by licking their bellies, so it is beneficial to imitate this behavior of the bitch after each bottle and stimulate the little belly. This prevents possible constipation.Expert tip: Additional puppy milk is superfluous if the dam is healthy and gives enough milk.
