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.

The original habitat of New and Old World camels are the mountainous areas of the Andes in South America and the desert regions of North Africa and the Near East. Here one finds predominantly sparse vegetation consisting of simple grasses, bush-like plants, and mosses. The mineral content of these plants tends to be high, whereas the protein content is low. Incorrect nutrition and excessively 'fatty' (protein-rich) pastures, as are common in this country, can lead to obesity and metabolic disorders in camels. This mainly affects the detoxification organs liver, kidneys, and also the secondary detoxification organs intestines and skin. priVet KamelFit is a combination product made from natural minerals and herbs that specifically addresses the special needs of camels. It supports the liver and kidneys, activates metabolic processes and, thanks to the herbs, trace elements, and methionine it contains, promotes excellent wool growth and a fine, shiny fleece. When fed regularly, priVet KamelFit can also have a positive effect on the capacitance and balance of the animals. A balanced diet with optimum basic nutrients, demand-oriented concentrates and the best supplementary feed is just as important as the best husbandry conditions and an individually adapted training program. priVet KamelFit has been developed in particular: for good quality and texture of the wool for good muscle development with loose, efficient muscles for healthy internal organs and an intact circulatory system for a functioning digestive tract for resistant and high performing camels

Rumen activity is the basis for optimal feed intake and conversion in ruminants. Especially in high-yielding cows, feed intake and conversion may be impaired around calving. Therefore, if there are even minor signs of rumen problems, it is advisable to nutritionally promote rumen activity with PhytoStart Rumen Starter. Demand-based feeding in early lactation can ensure and promote basal feed performance. PhytoStart Rumen Starter, a fermented plant extract from wild and aromatic herbs, intensively supports the rumen activity and thus the feed intake of ruminants. in case of insufficient feed intake in ruminants stimulation of feed intake in case of or after digestive disorders promotion of the desire to eat around calving time reduction of nutritional causes of abomasal displacement

Complementary feed (liquid, fermented) for ruminants, poultry, pigs, and rabbitsFeeding-related support of the intestinal floraIn the fermentation process, probiotic microorganisms multiply and produce lactic acid, antioxidants, enzymes, and vitamins. Those have an influence on the pH value and optimize the intestinal environment. In a healthy intestine, the balance of the intestinal flora is intact. Pathogenic bacteria thus do not find an ideal living base and can develop only with great difficulty. Since a large part of the immune system is located in the intestine, an intact intestinal flora favors a well-functioning immune system.It is particularly important for calves, lambs, and piglets to build up a healthy intestinal flora, which forms a probiotic protective function against undesirable germs in the digestive tract.
