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.
dentaVet
Feed material (powder) for dogs and catsFor daily tooth cleaning without time-consuming brushing, gentle to the gumsHardly anything has the potential to be as disturbing as unpleasant muzzle odor. In the long run, the human-animal relationship can be affected. Just as with us humans, plaque and tartar play a fundamental role in the oral and dental health of our beloved four-legged friends. A good and natural dental care for dogs and cats can be reflected in the overall animal health.Ascophyllum nodosum - also known as knotted kelp - contains a special combination of trace elements and minerals, which we can use when our animals begin to develop plaque and tartar. The substances contained balance the body‘s own composition of saliva and can thus help to soften disturbing dental plaque. Softened plaques can then be removed excellently with dentaVet Anti-Plaque, as it distributes itself independently in the muzzle and a natural cleaning process is created by the natural friction substances. In addition, the adhesion of new plaque is impeded.dentaVet Anti-Plaque can help to clean and care for the teeth and gums in a natural way with simple, daily application via the feed.Composition: 100% Ascophyllum nodosum (knotted kelp), groundAnalytical constituents: crude protein 6.6%, crude fat 3.4%, crude ash 26.4%, iodine 0.08%Feeding recommendation: Add daily 0.25-0.5 g/10 kg body weight to the feed. 1 quarter tsp. corresponds to approx. 0.6 g.Do not feed to animals with hyperthyroidism!

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.

Feed material (powder) for dogs and catsFor the support of the intestinal flora with tanninsThe elm bark is rich in nutrients, minerals and trace elements. Contained bitter and tannins stimulate intestinal peristalsis. The stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas and intestines multiply their digestive juices. The self-regulation of the gastrointestinal tract is positively influenced, and digestive complaints can be significantly reduced. A well-functioning digestive system can significantly promote an intact intestinal flora.We use European species for our Singulares Elm Bark (European), which are characterized in particular by the high content of tanning agents and less by the strong mucus formation attributed to the American/Canadian species. In phytotherapy, components containing tanning agents are always the first choice for indigestion associated with diarrhea. Mucous agents are completely unsuitable because, possibly, they may provide an even better breeding ground for the unwanted bacteria. Anaerobic germs, in particular, can reproduce even better under exclusion of oxygen under the mucus, while tannins deprive them of their of livelihood and also inhibit the absorption of toxins in the intestine.Products containing mucous agents can be used in retrospect to alleviate any irritation. Our recommendation cdVet Gastric Protection.Composition: 100% elm bark (ground).Analytical constituents: crude fiber 47%.Feeding recommendation: Mix with water and leave to soak for 10 min. Add 2 g/10 kg body weight daily to the feed. 1 half tsp. corresponds to ca. 1 g.European elm bark does not need to be boiled and does not form slime!Store it cool and dry!

Feed material for horses.Diet-related defense against insects.Garlic is used by many horse owners as a natural insect repellent.Insect Repellent GarlicIt is known that some horses are more affected, and some are less affected by stinging insects. Based on this, it can be assumed that the odour of the horse must play a leading role when repelling insects.Bugs are attracted by the exhaled carbon and the excreted sweat, which contains lactic acid. This suggests that any nuisance of mosquitoes may have to do with the metabolism in the direction of an acid-base balance.In order to make the characteristic odour and the excretions for the pests as unattractive as possible, we should first and foremost consider a need-based, balanced feeding. Very particular attention should be paid to the nutrients that are essential for good skin structure and a perfectly functioning metabolism. These include in the first place the trace elements zinc, copper, selenium and manganese. They are the basis for healthy and resilient skin and should be fed by a corresponding pure natural mineral feed (EquiGreen MicroMineral), as the content in general feeds is not available in a sufficient quantity.For a feed-related defence against insects, sulphur and its evaporation through the skin seems to play a unique role.For this purpose sulphur-containing herbs, especially garlic, which has a known insect repellent effect, are ideal. All naysaying aside, garlic with its health-promoting effects encourages a natural protection against internal and external parasites in horse feed. Unfortunately, supposedly scientific investigations warn against the use of garlic.Just such a publication in a leading scientific journal, the American Journal of Veterinary Research, where horses were given an excessive overfeeding of garlic with no less than between 120 and 160 grams of freeze-dried garlic per horse per day for a total of 70 days, has been concealed in the media, which has led to upsetting unsuspecting horse owners. 120 grams of dry garlic corresponds to about 6 to 8 tubers of garlic, in other words over 50 cloves of garlic.This absolute overfeeding of garlic led to anaemia, from which the scientists at this time concluded that large quantities of garlic are harmful.To which we would not disagree.However, the fact is that today garlic as a steppe plant belonging to the food spectrum of the ancestors of our horses is completely overlooked. However, no horse would have eaten such amounts as laid out in this study.For skin health an amount of 5 to 20 grams of dried garlic daily is sufficient, depending upon weight. The quantity makes the poison, and in recent years a large number of horses could be protected against the plague of insects thanks to garlic.From the website for the Institute of Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology, the toxic dose (poisonous dose) for daily feeding is indicated with 0.2 g of dried garlic / kg body weight of the dried garlic, which corresponds to 2 g of fresh garlic / kg body weight. The maximum average daily dose of fresh garlic or its equivalent is recommended as the following: For cats and dogs: 4g / animal, large ruminants: 20-30 g / animal, horses: 20g / animal.Around 25 years ago, garlic feeding was widespread, and we know from our own experience and from many accounts that garlic is especially an aid, when not every horse in a herd can be supplied with garlic.The horses that are supplied with garlic are significantly less bothered by insects as compared to the rest of the group.To optimise any repellence of insects, an supplementary application of Defence Concentrate has also proven to be very helpful.Composition: 100% pure garlic granules.Feeding recommendation: 20g daily into the feed. Close tightly after use.
