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 bitchesFor feeding-related support in times of high energy requirements with simultaneous grumbling, e.g. in the puerperiumIn the postpartum period with newborn puppies, many bitches turn into spoiled divas - and that is their good right. Unfortunately, they often refuse their usual feed, eat only treats or even fast. Many bitches may also refuse to leave the whelping box and their puppies, which then inevitably means 'breakfast in bed', as the bitch has a significantly increased basal metabolic rate in the weeks following birth, which needs to be taken care of.Together with breeders, cdVet 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 case of exhaustion.Expert tip: The smoothie can either be licked up from the bowl by the bitch herself lying in the whelping box or fed directly into the bitch's mouth using a syringe (100 ml) if she does not want to eat.Composition: maerl, amaranth, banana powder, sweet whey powder, zucchini, dextrose, broccoli, malt rootlets, Dead Sea salt, seaweed meal, grape pips meal, brewers' yeast, brewers' yeast cell walls (MOS), moringa, spirulina, xanthan gum, green teaAnalytical 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.

MortellaroVet Probiotic is designed for the care and hygienic reduction of rot-prone claw problems such as Mortellaro. Mortellaro and other problems caused by rot are favoured by unhealthy rotting stable flora. MortellaroVet ProBiotic strengthens the aerobic germinal flora, which naturally hinders or suppresses rot. The claws are thus given an environment by the claw bath which reduces or helps to avoid care and hygiene-related causes of stress. Rot germs or germs of disease can generally be displaced by a healthy stable and skin flora. Mortellaro in cows: Mortellaro in cows in free range barns is often a massive health and therefore soon a financial problem for the owner. What are the main causes? 1. moisture in the barn causes rotting manure and slurry. The manure rots anaerobically and is an ideal soil for rotting germs, which can become a problem especially with damp and soaked skin areas. 2. metabolic overload in cows also causes cows to try to detoxify via the skin. This results in cheese-like secretions. These secretions are an ideal breeding ground for putrefactive bacteria. If the affected skin areas are not sufficiently cared for, inflammation can quickly develop and spread like an epidemic in the barn. Causes of such occurrences are therefore primarily lack of care, incorrect nutrition and husbandry conditions. How can cdVet help: 1. Nursing with claw gel. Claw gel binds moisture and forms an oxygen permeable plaster, which dries the skin and the skin for healthy body regeneration massively relieves and at the same time avoids the new contamination of the skin areas. Claw gel is therefore a product for individual animal care that has been indispensable in the field of claws for more than 14 years. 2. mortellaroVet ProBiotic is a further development based on fermented herbs which have a massive germ displacing effect and thus form a natural competition to harmful germs. The product is almost identical to cdSept and is already used for this purpose in dairy cattle sheds. Experience has shown that its use in the hoof bath is helpful for a healthy hoof and stable flora. It is important to make sure that there are no residues of chemical preparations in the claw bath, otherwise the effect of MortellaroVet ProBiotic is limited. It is therefore recommended to use it in a new hoof bath. The otherwise typical problem of soiling through faeces in hoof baths is rather unproblematic when using MortellaroVet ProBiotic. By using MortellaroVet ProBiotic, the organic matter in the hoof bath becomes a medium for healthy germs and is thus able to displace the existing harmful germs. For the treatment of the running surfaces HuminoVet powder should be scattered occasionally. HuminoVet initiates the natural composting process, which helps to avoid floating layers in the liquid manure and at the same time massively displaces decaying and therefore pathogenic germs as well as Mortellaro-promoting decay germs. Due to nutritional factors the metabolism can be intensively relieved by MicroAgrar MK. The economic efficiency of MicroAgrar MK is already given by the promotion of feed conversion and thus basic feed utilization. In summary: Claw gel: for individual animal care MortellaroVet ProBiotic (from EuroTier 2012)(almost identical to cdSept): for the hoof bath HuminoVet Powder: for the treatment of damp rot areas in the stable to displace Mortellaro breeding sites) (simultaneously effective manure improver) Important: Do not use any aids (syringes, watering cans, sprayers, etc.) in which chemical disinfectants have already been used. These can destroy or reduce the effect of MortellaroVet ProBiotic.

Complementary feed (powder) for ruminants, calves, and pigsFor the nutrition-related support of the respiratory tract condition and stimulation of feedThe respiratory tract is where most animals have the greatest performance reserves. Optimal respiratory condition and thus optimized respiration have a positive influence on feed conversion and intake. With optimal respiratory condition, the susceptibility to respiratory infections is low.In nature, the animal would absorb essential oils via the fresh plants. This is hardly guaranteed in the stable keeping of ruminants, calves and pigs. The active substances contained in the essential oils are important for the condition of the respiratory tract and also for digestion. In particular, the cleaning of the respiratory tract is especially important in relation to the high germ and dust load in the stables. privet Bronchial Powder can be used throughout the entire fattening period.Composition: black cumin seed expeller, sodium chlorideAdditives/kg: Technological additives: bentonite (1m558i) 100 g, clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin (1g568) 100 g. Flavouring compounds: eucalyptus oil 56.0 g, thyme oil 5.0 g, camphor oil (2b130-eo) 2.0 g.The total amount of bentonite must not exceed the permitted maximum level in complete feedingstuff of 20000 mg/kg of complete feedingstuff. Total quantity of clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin from all sources shall not exceed the maximum content of 10000 mg/kg.Analytical constituents: crude protein 23.8%, crude fat 10.0%, crude fiber 4,8%, crude ash 23.2%, ash insoluble in HCl 16.3%, sodium 0.065%, lysine 0.84%, methionine 0.42%Feeding recommendation: Calves: ca. 6 g/animal mixed into the feed daily or 600-800 g/t feed. Rumiants/pigs: 600-800 g/t feed. The feeding quantity may be increased as required in special situations, such as stabling, stress, and weather changes.The simultaneous oral use with macrolides shall be avoided.
