Have you ever thought about dental care for your cat? Many cat owners underestimate the dental hygiene of their animal - and unfortunately dental diseases are increasing: every second cat over five years has suffered or suffers from corresponding problems.
Tartar plays a relatively large role in dental problems. It shows up in the form of deposits on the whole tooth or often only in the transition area from the gum to the tooth. You can usually recognize it by its yellowish to brownish color. First of all, food residues on a cat's teeth can cause plaque, These deposits of bacteria and minerals in the saliva can further harden to tartar.
If your cat has tartar, it is advisable to have a professional teeth cleaning done by the vet. The tartar is removed partly mechanically, partly by special ultrasound devices and the tooth surface is polished.
So that tartar or other dental problems do not occur at all, the appropriate hygiene is very important. If you train your cat to groom her teeth from an early age, you can probably even brush your teeth with special toothbrushes and creams.
By offering your cat dry food, you will support their dental health by reducing the amount of food left in the interdental spaces, Chewing the croquettes also strengthens the chewing device and the tooth retention device, which can prevent tooth loss in cats. Your cat has to chew the food particularly thoroughly, which additionally promotes the mechanical abrasion of rubbers. You can't completely prevent tartar build-up with dry food, but you can at least delay it. But you don't have to do without wet food completely: All Happy Cat croquettes are also ideal for mixing into wet food. Especially the X-Large croquette from Happy Cat Adult Large Breed or the also larger croquette from Happy Cat Adult Voralpen-Rind encourage wet tooth lovers to care for their teeth.
