Did you know that your cat’s bad breath could be more than just bad breath? Bad breath in general is quite common in cats and dogs. However, extremely bad breath that gets worse day by day and doesn’t go away should be a huge concern. Why? Bad breath like this is medically referred to as Halitosis and it could be the first sign of gingivitis or gum disease. Like people, cats can get gum disease or gingivitis when food builds up on their teeth causing plaque and tartar buildup. You can help stop this from happening by brushing your cat’s teeth regularly. You can use a vet approved toothbrush and toothpaste or you can use a piece of gauze to wipe down your cat’s teeth. Either way, the more you wipe down the teeth the better the breath and the least likely your cat will develop gum disease. Please consult with your recommendedvets Michigan City IN for more information.
