Support your kitty’s dental health with Vetafarm Lovebites DentaShield for Cats – tasty chews designed to protect teeth and gums.
As cats age, their gumline naturally recedes, creating small pockets around their teeth where bacteria can accumulate and form plaque.
Combined with calcium from their diets, this plaque hardens into tartar, which usually requires a veterinarian’s intervention under anaesthesia to remove.
Tartar formation is common in pet cats since they often consume wet food and kibble over their entire life span, with no mechanical friction to the teeth that a wild cat might experience.
Consequently, their teeth become prone to disease, brittleness, and extraction.
Furthermore, dental issues can have serious repercussions throughout the body.
- If tartar is allowed to persist for years, the bacteria present can:
- Develop and release toxins that strain the liver as it tries to filter them out. When the burden becomes overwhelming, toxins pass through to the kidneys, leading to further damage. This is why liver and kidney issues are prevalent among older cats!
- Invade the bloodstream directly, causing life-threatening septicaemia.
Brushing your cat’s teeth is simply not practical, so practise the below tips to keep your feline feelin’ fine!
- Schedule dental checkups with your veterinarian every 12-18 months.
- Support their dental health by incorporating daily supplementation with Lovebites’ DentaShield for Cats, inhibiting plaque growth and halting tartar formation.
Lovebites DentaShield for Cats comes in packs of 60.
It features Norwegian Brown Kelp for plaque reduction, and SHMP to minimise tartar build-up.
