Your Cat Needs a Dental Routine Too

(This article was taken from a Simply Kindhearted Newsletter from January 2021)

Dental health is important to your cat’s overall health, so make sure you add preventative dental health routines to your daily schedule. Simply Kind Hearted has the perfect functional treat to support your cat’s health!

Healthy teeth for a cat are similar to a human – clean, white, and strong. Just like humans, your cat’s gums should appear pink and healthy without any sores, lesions, redness, or bleeding. And your cat’s breath should be fresh without any foul odour.

8 out of 10 cats over three years old experience teeth and gum problems. Bacteria, debris, and plaque accumulate on the outside of cats’ teeth. This coating will harden over time to form tartar which can lead to irritation of the gums and can cause gingivitis, and tooth loss.

Oral pain and inflammation can make it hard for your cat to eat or drink. The bacteria may enter your cat’s bloodstream which can damage their kidneys and other vital organs.

Bad breath or any foul odour can be a sign of infection in your cat’s mouth or another part of their body. It can signal many things such as periodontal disease or dental disease.

If you notice any symptoms we always recommend checking with your veterinarian.

Getting your cat to allow you to brush their teeth may be challenging, which is why Simply Kind Hearted Dental Care Munchables crunchy cat treats are simply the perfect way to supplement your cat’s dental routine.

Dental Care Munchables are the optimal treat to give your cat daily for overall dental health. They contain cellulose which supports the abrasion of plaque and sodium hexametaphosphate to prevent the calcification of bacterial deposits.
