Natural dental care for dogs
– is the best decision, because our own experience also shows dog people that synthetic additives are the cause of diseases and allergies. Dental care is a must. If the bacteria enter the body, they damage the heart and kidneys. And the perfect scissor bite – where all teeth interlock perfectly – has become rare. Therefore, the mechanical abrasion is usually not sufficient to keep the mouth bacteria in check.
What criteria apply for natural dental care for dogs?
Natural dental care for dogs should consist of 100 % natural ingredients and should not cause any side effects when used. Not all dental care that appears natural at first glance is really natural. Here are two examples:
- white strips of beef hide
The beautiful white cowhide that is still sold en masse. Bleached with lots of chlorine so that they are pure white like clean teeth, they also contain heavy metals that are used in leather production.
- Algae products
More and more algae products are being offered – as food supplements and for cleaning teeth.
A study on microcystins in algae products as food supplements by Bavarian State Office for Health recommends against continuous use due to health risks , as the microcystins are highly toxic and are considered tumor promoters.
In addition, the limit for iodine in seaweed for dogs is = 15 mcg/kg bw per day. This means that a 10 kg dog must not be given more than 0.2 g of seaweed, even for removing tartar. The feeding recommendations are usually 50 times higher. The oversupply with iodine resembles the symptoms of an underactive thyroid gland with hair loss, lethargy, bone deformation, etc.
What alternatives are there for raw bones and meat strips?
Genetic predisposition, special dentition (overbite) or intolerances are the reason to look for something new. There are various naturally antibacterial
Plants or herbs or, for example, virgin coconut oil. It is antibacterial, antiviral and
also combats inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Add 1 teaspoon to the food at mealtimes. Many dogs like to lick it pure. It can also be rubbed directly onto the gums.
Doubly effective are cheese bones. They not only have a mechanical abrasion effect, but are also naturally antibacterial. The protein complex attaches itself to the cell walls of the bacteria and destroys them. This prevents them from multiplying. Bad breath disappears, plaque and even tartar dissolve.
What else can cheese bones do?
They are truly multi-talented. The special recipe contains only superfoods:
– 30% cottage cheese, buckwheat (no cereals) or rice, rapeseed oil, organic coconut oil,
Free from additives, they are 100% natural and completely without side effects. Cheese bones are therefore also suitable for sick dogs. This is because bacterial contamination is particularly difficult for them.
They can also be spared anesthesia and antibiotics.
By the way: the evening ritual with the QCHEFS bedtime snacks doesn’t hit your hips, because the three cheese treats for brushing your teeth have just 15 kcal
