Why does my cat's mouth always stink? What causes the cat's bad breath?

Many owners report that cats' mouths are smelly, and every time they open their mouths, there will be an unbearable smell. So why do cats have bad breath? What should cats do with bad breath? Here are several reasons and solutions.

1. vitamin deficiency

Cats are not balanced in nutrition, and only eat meat for a long time, and their intake of vitamins and cellulose is low, which is easy to produce bad breath. It is suggested to use more vitamins instead of cat food, usually give cats more fruits and vegetables, and mix some vitamin B powder in the food.

2. Gastrointestinal dyspepsia

Cats have poor digestive ability and usually do not develop good eating habits. They often eat too fast and full. There are not enough digestive enzymes and beneficial bacteria in the stomach to digest food, and food will ferment in the stomach to produce gas, thus forming bad breath.

In view of the bad breath caused by indigestion, it is necessary to limit the cat's food intake, give the cat seven or eight points full, replace it with easily digestible food, and mix some probiotics into the food. After the cat's stomach and intestines return to normal, the bad breath will gradually disappear.

3. Dental calculus in oral cavity

There is tartar (food residue) on cats' teeth, which can also cause bad breath, just like bad breath caused by people not brushing their teeth for a long time. Therefore, it is recommended to brush your teeth regularly and clean your mouth with a special toothbrush for cats once a week. The dental calculus is serious, so it is recommended to go to the hospital to ask a doctor to wash the cat's teeth and remove the dental calculus.

4. Suffering from oral diseases

Cats with oral diseases can also cause bad breath. At the same time, cats like smelly saliva, their gums become red and swollen, and their mouths have ulcers. Cats have difficulty swallowing and don't eat. Generally speaking, these symptoms can be clearly observed by the owner.

When there is something wrong with the cat's mouth, it is necessary to send it to the doctor for symptomatic treatment in time.
