Daily eating habits also have an effect on teeth. Generally speaking, dry cat food is better than wet cat food (canned food). Wet cat food tends to accumulate tartar on teeth, while dry food is hard and brittle. Cats can scrape the surface of their teeth while biting dry food. Some owners are used to keeping cat food there all day, and cats can eat it whenever they want. In fact, this is not good, because every time you eat, the bacteria in your mouth will be more active.
Cats' teeth need constant sharpening. Many parents and mothers of cats feel distressed when they see the cat chewing cat food hard. They only give it soft meat or soaked cat food, which actually hurts it. Often give cats some hard snacks, which can not only exercise their teeth, but also help them find something to do, so as to save them from overexertion and biting. This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
2. Vegetables and fruits
Remember to regularly feed fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and high fiber. When chewing, you can rub the surface of your teeth to help clean your mouth. Pet food experts recommend eating special cat food instead of cannibalism food. In addition to being crisp and moderate, special cat food can clean teeth, and it also has a healthy formula provided by experts, which can effectively ensure the nutritional needs of cats in all aspects.
In a word, owners should feed their pets and cats with fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and high fiber. In addition to cat food, they can add some special cat food such as rough and crisp cat food and chewing gum, which can rub the surface of teeth when chewing. Such food is not only good for the health of cats, but also helpful for oral cleaning.
Cats and cats are carnivores. Meat and fish are both high-phosphorus foods and rich in animal protein. However, eating these foods alone will cause calcium deficiency. In addition, in order to prevent cats from constipation, you can give cats some fruits and vegetables, such as spinach. The ideal British shorthair cat food should contain vitamins, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, amino acids and protein, and the cooking should be light. The diet of cats is different from that of humans, so we can't take our own preferences as cat food. All cats have a common feature, that is, the digestive function of the stomach is weak, mainly reflected in the sudden change of rations. If the host changes food too suddenly, it will lead to diarrhea, but don't worry too much. As long as it is reasonably and slowly adapted to the new cat food, it is not easy to have diarrhea.
The change of cat's exercise will change the digestion and absorption ability of intestine and the filtration and detoxification function of liver and kidney. Pay more attention to the hardness of food suitable for cats, supplement trace elements such as calcium, iron and vitamins, and change foods with different tastes. Therefore, we should also pay attention to fasting indigestible food and ensure the supply of clean water to cats.
