Cat bad breath is caused by many reasons. For example, cats are often fed raw meat, pork liver, canned and other meat products, and there will be food residues in the mouth, which will then become rotten and smelly. Cats do not brush their teeth every day like humans. There will inevitably be food residues in the mouth, which will nourish bacteria and develop dental calculus over time, causing oral odor.

What other factors cause cats to have bad mouth?

Gingivitis, dental calculus, tooth loss, oral ulcers, etc. are all caused by oral bacteria. It is recommended that the owner take the cat to the hospital for treatment. After your cat recovers, clean its mouth regularly to reduce the time that food residue remains in the mouth and reduce the chance of bacterial growth.

Digestive system problems

When food is not decomposed smoothly by the digestive system, it will cause the food to ferment in the cat's intestines and stomach, and the odor after fermentation will emit from the cat's mouth. In addition, constipation and diarrhea are also caused by indigestion, so they may also cause bad breath in cats. It is recommended that cats take appropriate amounts of gastrointestinal health foods, such as digestive enzymes and probiotics, to help them digest and absorb the nutrients of food.

Lack of vitamin B

Usually this is caused by the owner only feeding a single feed for a long time, or the cat's intestines are abnormal and cannot absorb nutrients normally. Feed is processed food, and the original nutrients of the food are easily lost during processing. It is suggested that owners can occasionally change the menu for cats, such as feeding staple food cans, fresh raw meat, or homemade fresh food to cats, which are all very good choices. Increase the variety of your cat’s food to prevent uneven nutritional intake.

Physical illness

Cat renal failure: Progressive renal failure can cause oral mucosal ulcers and produce an unpleasant odor. This problem can be fundamentally solved by treating kidney function and its associated complications. If kidney failure is in advanced stages, your mouth may have a sour smell. Diabetes: High blood sugar will increase the burden on the body and weaken the body's immune system, leading to excessive bacterial reproduction, unhealthy teeth, and bad breath symptoms when developing diseases.
