1. Change in eating habit - teeth may be sore or loose
2. Pawing at face - possible mouth pain
3. Depression - bacteria can overwhelm the body and make your pet lethargic
4. Mouth odor
5. Redness or bleeding along the gum lines
6. Dark or yellow teeth - may mean bacteria is in the bloodstream.
Prevention Tips:
Set up a schedule to brush your pet's teeth. Be gentle and know that some cats won't like it very much. The earlier you start, the better chance you have at success.
Have a vet check your pet's teeth and gums during any visit.
Use a pet toothbrush, not a scraping utensil.
Use antioxidant herbs or nutrients to prevent degenerative problems.
Feed your pet a natural and balanced diet. A good diet will prevent many health problems. We recommend Life's Abundance.
If you already have a case of gum problems, consider CoQ10 which has proven success rate with humans and pets.
