Sometimes it is a bit difficult to tell if your cat has bad breath or not. When you think about it, your cat's breath is going to smell when she has just eaten her food, so how noticeable does bad breath in cats need to be before you have to take action?
As I say, you would expect your cat's breath to smell of the food she has just eaten, but that won't be a foul, nasty smell. If you can smell something worse than this advent from your cat, over a duration of time, then you need to do some investigating into the cause.
BAD
Just like us, cats can suffer from bad breath due to gum disease or tooth decay. A visit to the vet will clear the question up for you. The vet will check your cat's teeth to see if there is any sign of plaque or build up of tartar. If it has been a year since the cat last had its teeth cleaned then it is time for them to be cleaned again.
This is done under anaesthetic at the vets surgery. Decaying teeth can be removed and the rest of the teeth will be scaled and polished.
You can have a quick look at your cats teeth any time, by giving them a quick visual check. If they look yellowish, and you can see tartar, the teeth need cleaning.
Of course there is always the possibility of other causes of the cats bad breath, but if you take her to the vet, he or she will be able to tell you the cause of the smell. Feeding your cat wet cat food can make its breath smell bad. Try changing to a dry food and see if this makes a difference.
Diet and dental hygiene are the two key areas in controlling cat bad breath.
