Feline dental problems, much like humans, start with the accumulation of plaque. Plaque is a mixture of salivary minerals, bacteria and food particles and sticks as a thin film on teeth and gums.

If plaque is not removed within three to five days of formation, it combines with minerals from the saliva and forms tartar, a hard incrustation that binds strongly to the teeth. Tartar irritates gums and causes Gingivitis or Inflammation of the gums that can be seen as reddened gums and leads to exposure of the roots of teeth. Gingivitis is one of the major causes behind feline Bad Breath.

You need to tend to your cat’s teeth just as you would your own. It depends upon you whether you want to do it yourself at home or take your pet to the veterinarian every time you see signs like cat Bad Breath or drooling or refusal to eat.

If you are considering a guinea pig as a pet, you need to consider feeding him before you actually bring him home. Feeding a guinea pig is much more complex than feeding cats or dogs. Overall, guinea pigs require water, pellets, hay, and fruits and vegetables. Let’s take a look at each nutritional need.

Water – Your guinea pig should have fresh water, delivered via water bottle, everyday. Be sure to purchase a water bottle that is specifically designed for guinea pigs, as he is likely to chew other types beyond recognition. Check his water at least twice a day, remembering that water bottles are not very big. Keep the water bottle full.

Pellets – You can find pellets designed specifically for guinea pigs in pet stores and through online resources. Of course manufacturers will make lots of claims, especially concerning vitamin C, but you shouldn’t pay any attention to those claims, as will be discussed later.
