No they are not. ANSWER The vast majority of Infectious Diseases only affect one species, so diseases that hurt dogs -- parvo virus for example -- will not generally attack a human. It follows then that a cat's mouth, while not cleaner than a human's, will contain fewer bactiera, virii,etc. that would infect a human. However, in terms of cleanliness, cats' mouths are no cleaner than your own.

Why dont cats have a cleaner mouth than a dog?

Yes, a cat's mouth is cleaner than a human's, and possibly cleaner than a dog's, too. The saliva that destroys germs and keeps the mouth clean is more powerful in cats than it is in humans or dogs. It needs to be this way because cats use their mouths to clean themselves often. It is safe to share a Popsicle with a cat!

Why are dogs' mouths cleaner that humans?

Dogs' mouths are not necessarily cleaner than humans' mouths; this is a common misconception. While dogs have certain enzymes in their saliva that can help fight off some bacteria, they also carry bacteria specific to their species that can be harmful to humans. Additionally, dogs do not practice good dental hygiene like humans do, which can contribute to the buildup of bacteria in their mouths.


Do dogs have cleaner mouths then cats?

A cat's mouth is cleaner. The average cat mouth has about 16-18 different types of bacteria, while the dog mouth has over 60 different types. They tend to have less because they open their mouths less often, thus not attracting so many microorganisms from the outside world, while the dog is constantly panting and breathing heavily through their mouths. Another reason because of this is that dogs tend to lick and bite things more than cats, whether it's exploring a new object or person that came into the house, drinking toilet water, or eating dirty socks. Cats, on the other hand, sniff and paw things when they want to play and only occasionally bite. A cat's mouth is also cleaner because of their eating habits.
