Can CBD Oil Help Prevent Gum Disease In Dogs?

CBD Tincture can ease pain in dogs.

Hey pet pals! 🐾 We’ve researched how to keep your fur buddies’ teeth sparkly clean, but what if your pet is already dealing with toothy troubles or gum disease?

The smart people at the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) say that by the time your furry friend hits three years old, almost all of them will have some kind of mouth mischief.

Signs of Gum Disease in Dogs

Here are signs that your dog might be facing gum drama:

  1. Stinky breath (not the normal doggy perfume!)
  2. Red gums
  3. Wiggly teeth
  4. Teeth that look different colors
  5. Mouth bleeding
  6. Not feeling hungry
  7. Pawing at the face or rubbing it on stuff

The most common reason for a sore mouth is gum disease. CBD Tincture can be like a cool sidekick by calming down the inflammation and supporting your pet’s natural ability to fight off pesky bacteria which is often the troublemaker behind gum issues. Just put a few drops on your pet’s gums with the easy-to-use dropper bottle.

It’s important to note that while these natural remedies can help prevent and manage early stages of gum disease, advanced periodontal disease requires professional veterinary treatment. Always consult with a veterinarian before starting any new treatment regimen for your dog.
