Did you know that oral health is important for overall health? This is true for us humans and our pets. The sad fact is that by the age of three, nearly all dogs and cats show evidence of periodontal issues. That is why the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) established February as National Pet Dental Health Month. Designed to encourage pet parents to have annual dental examinations performed on their dogs, cats and horses, National Pet Dental Health Month has spent more than a decade bringing awareness about prevention and early treatment for these dental concerns
Signs your pet may have periodontal issues
- Bad breath (doggy breath is not normal!)
- Irritated gumline
- Loose teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Bleeding from the mouth
- Loss of appetite
- Frequent pawing at the face or rubbing the face on furniture or the floor
Horses face some additional challenges. As they become older, the shape and angle of their teeth begin to change and can cause issues. Understanding their specific needs by age and what symptoms to look for can help mitigate dental problems.
How Treatibles Can Help
Dogs, cats, horses and even humans with oral concerns can benefit from the addition of Organic Full Spectrum Hemp CBD Oil to their care regimen. In addition to helping the body’s normal inflammatory response, holistic dentist, Dr. Benjamin Hornstein has shared that cannabidiol (CBD) can help relieve occasional discomfort caused by gum issues in humans.
Since all animals have an endocannabinoid system – the biochemical communication system that regulates the peripheral and central nervous system (including the brain), immunological system, organs, and vital physiological functions – it stands to reason that these benefits can be experienced by our pets, too.
For topical help, we recommend applying a few drops of Treatibles 250 mg or 750 mg CBD oil to your finger and rub along your pet’s gums. This can be done as often as needed. The organic MCT coconut oil base in Treatibles oil dropper bottles can support the body’s normal ability to fight bacteria.
Taken internally, the full spectrum hemp CBD oil in all Treatibles products can address discomfort from the inside out, support the immune system and instill calm. To learn more about how to care for your pet’s teeth and gums, click here.
