As they grow older, dogs can develop canine gum disease (dog
gingivitis). Gingivitis can start in dogs once they are three years
old.
Dogs can develop calculus around their gums. Calculus is a brown
substance full of bacteria that eventually causes the gums to
recede. With the roots exposed, the teeth and gums are in danger of
infection. A gingivitis gum infection can cause even a kidney or
heart disease in your dog.
The right dog dental care is crucial for the prevention of canine
gingivitis: Regular brushing (twice a week) with dog toothpaste
can prevent canine gingivitis. It is also recommended to have your
dog’s teeth cleaned professionally every other year so the bacteria
that may have accumulated in the calculus are entirely removed.
Tea tree oil
has long been known for its many health benefits, also in animal
health products. In fact tea tree oil has approximately 40 different
chemical properties that have all been tested in laboratories. Some
of the most important chemical properties are the antibacterial
activity against a wide range of bacteria and the anti-inflammatory
effect of tea tree oil.
Manuka Oil
is not as popular as regular tea tree oil yet, although it is now
proven to have the same chemical properties as tea tree oil
and at the same time to be 30 times stronger than regular tea
tree oil. That is why many tea tree oil users have switched to
Manuka Oil which also seems to be non-allergenic as opposed
to tea tree oil. Natural Manuka Oil is mild, yet effective,
and has no known side effects.
The antibacterial and the anti-inflammatory effects of
Manuka Oil are the ones making it an ideal treatment for canine
gingivitis.
More and more pet owners now trust Manuka Oil for canine
gingivitis. Manuka Oil can help fighting the bacteria that
accumulate in the calculus around the gums of the animal. Thereby it can
help to slow down or prevent the development of gingivitis in dogs.
The anti-inflammatory properties of Manuka Oil can help
reduce and soothe the inflammation of the gums.
