Why We Love It:

Designed by a holistic veterinarian, Healthy Gums by Pet Wellbeing is a potent infused herbal product with added nutrients for gum and oral health: Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin C and Zinc. It does not contain alcohol or harsh ingredients that can cause further irritation of the gums.

The base of this product is medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. Unlike regular coconut oil, MCT oil remains in a liquid state at room temperature. This oil is known for its ability to keep skin tissue healthy and provide nutrition to the layers of the skin. Furthermore, MCT oil from coconut helps to maintain the natural immunity of the tissues, assisting the skin's barrier capability.

What is Healthy Gums Used For?

Periodontal health is something every dog and cat owner needs to be aware of once a pet reaches age 2 to 3. Multiple factors determine oral health status and these will become more critical as your pet ages. In particular, consider the type of diet your pet eats (including treats) and anything else your pet chews.

Early and advanced stages of gingivitis are both reversible. The bacteria in the mouth (which builds up between the teeth and gums) will cause bad breath and this is a first clue. Additionally, the gums may appear red, inflamed and sore. Touching the gums may cause them to bleed and exude pus. If your pet is having these symptoms, it is of utmost importance to treat and reverse the problem.

If the condition advances, it can lead to periodontitis, a disease in which the supportive structures around the teeth become inflamed, leading to more infection and eventually loss of the teeth. The infection can become systemic and travel to other areas of the body.

Healthy Gums is designed to:

  • Soothe gums and oral membranes
  • Reduce bacterial growth in the mouth

Use Healthy Gums at any stage or sign of gum inflammation or any oral inflammation. As a preventative measure, use Healthy Gums intermittently to keep the oral environment balanced and resistant to bacterial growth.

Please consult with your veterinarian for a complete oral health program if your pet shows signs of canine or feline gum inflammation or disease.

A note from our veterinarian...

The bottom line is: If your pet's mouth is painful, he or she will eventually have difficulty eating. This can lead to weight loss and behavioral issues. Dental issues can often go unnoticed because dogs and cats don't show obvious signs of the discomfort they are in, until the problem is in advanced stages and the pet is eating less, becomes more withdrawn, and loses weight because chewing is too painful. Gum inflammation is painful. Preventing the advancement of gum inflammation is key to overall health and a lot of unpleasantness later on. Take some time to learn about routine oral hygiene specific to your pet.

Many dogs like to "kiss" us and we need to keep their oral hygiene at the top of our list for this reason as well.

Watch for signs that your pet may be having oral health issues, including:

  • Aversion to kibble or hard food
  • Reluctance to eat
  • Dragon breath
  • Hard, brown build-up on the teeth
  • Unusual irritability or aggression

Have a look at your pet's teeth at home and note whether the gums look swollen or red, if there is obvious build-up on the teeth (tartar) and whether there are teeth missing or loose. A really bad odor in the mouth is unmistakable and is not normal. Talk to your veterinarian if you notice any of these signs so you can develop a plan to help your pet. Healthy Gums is an excellent addition to an oral hygiene strategy and may provide relief. If the condition is serious, your dog will certainly require additional support.

Healthy Gums is Formulated With:

Calendula flower (Calendula officinalis):  The pretty, yellow-orange petals of Calendula flowers have shown antibacterial and antiviral activity. Use to support normal healing of the skin, Calendula also soothes inflamed skin and has been used for gingivitis.

Marshmallow root (Althea officinale):  The tissues of the mouth and gums are covered in a delicate layer of skin. Extracted Marshmallow root soothes this soft skin when inflamed or red and hastens the healing of those tissues. Marshmallow is high in mucilage content, a constituent that protects mucous membranes from irritation.

Goldenseal root (Hydrastis canadensis):  Goldenseal is strongly indicated to help maintain a healthy immune function throughout the body. It has been shown to have a direct affect on bacteria and viruses. and by many herbalists, is considered an essential anti-microbial in their dispensary for stubborn immune conditions. We use only cultivated Goldenseal, so as not to threaten this endangered species in the wild.

Bayberry root bark (Myrica cerifera):  Bayberry is one of the best herbal astringents, meaning that it tones and tightens smooth membranes. It works particularly well for treating the skin throughout the alimentary canal (which includes the tissues inside the mouth and the gums) and has a mild antibacterial property.

Chinese Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis):  Baikal Skullcap, high in flavonoids, has shown antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Oral preparations are used to reduce inflammation of the membranes inside the mouth.

Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra):  Also called "sweet root" and the "universal herb", Licorice demonstrates an antibacterial and antiviral affect. Licorice also has a mildly demulcent quality and a natural sweetness.

Prickly Ash bark (Zanthoxylum americanum):  Used in Native American medicine, the bark of this tree has been called "toothache bark" and possesses astringent qualities.

Coptis root (Coptis chinensis):  An herb high in berberine, Coptis is considered to have similar properties to Goldenseal. It has particular application with ulceration of mucous membranes.

Myrrh gum (Commiphora mol-mol):  One of the most well-used herbal antiseptics, Myrrh has bacteriostatic and astringent qualities that make it ideal for oral health.

Some people find it useful to apply gently and spread with a fingertip or cotton swab (Q-Tip) if the gums are not excessively inflamed. Be mindful not to cause added discomfort or pain during application as infected or inflamed gums can be extremely sensitive.

Avoid touching the dropper to infected areas to prevent contamination of the product.
