It does not contain alcohol or harsh ingredients that can cause further irritation of the gums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Healthy Gums Used For?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeriodontal health is something every dog owner needs to be aware of once a canine 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly 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 canine is having these symptoms, it is of utmost importance to treat and reverse the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the condition advances, it can lead to periodontitis, a condition 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHealthy Gums is designed to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoothe gums and oral membranes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduce bacterial growth in the mouth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease consult with your veterinarian for a complete oral health program if your pet shows signs of canine gum inflammation or disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note from our veterinarian...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottom line is: If your dog'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 don't show obvious signs of the discomfort they are in, until the problem is in advanced stages and the dog 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany dogs like to \"kiss\" us and we need to keep their oral hygiene at the top of our list for this reason as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch for signs that your pet may be having oral health issues, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAversion to kibble or hard food\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReluctance to eat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDragon breath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard, brown build-up on the teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnusual irritability or aggression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave a look at your canine'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Role of Nutrition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany references talk about kibble cleaning a dog's teeth. This is simply not true, any more than a diet of crackers helps to clean a person's teeth. Consider giving your canine a \"natural toothbrush\" of raw bones every week to help maintain oral health and naturally scrape the teeth as your dog gnaws on the bones. Many experts feel that a raw meat diet is the best, in terms of oral health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTalk to your butcher about bones for your dog. You can keep them in the freezer and even give them to your dog frozen to avoid contamination. We recommend letting your dog chew these outside as they can be messy! Take them away after a couple hours and never give raw meat to your dog if it has been at room temperature long enough to spoil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it Come With a Guarantee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes!
