animalEO Dog Breath LITE Essential Oils 5ml

Dog Breath LITE is a blend packed full of essential oils beneficial for dog and cat dental health.

Rubbing Dog Breath LITE onto a chew toy, adding it to toothpaste, applying to the gums and teeth, or even offering “Dog Breath Drinking Water” is a great way to get young animals accustomed and set up for a lifetime of healthy habits.

Copaiba is recognized for having anti-inflammatory properties, as well as anti-bacterial and pro-healing abilities. Many studies have documented increased healing speeds of wounds, protection of other organs such as liver and kidneys, and of course safety as well. What we see clinically is just that. A safe, mild, almost tasteless essential oil, that supports the reduction of inflammation of gums and mucosa, aides in healing, and may reduce discomfort. All while helping out other areas of the body that may be stressed or taxed by other disease or by the dental issues themselves. Ask any veterinarian, and they will tell you that oral bacteria is hard on the body. Entering the blood stream and increasing stress to kidneys, liver, heart, and urinary system.

Peppermint has long been known for its particular actions – from anti-nausea to breath deodorant. But this research article maps out the actions of Peppermints main constituent – Menthol – and how it contributes to analgesia and inflammatory pain relief.

Helichrysum is widely recognized in the aromatherapy community as being beneficial to nerves (note: if you’ve ever experienced tooth pain – your tooth equals one giant nerve!) From receding gums, exposed tooth roots, chipped teeth, or broken teeth – nerves carry the message loud and clear – I HURT! But of course, it is in all animals’ nature to hide pain, so we are rarely aware of it until the condition is advanced. Helichrysum is also amazing in so many other ways, and clinically we have seen reductions in bleeding, decreases in inflammation and infection, and speedy healing whenever Helichrysum is added to a protocol.

Myrrh has been used for decades in the dental community for a variety of explanations. Myrrh is well recognized for its anti-inflammatory abilities as stated in THIS research article. While we cannot always have research articles for a direct dental outcome – it is noteworthy that anti-inflammatory and health promoting properties – do tend to work on multiple areas of the body.

Ingredients: Fractionated Coconut Oil, Essential Oils of Copaiba (Copaifera officinalis), Peppermint (Mentha piperita), Helichrysum (H. italicum), Myrrh (Comminphora myrrha)

5ml bottle

Directions for use: 

Dogs: Gently apply a drop of Dog Breath LITE to your dog’s gum line. To add to drinking water, use 4 drops per 4 cups of water. You can also add a drop or two to organic coconut oil to create a toothpaste. If your dog is scheduled for a dental cleaning, with or without possible extractions, using Dog Breath LITE for at least 1 week prior to the event will be highly beneficial to your dog’s ability to heal. Don’t worry if you don’t have a full week, even one application can be helpful. And, of course, long term use is just fine as well! Use alongside of other medications, antibiotics, or pain medications indicated for your dog’s dental procedure is perfectly fine.

Remember, Dog Breath LITE Drops are not for diffusion as they have coconut oil within them!

Cats: Gently apply a drop of Dog Breath LITE to your cat’s gum line. To add to drinking water, use 4 drops per 4 cups of water. Make sure to also provide plain drinking water. You can also add a drop or two to organic coconut oil to create a toothpaste. If your cat does not enjoy Dog Breath LITE, you can use KittyBoost topically, allowing your cat to groom beneficial oils into their mouth instead of applying blends into their mouth directly.
