In this blog we highlight a natural approach with CBD Spain oil Extra Strong 30% , supported by the successful recovery story of cat Minou . This experience offers new perspectives for both owners and veterinarians who are open to complementary care for chronic gingivitis in cats .

What is Gingivitis in Cats?

Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums, usually caused by an excess of bacteria in the mouth. Symptoms include:

• Fire red and swollen gums

• Difficulty eating or chewing

• Excessive salivation

• Bad breath

• Withdrawn behavior

The exact cause often remains unclear. Bacterial biofilms, viral load (including calicivirus), immune problems or even food allergies can contribute. This makes gingivitis difficult to cure completely , and many veterinarians experience a lack of sustainable treatment options.

CBDa Oil for Cats – How Does It Work?

The CBD Spain Extra Strong 30% oil is an organic full spectrum CBDa oil , handcrafted from cannabis plants. Unique to this oil is the full spectrum of cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes. These active substances support, among other things:

• The anti-inflammatory effect

• The balance of the immune system

• Resistance to bacteria, viruses and fungi

In cats, the oil is often applied externally through the skin on the neck. This is safe and effective, as the skin is a large and highly permeable organ.

Please note: The 30% percentage refers to the extract content in the bottle, not pure CBDa. This sometimes causes confusion, but the dilution with olive oil makes it suitable for cats when used correctly.

Minou's Recovery Story – From Chronic Gingivitis to Healthy Gums

Minou is a cat who was diagnosed with gingivitis as a kitten. For nine years she continued to struggle with inflamed gums. In April 2024, her owner, on advice, started using CBD Spain Extra Strong 30% oil , diluted with a drop of olive oil, administered daily through the skin.

Findings over the months:

• August 2024 : Gums have visibly improved: from bright red to dark pink. The inflammation is clearly decreasing.

• September 2024 : During a flea infestation, it is noticeable that Minou, unlike her housemates, hardly has any fleas . Presumably due to increased resistance thanks to CBDa oil.

• February 2025 : The gingivitis has disappeared for the first time in 9 years. The drops have now been stopped. A check-up at the vet will follow in June for dental cleaning and bioresonance.

What Makes CBD Spain Oil So Special?

• Full spectrum : Contains all active ingredients from the cannabis plant

• Organically grown : No pesticides or artificial additives

• Handcrafted : Small, controlled process for optimum quality

• Test reports available : For maximum transparency and safety

CBDa oil from CBD Spain has a broad effect and can therefore be a valuable addition to conditions involving the immune system, inflammatory processes or microbial load.

What Can Veterinarians Do With This?

Although CBD products are not yet standard in veterinary medicine, full spectrum CBDa oils such as those from CBD Spain offer interesting possibilities as complementary support. Especially in the case of chronic inflammation , low resistance , or immune-mediated complaints , they can contribute to reducing medication use , promoting recovery , and increasing quality of life .

Conclusion: Natural Support for Gingivitis in Cats

Minou's recovery shows what is possible with the right approach. The CBD Spain Extra Strong 30% oil is powerful, safe to use and offers a natural addition to conventional care. Thanks to its holistic effect on the immune system, this oil offers perspective for chronic conditions such as gingivitis.

Collaboration with Veterinarians

We work closely with a number of veterinarians who are affiliated with the SNVA (Dutch Veterinary Acupuncture Foundation) . This collaboration strengthens the bridge between regular and complementary veterinary medicine. Annette recently gave these veterinarians the masterclass “Help heal with CBD oil in animals – but which one and how?” in which the practical application of CBDa oil for various complaints, including chronic inflammations such as gingivitis, was discussed in detail.
