In this blog post, we explain a natural approach with CBD Spain Extra Strong 30% oil , 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:

• Bright red and swollen gums

• Difficulty eating or chewing

• Excessive salivation

• Bad breath

• Withdrawn behavior

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

CBDa Oil for Cats – How Does It Work?

CBD Spain Extra Strong 30% oil is an organic, full-spectrum CBDa oil , handcrafted from cannabis plants. Unique to this oil is its full spectrum of cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes. These active ingredients 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.

Note: The 30% percentage refers to the extract content in the bottle, not pure CBDa. This sometimes causes confusion, but due to the dilution with olive oil, it is 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. She struggled with inflamed gums for nine years. In April 2024, her owner, on her advice, started using CBD Spain Extra Strong 30% oil , diluted with a drop of olive oil, applied daily to the skin.

Findings over the months:

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

• September 2024 : During a flea infestation, it's noticeable that Minou, unlike her housemates, has hardly any fleas . This is likely due to a boosted immune system thanks to CBDa oil.

• February 2025 : The gingivitis has disappeared for the first time in nine years. The drops have since been stopped. A vet checkup is scheduled for 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

CBD Spain 's CBDa oil has a broad spectrum of effects and can therefore be a valuable addition to conditions involving the immune system, inflammatory processes, or microbial burden.

What Can Veterinarians Do With This?

Although CBD products aren't yet standard in veterinary medicine, full-spectrum CBDa oils like those from CBD Spain offer interesting possibilities as complementary support. Especially for chronic inflammation , low immunity , or immune-mediated complaints , they can help reduce medication use , promote recovery , and increase quality of life .

Conclusion: Natural Support for Gingivitis in Cats

Minou's recovery demonstrates what's possible with the right approach. CBD Spain Extra Strong 30% oil is potent, safe to use, and offers a natural complement to conventional care. Thanks to its holistic effect on the immune system, this oil offers perspectives for chronic conditions like gingivitis.

Collaboration with Veterinarians

We work closely with several veterinarians affiliated with the SNVA (Dutch Veterinary Acupuncture Foundation) . This collaboration strengthens the bridge between conventional and complementary veterinary medicine. Annette recently gave these veterinarians the masterclass "Healing with CBD oil in animals – but which one and how?" This course extensively discussed the practical application of CBDa oil for a variety of conditions, including chronic inflammation like gingivitis.
