Organic oil of oregano is a powerful antioxidant with powerful antibiotic & and anti fungal properties- You have to shop very carefully for it- It has to be wild oregano! It's very HOT- only a few drops- to purified water- It is fabulous for dog teeth health- I have used this for myself- highly recommend it!

One note that I feel the need to address as far as oregano and oregano oil is that it has been noted in many publications that those ingredients can trigger seizures in a seizure prone human or canine even if they've never had a seizure before. If an animal or person does suffer from seizures, it's an ingredient on the list of ones to avoid. I have a step- daughter that suffers from seizures and she's been told to avoid oregano, period. I also have a dog that had a one time gran mal seizure after being exposed to oregano oil and her vet told me to avoid oregano with her in any form. Removed the oregano oil from her diet and she's never had a seizure again.

Hi Carin,
Nice work! I've no experience with the oil, but it must be intense having it in your mouth! Wow, strong stuff.
What I'm suggesting is much easier and less objectionable. And that's if you really feel "infection" is to be feared. The experts don't seem to think so here. I would agree with them for a change.
