CBD and Your Pets


CBD and Dog

As more and more humans are turning to the benefits of CBD oil, pet owners are thinking about how they can share the benefits with their four-legged friends! Whether your furry family members include dogs or cats, our CBD for pets will allow them to enjoy the same CBD goodness as you!


CBD offers the same benefits to animals as it does to you! Because animals and humans are so similar in physiology, both bodily systems can be positively affected by CBD in the same ways. If you want to boost your pet's overall wellness, support a sense of calm and comfort, or help them manage daily stress, CBD for pets will be a great and rewarding option for both you and your beloved.


 

What is CBD and how does it work in my pet's body?

Most of us are familiar with cannabinoids, these are the chemicals in the cannabis plant that gives it its medical and recreational properties. There are over 100 cannabinoids in the cannabis plant, all of which interact with different receptors in the body resulting in different effects from the classic THC “high” to the anti-inflammatory properties from CBD.


We know what you’re thinking – but you can ‘relax, man’! Although CBD oil is made from hemp, it doesn’t contain any of the psychoactive properties found in other cannabis compounds. So no, your pet won’t get ‘high’.


Cannabidiol (CBD), one of the main active constituents of the cannabis plant is a safe, all-natural remedy to a number of canine health issues.


This is because just like humans, most animals to roam our earth possess an endocannabinoid system (ECS). This body's own signaling system regulates close to all physiological processes in the body. Ranging from pain and mood regulation to controlling hunger and temperature. All these processes are balanced by receptors which react to endocannabinoids - elements in our bodies (and our pets) should naturally produce.


Though, in some cases our body is unable to produce or process enough endocannabinoids on its own; this can result in all kinds of discomfort and ailments. This is where CBD comes into action!


The Endocannabinoid System in Cats and Dogs


How does CBD interact with my pet’s endocannabinoid system?

An Israeli chemist, Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, discovered that this organic compound has the incredible ability to connect molecularly with certain receptors in your body and your pet’s body. When CBD enters your pet’s body, it indirectly influences their ECS to utilize more of their naturally occurring endocannabinoids, CBD also interacts with the enzymes that are responsible for breaking down endocannabinoid’s like Anandamide (the molecule responsible for invoking happiness and harmony in the body). Anandamide is a short-lived molecule, so when you give your pet CBD, it interferes with these enzymes allowing them to stay in their system longer.


How CBD works in your pets body:

So, when you give your pet CBD the cannabinoids act as a key within the endocannabinoid system while receptors act like locks, every time one key fits into one lock, the lock causes an effect to occur in the body. Just like little messengers sending out a message to tell their body that something is not right. The chemical imbalance needs to be put right and CBD can help make this happen.

The most common delivery method for CBD for pets is via CBD oil. If your pet is willing, you can place drops directly into their mouths under their tongue (called sublingually in industry terms). But if your pet is resistant to this method, the easiest method is to apply drops to their food.


Will my Vet recommend CBD?

Although CBD is a safe, popular option for pets, some veterinarians may still be hesitant to recommend it. Although many veterinarians do see the benefits from CBD. Even if your vet has not mentioned CBD, it is still important to talk to him or her about all the aspects of your pets health, including the fact that you are giving CBD to your pet.
