What is CBD for Dogs & Pets?
Studies show that all mammals have an endocannabinoid system that helps regulate the immune system and assists to stabilize other systems, including appetite, sleep, mood, and pain. CBD serves as a natural supplement to improve the effectiveness of this system.
Why Can’t I Use My CBD Oil for Humans on My Dog?
You can. But, our hemp-based CBD oil for pets is carefully crafted to provide only the best experience for you and your pet. That’s why we use Olive Oil as opposed to MCT Oil, along with a nice bacon flavor to sweeten the deal.  Dogs and cats often have more sensitive digestive systems than humans, which is why pet owners should find CBD oil that is suspended in olive oil and more easily digestible than MCT oil. Well, enough said. You get the point.
How Does Hemp for Dogs Work?
Just like for humans, CBD interacts with our pets’ Endocannabinoid system – CBD has been shown to work with all mammals since we all have an endocannabinoid system. While there are more studies to be done for all pets, one study from 2018 indicates that CBD may increase comfort and activity levels for dogs with osteoarthritis, while another study from 2019 suggests that CBD may also be beneficial for dogs with seizures. A third study evaluates the efficacy of different CBD treatments and reports that CBD oil tinctures for dogs and cats is the best delivery method for our furry friends when compared to topicals and capsules.
