Natural Hemp-Derived CBD Products For Your Fur Kids
All Products Created with Pet Safe Natural Ingredients
Hemp-derived products, like CBD, work with a pet's endocannabinoid system, which helps to regulate several body systems. This may help your fur kid in a number of ways. The main reasons why pet parents choose to give their pet CBD oil or treats include to:
​
• Help calm anxious pets
• Relieve pain (especially joint pain)
• Help with seizures
• Calm allergy symptoms
• Avoid having to use prescription medications
​Promoting a sense of calm
CBD can work quickly in relieving your dog’s stress when given by mouth, typically taking between 5 to 20 minutes to work. The effects of hemp on stress are most effective when given over a period of time, so if your dog is often stressed, a daily hemp treat may be best.
Many dog & cat parents find CBD to be effective to relieve stress due to separation, loud noises (e.g., fireworks), crowds, and strangers.
Easing Pain
Whether your pet has joint stiffness, nerve pain, or another form of pain, CBD can ease your pet’s discomfort without the harmful side effects of pain medications. The naturally-occurring hemp binds to receptors in the brain and nervous system, altering the way your pet perceives pain.
Joint and Mobility Issues
The pain medications usually prescribed by a vet for joint problems can have a number of side effects, including kidney and liver damage. Mobility soft chews and treats with hemp can have a similar soothing effect on the joints but without the same risk of side effects.​
Reducing Seizures
A study by Colorado State University showed that in 89% of dogs with epilepsy that received hemp their seizures were significantly reduced. This demonstrates that hemp may be a viable option in treating seizures in dogs, but without the side effects of certain antiepileptic medications. This can also assist other animals like cats and horses.
Maintaining Allergies
Allergies in pets can be difficult to treat, and skin conditions can be really distressing for our furry friends. CBD treats can help relieve itchy, dry, and irritated skin, as well as stimulate the growth of new healthy skin cells.
​Side Effects of Giving Your Dog CBD Treats
While the research on the side effects of CBDon animals is still in its infancy, there are some potential side effects based on how hemp has been shown to affect humans, These include:
• Dry mouth, which may lead to poor dental health.
• Lethargy and drowsiness, which could indicate a too large dose.
• Low blood pressure, which may cause a temporary feeling of light-headedness in your pet.
• Upset stomach, diarrhea, and vomiting, especially if your pet is new to hemp.
• Overactive appetite.
• In rarer cases, increased seizures and impaired mental functioning.​
