Does your dog suffer from ailments?
Whether it be allergies, anxiety, cancer or joint problems, there are various pills your vet can prescribe to treat your furry companion’s health issues. But have you ever considered CBD oil for dogs?
Of course, you want to do what’s best for your pup. And whilst there is a lot of information floating around the internet about using CBD oil for dogs, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.
What is CBD oil?
CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is a compound derived from the Cannabis sativa plant – not to be confused with its cousin, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). THC is the compound that gives marijuana its psychoactive properties and can be toxic to animals.
CBD oil is used by humans as a natural remedy for a host of health problems – ranging from anxiety and depression to acute and chronic arthritis pain, epileptic seizures, insomnia and inflammation, to name just a few.
How can it benefit dogs?
Whilst there has been no formal study on how CBD affects dogs, scientists do know that the cannabinoid interacts with your pet’s endocannabinoid receptors in exactly the same way as it does in the human body.
These receptors are located in the central peripheral nervous systems and help to regulate sleep, pain, appetite, immunity and so much more.
Although more evidence is required, CBD oil for dogs shows potential for reducing symptoms typically associated with anxiety – ultimately improving your pet’s mood and behaviour.
CBD oil is also believed to help dogs who have seizure disorders, providing a sense of calm and relaxation to prevent severe seizures.
Many pet owners also use CBD oil for dogs for its anti-inflammatory properties, which is particularly helpful for four-legged friends who appear to be in discomfort or suffer from skin conditions.
