Best CBD for Dogs

Many people do not know that CBD is just as useful for dogs as it is for people, so there are many reasons to give your dog CBD. Below you will find our favorite ways to use CBD for dogs.

With a soothing, calming effect in both humans and animals alike, this non-intoxicating compound is an excellent way to help manage daily stress in your dog. This is even more important coming out of the pandemic... many dogs have gotten used to their parents being home all day and now that people are returning to work, the dog’s day and routine have been disrupted. This can lead to an increase in uneasiness, excessive barking, destruction of your property, and unpleasant feelings for your dog.

Many dogs find themselves suffering from general pain as they age and this can increase as they pace and move around more due to loneliness.

CBD is being studied for many potential health benefits, many that can be especially important to your dog who may be suffering from food allergies or other environmental sensitivities. CBD used in conjunction with a raw or natural diet has shown great benefits for dogs in a few studies.

Keep in mind that CBD is not a miracle worker, nor a drug and a visit and conversation with your dogs veterinarian is a must before starting CBD for your dog.

As you can see, CBD can be greatly beneficial to your dog. Many pet parents give their dog a daily dose for general health and wellness and not necessarily for any specific ailment. CBD can be a good addition to a healthy diet for your dog.

CBD is derived from the hemp plant. This is a cannabis sativa plant that has a THC level below 0.3% (in the USA) and allows for the extraction of all the healthy compounds found in hemp. Hemp is different from cannabis with a THC level greater than 0.3% as that is the plant that will get you high. Because dogs are extremely sensitive to the effects of THC, it is very important to avoid products with THC in them. 

You also want to know where the hemp was planted that was used to create the CBD product you are thinking of using with your dog. Hemp has been legalized in the USA, so it is legal to grow and use in many states. But not all hemp is created equal. 

It is important to know where your hemp comes from so it doesn't negatively affect yoir dog. You will have a much easier time using CBD if you find a brand that makes a good quality dog product made from US grown hemp with no THC and was tailored made for dog use.

You can give your dog CBD in many forms. A lot of owners prefer to give their dogs oil tinctures or pills. Others prefer to give their dog treats with CBD in them. The amount of CBD you give your dog will depend on your dog's weight and how your dog reacts to CBD. You will be able to find the dosage recommendations for your specific pet on each product containing CBD. Just like with humans, you should always start at a lower dose and work your way up until you find the perfect happy medium with no side effects or negative reactions for your pet.
