Did you know that your dog could benefit from CBD too?
You may be surprised to learn that dogs have a similar Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to humans and many other mammals. This means that their internal system is capable of taking advantage of cannabinoids, such as CBD.
As our dogs get older, much like us, they start finding it harder and harder to move around like they did when they were younger. Unfortunately, our dogs can’t tell us when something isn’t right, and they rely on us to notice that they may be having mobility issues.
CBD is a potent natural anti-inflammatory and is showing a lot of promise in helping pet owners treat their dog’s joint pain and inflammation. It makes sense if you can reduce the amount of inflammation surrounding a joint or muscle, then mobility will be less painful and more comfortable.
Another exciting use for CBD with dogs is as a natural treatment for situational anxiety. When we leave home, our pets can become quite distressed at being left alone. CBD can assist them to feel calmer and reduce the amount of stress and anxiety that they experience. Thunderstorms and firecracker nights are also a considerable cause of situational anxiety in many pets, including dogs. If you know about them beforehand, then you could potentially help your dog to relax before they happen and reduce their stress and anxiety during the event.
If your dog is currently taking any medication, then you should speak to your vet before giving them any CBD as it can interfere with the way that they process other medications.
