5 Things You Might Not Know About CBD for Dogs

Posted on 05.18.2023
Have you ever heard your dog whine in pain or cry while teething? What about the sad (be it adorable) howl when they don’t want to be left alone? It can be heartbreaking, so you’ve probably wondered what you can do about it. There’s a solution.

CBD oil - dogs can use it too.

Here’s a few things you might not know about CBD oil:  

1: CBD is not psychotropic.

While it is derived as a cannabinoid (from hemp, not marijuana), it isn’t like a recreational drug. So your pup won't get “high,” the oil just induces a calming state.  

2: It can help dogs who are needy or have separation anxiety.

Do you have a dog with separation anxiety? Just a little cannabis oil can make him much calmer when you’re not home.  

3: CBD can relieve pain.

It’s common for dogs to experience hip dysplasia, tumors, intestinal problems, heart problems, and teething. As they age, they continue to smile and love us despite their growing pain and health decline. Wouldn’t it be great to ease their discomfort naturally, rather that some valium-like coma? CBD is a pain reliever. Studies have shown that it reduces pain, including neuropathy. It reduces inflammation, intestinal(IBD), chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease, pancreatitis, and oxidative stress (which is caused by degenerative and premature aging).  

4: It helps with digestion.

The compound (CBD), helps with appetite, vomiting, and nausea. It increases hunger in our pups when they’re malnourished, sick or not eating enough.  

5: CBD helps with cardiovascular health:

It helps to reduce damage to blood vessels and irregular heart rates. CBD reduces injury to damaged arteries and veins, with less anxiety and calmness, due to a lower heart rate and blood pressure. Thanks to the studies of veterinarian Dr. Bassingthwaighte.   Is your bestie anxious, depressed, or hungry? CBD is an alternative option. It’s natural, pain relieving, and calming; as well as healthy for digestion and heart health.
