CBD for Dogs

CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural compound derived from hemp plants that is beloved for its therapeutic potential for dogs and dog owners alike. It's non-psychoactive, has a well-established safety profile, and is generally very well tolerated. 

Because of the promising research into its benefits, not to mention the reports from pet owners themselves, CBD is an increasingly popular option for helping dogs alleviate stress and discomfort. Dog owners are seeing many improvements to their canine’s quality of life by incorporating CBD dog chews and tinctures into their doggy’s wellness routine.

There are many CBD pet products out there now, and as a pet owner, this may make it seem a bit challenging to find the best CBD for dogs. First, look for full-spectrum CBD treats because this extraction preserves all the valuable compounds found in hemp rather than just a CBD isolate. 

This promotes a pleasant synergy called the entourage effect, which explains how the sum of all the terpenes, flavonoids, and minor cannabinoids contained in a full spectrum is more effective than they are individually. 

Second, if you see full-spectrum extraction on the label, it also means that the product is not made merely from hemp oil. Hemp oil is technically just hemp seed oil, an oily extraction from the seed that contains little to no cannabinoids.

You'll also want to ensure the dog CBD treats come from a GMP-certified facility, which is a quality assurance of cleanliness and production standards. The good news? All the dog-calming treats we make contain full-spectrum extract, are produced in our GMP-certified facility, and are vet and pet-approved.

Yes! In study after study looking at CBD for dogs, the evidence tells us that CBD is well tolerated by our furry friends. Because of this research, major animal welfare organizations, like the Humane Society and the American Veterinary Medical Association, affirm CBD's safety for pets. The Canadian Association of Veterinary Cannabinoid Medicine has even issued a statement about how CBD is well-tolerated based on anecdotal reports and existing studies.

But keep in mind every dog is different. So no matter what, your vet will always be the best source of information for your dog. They can look into your pup's full health history and current concerns to help guide the best course of action.

CBD is showing tons of promise for doggy wellness thanks to its interaction with the endocannabinoid system. Preliminary studies suggest CBD may help with physical discomfort, inflammation, stress, sleep, and mood. Research is ongoing to explore these potential benefits further. 

While these results are promising, effects can vary, and CBD products are not intended to treat any specific disease or condition. Always consult with a vet before starting any new treatment.

Effects from CBD vary depending on the size of the dog, its health condition, its metabolism, and perhaps even its genetics. Roughly speaking, immediate effects should last for four to six hours, with the potential for cumulative effects with daily servings of CBD
