For promoting health and wellness in your dog/cat, CBD can work wonders and can be your perfect ally in ensuring their wellbeing. You’ve come to the right place if you want to know more about CBD for pets. The article will help you make an informed decision about whether or not CBD is the right choice for your pets.
Cannabis has had a fair share of taboo regarding its use and the state of being high or stoned associated with it. Over time, changes in the law as well as an outpouring of support from pet parents across the world who have discovered the benefits of hemp products for their pets have created a shift in attitude and inclination towards CBD products.
WHAT IS CBD?
CBD is a short form of Cannabidiol. It is one of over a hundred compounds called cannabinoids found in the Cannabis family of plants. CBD is found in hemp which is another counterpart that has less than 0.3% of another well-known cannabinoid, THC. It is key for pet owners to know that hemp is low in THC. The fact that hemp is lower in THC, makes it safer for pets.
For accurate and safe dosing, ensure that you are buying CBD products that are only made especially for dogs or your pets. To make sure that the CBD product that you give your pet is safe, make sure you are buying CBD products that are third-party lab tested. As an example, all the CBD products available at CBDAY have third-party lab-tested reports, this allows the customers to see the lab test for the batch of their products.
IS CBD LEGAL?
Currently, Hemp is regulated under the Ministry of AYUSH and FSSAI for Hemp products like CBD made and sold in India.
Under Section 2 (iii)B of The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 – The seeds and leaves of the Cannabis plant are excluded from its definition and are completely legal to use.
HOW DOES CBD WORK?
The Endocannabinoid System, also commonly known as ECS, was discovered in the early 1990s. There have been multiple types of research that have shown that it is responsible for balancing a wide variety of systems in the body like digestion, pain, inflammation, anxiety, digestion, skin health, and mood.
Just like humans, the Endocannabinoid System is present in dogs too. It includes the body’s own production of endocannabinoids as well as special receptors, transmitters, and enzymes that are found throughout the body.
This system then communicates with other systems of the body such as the brain, peripheral, gut, and skin. CBD works by interacting with the ECS system of the pets.
WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CBD?
Some of the health benefits of CBD supports include:
- Relief from occasional joint stiffness
- Coping with external stresses
- Promoting relaxation
- Assistance in helping curb destructive behavior
- Treatment of skin allergies
- Boosts wellness and immunity
- Reducing oxidating stress and supporting antioxidative function
- Healthy gut
Research on this natural compound and its benefits for humans as well as other organisms has been going on for decades. There is sufficient research that supports the above-mentioned benefits of the wonder plant, hemp, and one of its compounds, CBD.
Most pet owners, more often than not, have been in a situation where their pets struggle with anxiety, have some levels of pain, stiffness in joints, or face seizures but have not really found the right solution for these issues. CBD can help greatly with pet problems and can provide positive results with consistent use.
Other than using CBD for anxiety or pain management and many other things, you can go the natural route to give your pets CBD on a daily basis for ensuring their general physical and mental wellbeing.
