Hemp has a lot of health benefits, having been found to possess neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects.

In humans in particular, the plant has been established to be more effective than vitamins A and C as an antioxidant that protects the brain. Recently, the plant has also been used as a treatment for acne.

CBD for pets

Following its testing and eventually the discovery of health benefits of hemp use in humans, CBD, which is a compound sourced from the plant, has also been found to have positive effects on animal health – and none less than our beloved pet dogs and cats have been the beneficiaries of the initial tests performed on animals.

Owing to its success as a therapeutic agent for dogs and cats battling nervousness, discomfort, and other issues, researchers are on the quest to know if CBD can also be used in other domestic animals, and among the many hopefuls out there are pet owners and keepers.

CBD (cannabidiol) should be differentiated from its similarly-structured (chemical structure) relative THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), a compound from the marijuana plant.

THC has that “high” effect which has earned for itself a bad reputation and also an FDA warning to the public against its usage. For this discussion, we only refer to the CBD component of the plant.

As the stigma around CBD and other marijuana compounds has been gradually waning, you might be considering incorporating CBD into your pet’s routine and assess its effects on the animal’s quality of life.

CBD for pets Benefits

Though the subject matter has been sparsely explored in clinical studies as of the moment, know that the interest on the effects of CBD on pets is growing, one that is supported by legislation.

In the United States, the legalization of the use of hemp via the 2018 Farm Bill law has spurred interest on whether or not CBD can help with countless issues.

Researchers in Texas, on the other hand, sought to quantify the amount of effects of CBD on inflammation, stress, and negative behaviors of pets. In these trials, pets were given different forms of CBD formulations, including pellets and oil.

Other areas that were explored by the tests were heart rate and the length of time CBD stays in a pet’s system.

Considering all these research efforts, the assumption in general is that CBD affects pets’ health in the following ways:

• Reduction of levels of anxiety and depression
• Chronic pain relief
• Protection against bone disease
• Aid in gut health
• Reduced inflammation
• Support for brain health

Note: There is no claim that has been made asserting that CBD can treat diseases in humans, or in animals, and specifically, in pets. Symptomatic relief is all that the compound promises to deliver.

CBD and the Endocannabinoid System

CBD supports the endocannabinoid system of the human body, and that system is present in the bodies of animals as well. This system has receptors located throughout the body, all of which work together to maintain balance or homeostasis.

The endocannabinoid system works on various parts of the body, regulating and balancing processes, including:

• Cell communication
• Memory
• Appetite
• Metabolism
• Immune response, etc.

Is CBD Safe for pets

Yes, generally, with proper consultation from your vet and correct dosage, your pet should benefit from the use of CBD and not experience any adverse effects.

Overdosage should be avoided, but even if accidental administration of a large amount occurs, your pet should be safe.

Research results have shown there are no serious side effects associated with the use of the compound, but as we wait for more clinical data to support use of high amounts of CBD, it’s best to be on the safe side by monitoring the effects of the compound on your pet, and only increasing or decreasing per vet’s advice.

Drowsiness and drying of the mouth are the most common side effects observed in pets.

How Much CBD Should I Give My pet?

Your vet should be the best person to consult on the right dose to give your pet, and remember that increasing dosage would not in any way treat an underlying disease.

Giving large doses might bring about quick pain or inflammation relief, but there is no guarantee that such an approach will be helpful at all in the long run.

Check dosage charts available on pet hemp websites and discuss the information you have gathered with your vet. You may check with the Pet Hemp Company and compare their chart with other sites later.
