CBD For Animals

A huge misconception is that CBD dog treats and CBD oil for dogs will get your pooch higher than the moon. This isn’t the case. As we previously discussed, the CBD that you will purchase for Fido is derived from the hemp plant and will have less than 0.3% THC, thus making it safe.
However, if your pup were to ingest CBD oil or a CBD edible derived from the marijuana plant, it is possible for them to get “high,” but, more likely, they will get violently ill. If our readers use marijuana recreationally, it is imperative for the marijuana to be kept far out of reach of their dogs. Your pup will not benefit from oils or edibles derived from the marijuana plant, so it’s best for them to stay far away!
CBD from the hemp plant is the only way to go for your dog.
Benefits of CBD for DogsNow, let’s get down to the remarkable benefits that CBD is continuously being recognized for.

One of the ways that hemp CBD oil can benefit dogs and humans is through promoting relaxation in stressed dogs. As humans, we know what it’s like to feel anxious, some of us more so than others. Depending on the anxiety’s severity, doctors may prescribe conventional anti-anxiety medications to help alleviate the associated symptoms. What pet owners may not realize is that their precious pup can also face a great deal of stress, whether it is in the form of separation anxiety or varying phobias (e.g., fireworks, thunderstorms).

Hemp CBD may also play a role in easing pain in both humans and dogs. The CBD hemp oil can also help maintain a normal inflammatory response and may help relieve inflammation associated with normal daily exercise and activity.

In some cases, cancer progresses to a degree that requires conventional treatment, such as chemotherapy or radiation. With chemotherapy and radiation come a slew of additional side effects, such as nausea and loss of appetite. When your pup is battling a disease like cancer, the last thing that they need is to stop eating, as food is their main source of nutrition. CBD stimulates proper digestion.
Many pet owners use CBD in conjunction with traditional cancer treatments to reduce the negative effects of chemo and radiation.

As more and more research comes out on the incredible benefits of CBD hemp oil, more products are being created as a way for our furry friends to reap all the greatness that the herb has to offer.
We always recommend moving slowly when introducing a new product into your dog’s life, no matter what the product is. This rule of thumb is no different for CBD oil. Although CBD oil is all-natural and non-toxic, it is still something new. It is best to go slowly, even starting with half the recommended dosage and increasing from there. Trust us, your pup will soon reap the benefits of this magical herb, so there’s no need to rush the process.

Pet parents may choose to begin introducing CBD into their dog’s life through CBD oil. The CBD oil products typically come with a dropper and make it easy for pet owners to control the dosage of CBD oil that they are administering.
CBD hemp oil, available here, is based on your pup’s weight and can be purchased in levels 1, 2, or 3.

Level 1: Up to 25 pounds
Level 2: 25–50 pounds
Level 3: Over 50 pounds
Most pet owners report that their furry friends do not have any problems with the taste of the hemp CBD oil. However, we understand that some of our readers may have a picky eater on their hands. In these cases, we recommend adding the CBD oil to your dog’s food or favorite treat.

Once your pup becomes adjusted to the CBD oil, pet owners may opt for one of our CBD dog treats.
These cannabis dog treats are an easy way for pet owners to ensure that their fur baby is reaping all of the benefits that CBD has to offer through a yummy treat that your pup is sure to love.

We want to briefly mention that, with the increasing popularity of CBD products, pet owners will see a plethora of available products online. We hope that you give Honest Paws a shot. However, if you decide to purchase elsewhere, we want you to be aware of a few things, primarily that not all CBD is created equally.
As with most things in life, you get what you pay for. Pet owners will likely find cheaper versions of CBD oil, but this doesn’t mean that the quality is still up to par. Be sure you are purchasing CBD oil products from a reputable company who sources from USA-grown hemp.

Also, make sure that the products are 100% natural, soy-free, lab-tested, and non-GMO.

All-Natural If the CBD oil is not 100% natural, it is highly probable that it contains pesticides, fungicides, or solvents. In other words, the oil can potentially do more harm than good if the product isn’t high quality. Additionally, what makes CBD hemp products such a beneficial alternative to conventional medications is, primarily, their lack of chemicals. If the CBD isn’t 100% natural and is potentially contaminated with pesticides, fungicides, or solvents, its positive aspects are completely diminished.

Lab-Tested Another important part of choosing the right CBD product is making sure that it is lab-tested. The manufacturer should be able to provide a certificate of analysis for the CBD product. This document is a lab report that lists out the chemical ingredients in a product. You’ll want a certificate of analysis because there are some companies that sell products that contain only very small traces of CBD and yet still sell it as a CBD product. It makes you wonder what else is in the liquid substance that you are putting in your dog’s food, if so little of it is actually CBD.

CBD Dosage for Pain The good news is that CBD hemp oil is all-natural and non-toxic. Therefore, time and time again, it proves to be a safe and effective alternative for pets and humans alike. With that said, experts are still determining an exact dosage for each dog. The CBD products from Honest Paws vary by weight. Again, we recommend starting slowly. Even beginning with half the recommended dosage will ensure that your fur baby can soon reap all the benefits that the herb has to offer without being overwhelmed by it all at once.

CBD Side Effects The side effects associated with CBD vary from species to species. In humans, tiredness, weight changes, decreased or increased appetite, and diarrhea have been reported.
Luckily, studies suggest the associated side effects of CBD oil and CBD dog treats are extremely mild and are likely not to occur at all. Lethargy and tiredness have been reported in some cases, but most pet owners do not find any negative side effects from the CBD products. However, when it comes to your fur baby, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

CBD Dog Treats: Bottom Line It can be challenging being a pet parent. You want what is best for your fur baby, but sometimes it may seem impossible to figure out exactly what that is. Plus, dogs are notorious for hiding pain and ailments, so when a health problem does arise, it can be hard for pet owners not to go into a full-blown panic mode.
We understand the feeling. Your animals mean the world to you. We are also pet lovers and owners, so we get it, truly. That’s why we are so confident in the incredible benefits of CBD for pets. We are all incredibly fortunate to be living in a time where we have alternatives to harsh, chemically-based medications.
Given that we can choose all-natural, non-toxic options means that we can ensure that our fur babies are happy and healthy without the potential adverse side effects that often come along with conventional medications.
