CONSIDERING CBD FOR DOGS?

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW The CBD Ed Show with Ed Chaney

M

any owners believe in providing the highest quality treatment options available for their pets; including the best vets, the most nutritious kibble, and the gentlest products for their sensitive little bodies. CBD as a natural alternative to pharmaceuticals has been shown to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and calm anxieties. HOW DOES CBD INTERACT WITH DOGS? Just like humans, dogs also have an Endocannabinoid System that helps regulate their body through receptors in the body. These receptors, called CB1 & CB2, are located throughout the central & peripheral nervous systems. They interact with CBD similarly to a key in a car ignition; turning on and off the car when needed. WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CBD FOR DOGS? Since CBD helps regulate your pups body, it also helps benefit their general health and wellness. Cannabidiol is actually an antioxidant, which helps prevent and kill off cancer and tumor cells. This may greatly benefit dogs that are experiencing any sort of cancer treatment by helping with pain relief, effects of radiation therapy, or helping control tumor growths.

This natural cannabinoid also helps soothe stress and anxiety; perfect for chillin’ your pup out when you leave the house. One of the most common stressors with new puppies is separation anxiety.

Owners also love that CBD helps in relieving pain in their four legged friends by soothing inflammation. Whether it be hip dysplasia, injury, or just sore muscles from a rough day in the yard, your pup will love life again when they are pain free! CAN CBD HELP WITH CANCER IN DOGS? CBD has yet to have scientific research declaring these statements as absolutely true and backed up. Although, even with limited research, many veterinary oncologists are in a “grey area” when it comes to recommending CBD for their patients to help treat cancer. We suggest looking into integrative or holistic veterinarians if you are interested in treating your pet naturally alongside medical protocols. As stated by a local veterinarian, “Marijuana is illegal at the federal level so I cannot discuss it with you. Not unless I want to lose the ability to prescribe drugs.” The average dosing has been decided upon 1mg of CBD per 10lbs of a dog’s body weight. As long as the dose is kept in that range, most dogs do not have any negative side effects to this naturally occurring molecule. We suggest starting low, and going slow. Pay attention to how your dog reacts to the first doses, and seek professional help if any adverse effects occur. The next time you are out shopping for your four-legged friend, consider picking up some CBD oil to help their general well-being. CBD is a great daily regimen for those wanting to maintain optimal health in their pets.
