Your Doggy and CBD Herbal Remedy

It stands to reason that if CBD oils would benefits humans the way that they do, animals would also be affected, after all, humans are technically animals.  Experiments with CBD have been performed on rats, successfully, but more experimentation needs completed in order to determine the effects that CBD may have on our pets. In fact, there was an experiment that showed a high dosage of CBD alleviates pentylenetetrazol-induced epilepsy in rats by producing an anti-convulsive effect.  So, if it helps rats, and it helps humans, could it help your pup too? 

CBD has been known to help what now

Though not 100% proven, and more testing needs performed, it is almost impossible to not see the benefits of using CBD.  It has been known to alleviate chronic and severe pain, cramps, help anxiety and cancer, help people with eating and psychotic disorders, and epilepsy, while producing minimal side effects that are not as detrimental to the human body as prescription medications.  Knowing that CBD has helped humans in all of these fashions, and has helped rats in several of these areas as well, people began giving CBD oil to their pets.

What can CBD do for my pup and me

Does your dog suffer from separation anxiety and tear your house up when you leave?  Does your dog have arthritis issues, cancers, or tumors?  Does your dog have seizures, skin disorders or an unusually queasy stomach?  CBD may be able to help you with all of these doggy ailments and more.  Veterinarians are doing more and more research, and a lot more of them are recommending CBD oil treatments for at least dogs.  CBD has been known to have the same benefits in dogs that it does humans, and people are starting to use it on their dogs as well as themselves.

CBD has been known to be an anti-inflammatory and pain aide.  In dogs, CBD can reduce the pain that they experience from arthritis and hip dysplasia.  It has also been shown to reduce the pain that dogs feel from neuropathy and nerve-related issues, inflammation in acute pancreatitis, general inflammation, chronic inflammation and intestinal inflammation (associated with irritable bowel disease).  CBD also inhibits the production of inflammatory macrophages and decreases chronic inflammation.  If this does not make you want to try CBD oil on your ailing pup, maybe you should look at some of the other benefits associated with CBD oil in dogs, like the fact that CBD can actually help to reduce colitis and prevent inflammatory bowel disease in them. 

CBD can help with inflammatory bowel disease by preventing colitis and restoring normal gut motility.  It also has antibiotic properties, which includes the killing of Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA).  CBD has also been known to reduce autoimmune disease, and is a powerful antioxidant, possibly noted to be more powerful than vitamins C and E.  It has also been known to decrease the production of inflammatory cytokines that cause allergies, hypersensitivities and autoimmunity.  A major cause of auto immune disease can be linked to Th17 dominance, which is suppressed by the use of CBD oil in dogs.

The use of CBD oil has also been linked to increased appetite, decreased nausea and the promotion of cardiovascular health.  If your doggy is having heart health issues, won’t eat, or is always in discomfort due to stomach digestion issues, try some CBD oil.  You may see your dog respond well and begin to eat properly, get sick less, and have a better heart examination the next time he sees his vet.  It has also been linked to better brain health in dogs, which is never a bad thing.  It is always good to keep your pups brain working right and well until they pass, as some dogs get snippy in their old age due to mental health issues.  You may be ready to jump on the bandwagon and start giving your baby this wonder supplement that seems like it could do nothing but help, right?  You also may have more questions, like; “is this product legal to give to my dog”?  As usual, it is recommended that you see your doctor before you take CBD, as you should consult with your dog’s medical professional before you start giving them CBD.  You should also check the laws in your state, but as of right now, there are no known legal issues with giving your dog CBD oil.  Now all you have to do is focus on choosing the right one for your fur-baby.

What should I look for in my CBD oil when I am looking for my dog

The first rule to go by when choosing a CBD oil for your pet, is; if you wouldn’t give it to yourself, do not give it to them.  Most people who are seeking the CBD oil option are normally very big pet lovers, but some may try to skimp on something that is meant to improve your pup’s life.  Always make sure your oil is organic and has a low THC content.  As you may well know by now, most CBD oil will have THC in it as it is almost impossible to extract one without the other.  You are not trying to get your dog stoned, you are trying to help him, try to get the lowest content of THC possible.  The last thing you should look for is the vendor reputation.  If the person you are purchasing from has a bad reputation, you may not want to purchase your oil from them.  It may end up hurting your dog in the end.  Do not skimp, as mentioned earlier; if you wouldn’t take it, do not give it to your dog.

Should I involve the vet

This cannot be stressed enough, do not give your dog anything until you have consulted a vet.  Your veterinarian knows what is best for your baby, listen to them.  If they tell you they do not think it would help and you think it would, get a second opinion, that is your right and there is nothing wrong with it, just listen to the advice of at least one medical professional.  You would not want to unintentionally hurt your doggy because you rushed into things thinking it would help.  Always seek the advice of a medical professional, whether it be for you or your fur-baby.
