CBD for Pets: What You Need to Know
What is CBD?
CBD (short for cannabidiol) is a natural compound found in hemp plants. It's non-psychoactive, which means it won't get your pet "high."
How Can CBD Help Pets?
CBD may support your pet’s overall wellness by helping with:
-
Anxiety & stress (great for storms, travel, or separation)
-
Joint & mobility support (especially in older pets)
-
Pain relief (from chronic issues or recovery)
-
Appetite & digestion
-
General calmness and mood balance
Is It Safe?
Yes—when given in the right dosage. Look for CBD products made specifically for pets, with clear labeling and third-party lab testing to ensure safety and quality.
How to Use It
Start with a low dose based on your pet’s weight and gradually increase if needed. CBD oils can be added to food or given directly, and there are also treats available.
Important Note:
Always consult your veterinarian before starting any CBD regimen, especially if your pet is on other medications.
