CBD oil is a popular topic and product right now across America for both humans and dogs. This is due to there being many added benefits of giving your dog CBD. Here I breakdown if you should give your dog CBD oil.
How does CBD Oil affect your dog?
Some still think by giving your dog CBD, you’re getting your dog “high”. This is false. CBD oil does not contain THC, which is the component of marijuana that is know for the psychoactive or “high” feeling people experience after smoking or eating THC products.
Below I share some benefits of giving your pup CBD oils. It can be used for a number of treatments to help improve overall health.
It reduces anxiety
Whether it’s during a thunderstorm, or they’re riding in the car, or they are hearing fireworks on 4th of July, my dogs are known to be anxious in many different situations. CBD oils have been shown to help decrease anxiety and giving CBD oil to them before these events helps prevent the onset of anxiety.
It reduces nausea and helps increase appetite
My dogs have experienced their fair share of surgeries that have made them sick and unable to eat. We have used CBD oil to help decrease nausea and increase their appetite so they are able to eat their food and take their pills on a full stomach.
Pain management
Dogs, like humans, experience pain. It’s definitely more common in their old age, relating to back and leg issues and even joint pain. CBD oil is a good alternative to medications and expensive vet visits. I’m not saying don’t treat your dog’s problems properly, but often times you can help manage the pain with CBD oil.
Reduces seizures
For a dog who has uncontrollable seizures, CDB oil may curb seizures. CBD oils can be used along with traditional medication in severe cases or on their own in mild cases. You should consult with your veterinarian on the best treatment for your dog who has seizures.
