CBD tincture has worked wonders for humans alone and the technology we have today has allowed us to further be able to explore these benefits not just on humans but also man's best friend: the K9.
Just like us humans, dogs also have an endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinod system regulates several bodily functions including: coordination, digestion, motor control and muscle movement, appetite and digestion, pain, heart rate and blood pressure, mood, sleep and inflammation. Evidently, these are very important bodily functions that the ECS is responsible for; and just like us, our furry friends face ailments they can use assistance with.
Seizures and Epilepsy
As terrifying as it can be seizures and epilepsy disorders are found in the K9 population. To our benefit, a study was done in 2018 at the University of Colorado concluding that 89% of the dogs that participated in the study had a reduction of seizures after being dosed with CBD oil.
CBD is found to reduce the amount of and severity of seizures. The way CBD interacts with the body's natural endocannabinod system by binding to the brain's natural receptors thus helping improve the functioning of the nervous system.
Cancer
Cancer is an awful disease that unfortunately happens to find its way into the human and animal communities. CBD greatly helps deal with the unfortunate effects that come with this awful disease such as nausea. CBD also helps kill cancer cells in the body by blocking the cells ability to produce energy.
Joint Pain & Arthritis
Naturally CBD helps with inflammation. When cannabidiol is administered to dogs it greatly helps with mobility problems, discomfort and stiffness associated with joint issues and arthritis.
Anxiety
As a matter of fact anxiety is one of the main reasons a dogs owner will turn to CBD products. Anxiety can show up in multiple ways in dogs. A few common forms found most in dogs are: separation anxiety, aggression, PTSD, and noise phobia. Rather than giving the dog prescriptions that can have long term effects on the body, CBD tends to mimic the effects the medications provide without the long term effects that prescriptions may generate.
Skin Conditions
Allergies, skin rashes, and aggravated skin are common in pets and thankfully CBD can also help with that! As we've learned previously in this article, CBD is great to help treating inflammation the body endures. Having said that, CBD oils, creams and rubs work wonders to reduce these effects or even completely rid them.
Overall
Moreover, CBD is incredible not only for us but as we learned today also our furry friends. Before jumping right into a CBD routine with your pet, consult your veterinarian and let them know your plan as well and discuss it. It is also recommended to keep a detailed journal for you pet, see what works for them and what doesn't.
