If you’re like me, your dog is a family member. And as such, you want to give them the best possible care. I’ve found that it is a great way to use CBD dog treats for anxiety and other mental ailments — but only if it’s administered correctly. Here are my top five ways to offer CBD to your dog:
CBD Cream
It’s no secret that the holistic pet industry is growing at an unprecedented rate. The number of people who want to do right by their animals and give them the best possible care and healthy life is more than ever before. People are willing to pay extra to ensure that they’re feeding their dogs organic, high-quality food, and they’re more aware of what’s in the products they use on their dogs—including dog shampoos and conditioners as well as flea treatments.
Since CBD oil was legalized in all 50 states, it’s been making its way into products for humans. It’s been proven to have many therapeutic effects, such as helping those with anxiety or pain management issues. But now, pet owners can benefit from it too! A new product has become available to consumers: CBD skin care cream for dogs.
CBD skin care cream for dogs comes in various ingredients depending on your pup’s skin needs. Cams are formulated for ailments from allergies to arthritis to general dryness or itching. CBD is also a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, so it can help keep your dog healthier for longer and protect them from premature aging due to harmful UV rays when applied topically.
Oils
CBD oil is made from the hemp plant and is often used to treat various ailments in humans. CBD oil can treat pain, anxiety, and seizures in dogs. It can also be used as a cancer treatment for dogs!
It’s important to note that while CBD oil is considered safe for human consumption by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), there hasn’t been enough research on how pets react to CBD oil. If you choose to use this product on your dog(s), please do so at your own risk; we encourage all pet owners to consult with their veterinarian before giving anything new to their animals—including food or supplements!
Tinctures
Tinctures are an excellent option for adding CBD oil to your dog’s food or water. It’s also easy to administer, as you can add it to your dog’s food bowl or mix it into their water. Tinctures are an excellent choice for dogs who have difficulty swallowing pills since they’re absorbed quickly through the mouth and stomach lining, going straight into the bloodstream.
Tinctures are also the most cost-effective way to give your dog CBD. While some people prefer using capsules to give their dog CBD, tinctures have an advantage because their potency is measured in milligrams per milliliter (mg/ml). You can easily adjust the dosage by adding more or less of the liquid.
Capsules
CBD capsules are a perfect way to get CBD into your dog’s diet.
- They’re easy to administer, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally giving him too much or not enough.
- They’re also easy to store and travel with because they come in small containers that can fit anywhere—a pocket, purse, or suitcase.
- Lastly, they’re easy to measure the amount you want your dog to take, so there’s no guessing involved when it comes time for a dosage adjustment.
Chews
Chews are a great way to offer your dog CBD. They’re easy to administer, convenient, and tasty.
- They’re easy to administer: Chews are small and soft so you can give them to your dog without any hassle. If you don’t like the look of a gummy bear-shaped chew (and who does?), there are many other types available in pet stores and online—like bacon-flavored chews!
- They’re convenient: Most dogs love these treats, making them perfect for when you want some peace while they enjoy their snack. There are even CBD-infused water bottles available on Amazon!
- They’re tasty: As a bonus, these chews contain no calories or artificial ingredients — just all-natural hemp oil extract infused with terpenes from cannabis plants (more on that later).
Offering CBD to your dog is not hard.
- CBD is safe for dogs. (And cats, too.)
- CBD is legal in all 50 states.
- CBD is not psychoactive, addictive, or a controlled substance. This means that it cannot get your dog “high” like THC can and therefore poses no risk of overdose or death in animals who consume it accidentally.
- You can give your dog any cannabis product containing only cannabidiol (CBD) as long as it does not contain any THC, which we’ll discuss later on this page!
CBD is safe for dogs to consume because it does not interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the same way that THC does. The ECS plays a vital role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating many of our body’s processes, including pain sensation, mood, and sleep cycle.
What are the benefits of using Full Spectrum CBD?
You’re probably familiar with CBD isolate, a popular form of cannabinoid that can be used to make products ranging from tinctures and capsules to sublingual sprays. But if you don’t like the taste of oil or prefer not to swallow pills, full-spectrum CBD might be a better option.
Unlike CBD isolate, which is derived from just one part of the hemp plant called the stalks and seeds, full spectrum CBD is an extract from all parts of the hemp plant—including its leaves and flowers—and contains terpenes (organic compounds responsible for giving certain plants their distinctive aromas), essential oils, fatty acids and more than 100 cannabinoids including CBC (cannabichromene), CBG (cannabigerol) and more than 40 others. In some cases, these additional components provide extra benefits such as improved digestion or pain management alongside relief from anxiety.
