What Is CBD Oil for Pets?

Before the popularization of CBD, not many people realized that we all had an endocannabinoid system (ECS). It turns out the ECS consists of naturally-occurring endocannabinoids and receptors such as CB1 and CB2. The endocannabinoids created in our bodies interact with the receptors and impact a massive array of functions. Researchers keep delving into the mysteries of the ECS, and will hopefully unpiece the puzzle.

The cannabinoids found in hemp, such as CBD, seem to have a similar effect as the body’s endocannabinoids. It transpires that all mammals have an ECS. Soon, an entire industry surrounding CBD oil for pets grew. As is the case in humans, the ECS in mammals regulates and maintains their other systems. These include the reproductive, immune, digestive, and central nervous systems.

Therefore, the pet CBD oil you give to your dog or cat could assist them in the same way it may help you. Unlike people, your pet has no preconceived notions of what CBD can do for them. As a result, if you see positive changes, it is highly unlikely that a placebo effect is involved.

When it comes to pet relief CBD oil, it is essential not to make claims. Research is ongoing at present, and researchers have yet to conclude. Nonetheless, countless pet owners have given CBD to their dogs and cats, and are astounded at the positive impact. Studies to date suggest that CBD is an anticonvulsant and has anti-inflammatory effects. In humans, CBD could help manage the impact of everyday stress and promote a healthier sleep cycle. There is a possibility that the cannabinoid has a similar effect on pets.

What Should I Look for in CBD Pet Products?

Though it is a billion-dollar market, there is no federal regulation in place. The rules surrounding CBD depend on individual states at present. Some have strict testing protocols in place, while others allow a free for all. In such a ‘Wild West’ environment, it pays to do your research.

When purchasing CBD pet products, make sure you only deal with brands that offer third-party lab testing. At Premium Jane, we include this data with every batch, including our CBD products for pets. You can find out how much CBD is in each product, along with information about other cannabinoids and terpenes.

You could also see evidence that the item in question is free from pesticides, insecticides, and toxins. A shocking number of CBD products don’t contain what is claimed on the label. You wouldn’t put a random substance into your body, so why would you do that to your pet?

When giving a CBD product to your pet, make sure you begin with a small amount. You can give them as little as 1mg of CBD per 10 pounds of body weight to start. It is inadvisable to go beyond 6mg per 10 pounds of bodyweight. You will notice that pet CBD tinctures include lower concentrations than what humans consume.

The average human is significantly heavier than all but the most gargantuan of dogs! As a result, your pet will require far less CBD than you to get a similar effect.
The other major difference between human and pet CBD is flavor. Even when you add a CBD oil to a pet’s food or drink, they will notice the taste. Many pets will turn their nose up at the bitter flavor of hemp. That’s why brands create CBD oils in flavors such as bacon and chicken!

CBD For Pets FAQ

What Does CBD Oil Do for Pets?

Studies are ongoing, and researchers have made some exciting discoveries. However, the current status of CBD means brands are not allowed to make any medical claims. Various pet agencies are looking into sponsoring pet-specific CBD studies. There is a suggestion that CBD could promote ‘homeostasis,’ a feeling of ‘balance’ in the body. This means CBD could help promote wellbeing in your pet.

How Long Does It Take for CBD Oil to Work for Pets?

There are far too many factors at play to provide a precise answer. First of all, the method of consumption makes a difference. CBD oil could take well over an hour, though some pet owners claim it can happen in as little as 20 minutes. The heavier the pet, the longer it is likely to take, but there is no exact answer.

How Much CBD Oil Do I Give my Pet?

Once again, the best we can do is provide a ballpark figure. We can tell you that it depends on the size of the pet. The average dog is heavier than the average cat and will need more CBD in all likelihood. The general rule of thumb at present suggests 1mg of CBD per 10 pounds of body weight each day, to begin with. A 45-pound dog would get 4.5mg of CBD daily in this scenario. You can adjust the amount you give your pet upwards or downwards, depending on how you think your pet is reacting.

What Is the Difference Between CBD Oil and Hemp for Pets?

Although CBD oil comes from hemp, not every ‘hemp’ product contains CBD. Hemp oil often comes from the seeds of the hemp plant. It is a potentially healthy oil that has Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, along with amino acids and proteins. However, it contains minimal CBD. That’s because the CBD oil you buy for pets comes from the stalks, leaves, and flowers of the hemp plant.
