About CBD

 

CBD oil is everywhere, and seemingly in everything. You’ve probably heard someone mention CBD, especially if you live with a chronic condition like pain or anxiety. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the many active compounds found in the Cannabis sativa plant. 

​

As some states have begun to legalize both medical and recreational cannabis, the market has enjoyed an influx of readily available CBD, including CBD oil for dogs to help with pain, anxiety, nausea, loss of appetite, inflammation and to control seizures. Hemp products that contain less than .3% THC are legal in all 50 states.

​

The safety and risks of using CBD for dogs have not yet been researched. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved CBD and has not issued a dosing chart. Therefore, we do not know what size dosage would be toxic. Any medication or supplement carries the risk of a reaction. It is always advisable, when giving your dog something new, to start out with small amounts and then closely monitor the effects. And of course we always recommend that you check with your veterinarian first.
