National Pet Day

The African Cannamed Co. celebrates National Pet day today, 11 April 2022. THE perfect opportunity to blog about CBD oil for pets showing our love the best way we know how!

As the world opens up to natural health methods paying more attention to holistic health, a ripple effect lands on our furry friends, what is the best way to treat them naturally?

More and more people are curious as to how CBD assists our closest companions. Let’s lock in for some understanding.

The Endocannabinoid System

Animals, like humans, have an endocannabinoid system that includes cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids, and metabolic enzymes from within the body that interact with one another and with external components such as phytocannabinoids. Holistic Hound reports “Additionally, one of the major differences scientists noticed between the endocannabinoid systems in dogs and humans is that dogs actually have more endocannabinoid receptors in their brain than humans do. This makes them more susceptible to the effects of phytocannabinoids like THC and CBD.”

WholisticMatters shares a great article here on hemp for pets. It comes as no surprise to us that CBD oil for pets,  has the same anti-inflammatory and soothing pain relief effects for dogs, cats and other pets as it does for humans.

How is CBD oil for pets beneficial?

• CANCER – helps relieve pain and symptoms associated with the disease. Assists to slow the growth of cancerous cells.
• APPETITE – this is a healthy and natural way to assist with your pet’s appetite.
• ANXIETY –  assists in easing anxiety in pets, be this separation anxiety or stress caused by loud noises.
• SEIZURE – assists in reducing seizures in your pets.
• ARTHRITIS – CBD oil for pets is an excellent way to help ease their arthritic pain.

Research is being done on the benefits of CBD in both pets and humans. Research shows beneficial use for canine osteoarthritis; check out this article by Forbes.com.

But in the two higher dose groups “almost every dog saw significant improvement in their conditions, in regards to reduced pain and increased ability to move around. And the dogs seemed happier and were able to do more.”

Interesting to note the article talks about the many brands being out there that aren’t lab tested and do not have the correct labelling on their products. At The African Cannamed Co. we have full lab certified oil and our labels don’t lie.

What about CBD oil for cats?

CBD oil is good for all pets including cats. Petmd.com show that many more vetenarians are using CBD oil for pain, inflammation and anxiety in pets. Moving to a new home, adjusting to new cats or people , travelling, are just a few of the situations that can make our beloved felines nervous. CBD (cannabidiol) can be an effective and natural way to reduce anxiety in cats without causing any negative side effects. CBD oil for cats can be used as needed for temporary relief or on a long-term basis for cats suffering from chronic anxiety. If your cat is in pain, CBD oil can help them feel more comfortable, which can help them stay calmer.

My cat suffers from a skin infection caused by, well, anything! Grass, food, her environment. Since using CBD oil from The African Cannamed Co. her skin flares up less often, and it also helps with the pain when she does have a reaction.
