As a pet owner, you are always looking for ways to improve your pet's quality of life. One option that has become increasingly popular in recent years is the use of CBD (cannabidiol) for pets. CBD is a compound found in the hemp plant that has shown potential to support calm, comfort, and a healthy inflammatory response.
What Is CBD and How Does It Work for Pets?
CBD is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound in cannabis that produces a "high," CBD is non-psychoactive and does not produce any intoxicating effects.
CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in the body, which helps regulate various physiological processes such as comfort, inflammation, and mood. When CBD is consumed, it interacts with the receptors in the endocannabinoid system to support a range of everyday functions.
Supporting Calm and Easing Everyday Stress
One of the most common reasons owners reach for CBD is to support calm. Pets can feel stress for a variety of reasons, including separation, noise sensitivity, and general nervousness. Full-spectrum hemp interacts with the endocannabinoid system to help promote relaxation, which is why so many owners turn to it before thunderstorms, fireworks, or travel. For more, see our guides to hemp for dog anxiety and CBD for cat anxiety.
Supporting Comfort and Mobility
CBD is also widely used to support comfort as pets age. Many pets develop joint stiffness over time, and full-spectrum hemp supports a healthy, normal inflammatory response through the endocannabinoid system — which is why it's become a popular daily addition for senior dogs, cats, and horses.
Is CBD Safe for Pets?
Full-spectrum hemp is generally well tolerated, but it's a good idea to consult your veterinarian before giving it to your pet — especially if your pet is on other medications. Your vet can help determine whether it's a good fit and suggest a starting serving size.
When choosing a product, look for one specifically formulated for pets. Human CBD products may contain ingredients that aren't safe for animals, so use a product designed with your pet's safety in mind. At HempMy Pet, we make full-spectrum formulas for dogs, cats, and horses.
Choosing the Right Form
Hemp products for pets come in several forms, including oils, tinctures, treats, and topical balms. The form you choose depends on your pet's preferences and needs. Oils give you the most flexibility on serving size, while treats are convenient and easy to love. Store products in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to help maintain potency over time.
