Cole Report - Week #3

FEBRUARY 20, 2019

Storm bringing snow and ice.  No barn today.  We’re thinking of spring!

 
FEBRUARY 21, 2019

Illness on my part – no barn.

 
FEBRUARY 22, 2019

BM noticed Cole fly kicking as she led him up the driveway to his stall before I arrived.  This is the first instance of him exhibiting this behavior while moving.  While he had circled in his stall, didn’t seem to be overly upset or anxious.  He was slightly fidgety on cross ties but stood quietly after a bit.  He showed his normal amount of hesitation while having his feet handled.  We went for a hand walk around the property for 20-minutes and moved out well.  He was a little looser with his feet post workout.

While grooming him, I noticed he looked a little “sucked in” at the flank.  Remembering what my BM said about hind gut issues, I decided to purchase a digestive supplement for Cole.  Considering the amount/strength of the antibiotics he had gone through within the past couple of years, it definitely couldn’t hurt.

 
FEBRUARY 23, 2019

It’s a riding day!  Cole stood very quietly on crossties, but he wasn’t dull; he was very aware and interested in his surroundings, but not overreacting to stimuli (cats running up and down the aisle, slamming doors, loud music).  He seemed a little more comfortable with his initial feet handling, but I did hear a loud pop from his left stifle. He was still a little sucked in at the gut.

We went with a group ride with BM & W, P & M for 1 hr 8 min. We went up S Road; overall, Cole was relaxed and listening to my aids.  He was moving out very well, and his back and hips were swinging.  He let others take the lead and would wait for my cues before moving to a faster gait.  He even switched to a canter (voluntarily!) when we were reaching the top of the hill.  However, before cresting the hill, he tried to turn around to head back down.  Since his equine buddies were behind him, I didn’t think anything of it.  I nudged him forward and he obeyed.

We backtracked down S Rd and headed down W Rd.  We went even further than last time, and everyone was very well behaved.  Cole handled road traffic very well.  Overall, I was super pleased with him during our ride, which lasted 1 hour and 8 minutes. 

Back at the barn, Cole was barely sweating and relaxed.  His feet were easily lifted for handling.  The general impression I got was that he was comfortable.

 
FEBRUARY 24, 2019

It was a very quiet day at the barn, and it was just Cole and myself.  He was relaxed on cross ties with no fidgeting, and it was a little easier to clean his feet; there was no hitching action behind.

Considering what Cole did yesterday, and the fact we are not in a true, consistent program, I decided on an easy stroll, under tack, around the paddocks.  This would be a mostly level ride, with the only hill being involved was the one leading up to the barn from the fields.

We walked down the hill with no problem and circled the paddocks.  He was listening and we rode by his field, where his friends were eating hay, and ignored them.  We walked for about 20-minutes and headed back up the hill towards the barn.

Midway up, Cole stopped and tried to head back down the hill.  I gave him a nudge and he righted his course.  However, about twenty paces later, he tried to head back down to the field again.  I gave him a kick and he surged forward into the trot.  He smartly trotted up the hill and stopped were the hill levels out at the barn entrance.

This made me wonder; perhaps Cole is experiencing hock/stifle pain when headed up hills.  This makes sense when I considered the following:

  • He moved at the trot/canter up S Rd willingly and smoothly
  • While walking towards the crest of S Road, he tried to head back down on his own accord
  • He tried to turn back the barn hill during this ride
  • His hesitation didn’t seem to exist when he moved into the trot, his most natural gait

Perhaps moving at a faster gait on a steeper incline is more comfortable?  Is the residual effect of his Lyme disease infections, or is this simply osteoarthritis rearing its ugly head?  I also have to keep in mind that he has only been on the CBD oil for three weeks.

A little hitching while handling his feet, post ride.

At this point, I have to eagerly await his performance evaluation in March.  We need the ground to unfreeze/dry out so we can properly move him out.

I will also have blood drawn for another Lyme titer; I’m curious where his levels are, and if he is experiencing a re-infection.  The weather in the Northeast has been unseasonably warm (even though the temperatures have been wildly inconsistent), as it has been for the past couple of years.  Our vet has advised that ticks are now considered a year-round problem.

Cruelty Free Dog Products

No animals are harmed in the manufacturing of our products. 

In the animal rights movement, cruelty–free is a label for products or activities that do not harm or kill animals anywhere in the world. Products tested on animals are not considered cruelty–free, since these tests are often painful and cause the suffering and death of millions of animals every year.

Vegan Dog Products

No animal products or by-products used in any of our oils.

The only non-vegan product we have are the Pumpkin Hemp Dog Biscuits which do contain egg. (The Peanut Butter Banana Hemp Dog Biscuits do not and are also vegan.)


DEFINITION OF VEGAN VS. VEGETARIAN

Getting vegetarianism confused with veganism is a common mistake most people make. So today we are going to closely examine the definition of vegan versus the definition of a vegetarian in this post. Hopefully, this provides a little clarity.

DEFINITION OF A VEGETARIAN

The Oxford dictionary definition of a vegetarian is “a person who does not eat meat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain etc.”

This basically divides vegetarians into two groups; vegetarians who exclude eggs and dairy and vegetarians who include these items in their diets. The latter can then be broken up into a further three groups; ovo- vegetarians (who consume eggs but not milk), lacto-vegetarians (who consume milk but not eggs) and ovo-lacto vegetarians who consume both milk and eggs.

There’s often controversy surrounding “semi-vegetarians”, whose diet consists mainly of vegetarian foods but includes fish or poultry. The main differentiating factor between all of the above-mentioned groups is how much animal products are included in the diet.

DEFINITION OF VEGAN

The above difference is the main distinguishing factor between the definition of vegan and that of a vegetarian because vegans exclude animal products in their entirety. The official definition of veganism is “the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in a diet. As well as following an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of sentient animals.

A follower of veganism is known as a vegan”. That means veganism extends beyond the diet of a vegan individual. That is the biggest difference between vegans and vegetarians. While vegetarians may not consume animal products, they may use them if they are present in other products, such as items containing silk, honey or leather.

Vegans, on the other hand, avoid the use of animal products in all areas of their lifestyles.

Human Grade Dog Products

All ingredients and manufacturing processes are Human-Grade. We would never make anything for our pets considered not suitable for ourselves. The term human-grade in pet food means the finished product is legally suitable and approved as nourishment for humans. It is “edible.” Human foods are much more rigorously regulated than foods made for animals.

Organic Dog Products

All of our products are made with top quality, Certified Organic carrier oils and Organically-grown ingredients, all sourced responsibly and sustainably. Our products are infused with our own Full-spectrum Hemp extract which is derived from our own Organically-grown Colorado Hemp that was grown at our own facilities.

Cultivar Specific Hemp Oil Dog Products

For consistency. HempMy Pet grows one particular cultivar of hemp, selected specifically for its cannabinoid profile, and uses it every time for our hemp extract, maintaining consistency and eliminating unknowing trial and error.

Cannabis strains including Hemp and Marijuana are either pure or hybrid of the plant genus Cannabis, which encompasses the species Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis.

Varieties are developed to intensify specific characteristics of the plant, or to differentiate the strain for the purposes of marketing or to make it more effective as a natural supplement. Variety names are typically chosen by their growers, and often reflect properties of the plant such as taste, color, smell, or the origin of the variety. These varieties have been cultivated to contain a high percentage of cannabinoids, including CBD, CBG, CBC and more. Several varieties of Cannabis, known as Hemp, have a very low THC content, and are instead grown for their fiber, seed and therapeutic propertiess

Third Party Tested Hemp Oil for Dogs

From Seed-to-Sale all HempMy Pet products are tested by reputable independent laboratories for purity, safety, and quality. The soil, the water, the plants and the finished product are all rigorously tested to ensure no solvents, pesticides, heavy metals or micro-bacterial contanimants are present. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are published online with each product and always available upon request.

Organic Hemp Dog Products

All of our Hemp is organically grown in Colorado at our own greenhouse or farm. We do not import our hemp from overseas or any other state. We strive for perfection in our growing, curing, processing and formulating of our Hemp products.

Veterinarian Recommended Hemp Oil Dog Products

Clinically studied by independent veterinarians and sold in veterinarian clinics nationwide.

Full Spectrum Hemp Oil for Dogs

All the Cannabinoids, CBD, CBG, CBC..plus the terpenes and other minor cannabinoids made from the Whole Plant for the complete entourage effect.

CBD has become quite popular over the last couple of years but despite what you might think it is only one of the 100 compounds that have been identified in the Cannabis Sativa L plant. Full-spectrum CBD oil, unlike CBD isolate products, includes a wide range of cannabinoids present in the cannabis or hemp plant. Depending on the condition and what you are looking to achieve it can provide a greater effect than CBD alone as all the cannabinoids work together in what is known as the entourage effect.

Full-spectrum CBD also contains a variety of essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, protein, chlorophyll, terpenes, flavonoids, and fiber. When referring to CBD in the hemp plant, it’s important to understand that Hemp contains a large number of cannabinoids (in trace amounts), but the main compounds are CBD and cannabidiolic acid (CBDa). As CBDa is more abundant in the hemp plant, firms must decarboxylate the oil. This process heats the oil and changes CBDa into CBD.

Just one last thing before we explain the benefits of Full Spectrum CBD oil, its important to understand that CBD from Cannabis is only legal in Medical or recreational states, while CBD hemp oil is legal in all 50 states under the 2014 US Farm Bill. While it may not be able to treat all conditions it has been known to assist with a variety of medical conditions including anxiety, depression and acute pain.

The Benefits of the Whole Plant

One of the most important studies relating to full-spectrum CBD oil took place at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Hadassah School in 2015. It compared the performance of a full spectrum extract with one that contained CBD only. The study concluded that full spectrum was more effective when fighting pain and inflammation.

While CBD only is somewhat effective, the whole plant extract not only provided faster and better relief, the effects also lasted longer. This is why an increasing number of companies in the CBD industry are selling full-spectrum CBD oil as a rule.

The aforementioned entourage effect is the main reason behind the efficacy of whole plant extracts. There are over 100 ‘identified’ compounds in the cannabis plant. While most of these compounds have their own therapeutic benefit, they come together in a synergistic way to provide far better performance than any single compound, including CBD.
