Why CBD for Pets?

March 1, 2023
0 comment (s)

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 cannabis plant that has been shown to have potential benefits for pets, including reducing anxiety, relieving pain and inflammation, and treating seizures.

But what exactly is CBD, and how does it work for pets? CBD is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is 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 pain, inflammation, and anxiety. When CBD is consumed, it interacts with the receptors in the endocannabinoid system to produce a range of potential therapeutic effects.

One of the most common uses of CBD for pets is to reduce anxiety. Pets can experience anxiety for a variety of reasons, including separation anxiety, noise phobias, and general nervousness. CBD has been shown to have potential anti-anxiety effects by interacting with the receptors in the endocannabinoid system to promote relaxation and reduce stress.

CBD can also be used to relieve pain and inflammation in pets. Many pets suffer from conditions such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other types of chronic pain. CBD has been shown to have potential analgesic effects by interacting with the receptors in the endocannabinoid system to reduce pain and inflammation.

Another potential use of CBD for pets is to treat seizures. Many pets suffer from epilepsy and other seizure disorders, which can be difficult to manage with traditional medications. CBD has been shown to have potential anticonvulsant effects by interacting with the receptors in the endocannabinoid system to reduce seizure activity.

So, is CBD safe for pets to consume? While CBD is generally considered safe for pets, it’s important to consult with a veterinarian before giving it to your pet. The veterinarian can help determine if CBD is the right choice for your pet’s specific needs and can recommend the appropriate dosage.

When choosing a CBD product for your pet, it’s important to look for products that are specifically formulated for pets. CBD products for humans may contain ingredients that are harmful to pets, so it’s important to use a product that is designed with your pet’s safety in mind.

CBD products for pets come in a variety of forms, including oils, tinctures, capsules, treats, and topical creams or balms. The form you choose will depend on your pet’s preferences and needs.

It’s also important to store CBD products for pets in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. This will help maintain the potency of the product and ensure that it remains safe for your pet to consume.

In conclusion, CBD for pets is a promising option for improving your pet’s quality of life. CBD has shown potential to reduce anxiety, relieve pain and inflammation, and treat seizures. However, it’s important to consult with a veterinarian before giving CBD to your pet and to choose a product that is specifically formulated for pets. With the right product and dosage, CBD can be a safe and effective way to support your pet’s health and well-being.

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.
