CAN CBD REALLY HELP MY DOG WITH ANXIETY?
by APSense News Release AdminCBD OIL FOR DOGS UK
Anxiety is something that is everywhere at the moment, a global pandemic where we were forced to stay inside has not helped matters. The rise of social media platforms like TikTok, overtaking all over platforms in terms of downloads is an ongoing cause of anxiety for many young people.
So, anxiety is an issue. However, what people do not understand is:
- Dogs get active anxiety too, sure you see they’re scared of big noises or traffic but it’s scientifically proven dog’s worry in certain situations which are far less obvious than you think. Oh, of course – it’s all animals/pets but we just love dogs at Hemp Point!
- Secondly, anxiety is something that is massively able to be dealt with CBD. CBD and anxiety goes together like ‘’Love and marriage, love and marriage, they go, together like a horse and carriage’’

CBD is perfect for anxiety for humans and for our 4 legged friends, Hemp Point are going to explain everything…so sit back, relax and tell your little furry friend they’re a good boy…
Why do our pets get anxious?
What’s funny is pets are very complex, especially dogs and because they’re mans best friend they are always with us. Dogs can actually feel our anxiety too and respond to it.
What’s extra interesting about our pets and anxiety, so many people don’t realise their dog/cat/goldfish is even anxious in the first place!
This is a list of a few reasons why animals get anxious:
- Abandonment
- The older they get the more confused they can get
- At nightime, when everyone leaves
- Fear of being home alone/Separation Anxiety
- Loud noises
- Traveling
- Being around strange people
- Being around children
- Being around other pets
- If they’ve been neglected
- If they’ve been abused
So, if you’re reading that and suddenly it’s dawning on you that your pet may be slightly nervous in certain situations or your dog rips up something when you leave the room or
runs around doing zoomies in public, please continue reading as we might be able to help!
What research is there for CBD Oil for dogs?
Interestingly, there has been no formal study on how CBD affects dogs or any of our pets. However, don’t be alarmed, what scientists have proven and researched for years is how cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid receptors located in the central and peripheral nervous systems, which help maintain balance in the body and keep it in a normal healthy state.
A question we always get is around side effects, well as mentioned, there’s no scientific data on the side effects of CBD usage for animals, due to what we understand with humans there are potential side effects based on how CBD affects us.
Therefore, to avoid any potential side effects, make sure you are following the proper dosage.
Dry mouth: Research has shown that CBD can decrease the production of saliva. For dogs, this would manifest as an increased thirst.
Lowered blood pressure: High doses of CBD have been known to cause a temporary drop in blood pressure. Even though the drop is small, it might create a brief feeling of light-headedness.
Drowsiness: Dog owners have used CBD Oil for Dogs. The calming effect of CBD can also cause slight drowsiness, especially when using higher doses.
What sort of CBD for dogs UK should I buy?
Hemp Point has the best ingredients for CBD Oil UK, the best CBD Oils and Products all around.
It’s always good to look for organic, this isn’t because we are picky but If the CBD oil is not organic, it can contain a load of nasties which we wouldn’t humans to take but if you love animals like we do you certainly don’t want your pet taking: possible pesticides, fungicides, or solvents.
Oh, also make sure it’s free of additives.
Another good tip, which helps the above too, don’t only shop based on price. Higher quality and strength normally mean more expensive…luckily at Hemp Point we have the best value CBD in the UK.
Finally, get the analysis from the lab reports. This is one of the founding foundations for Hemp Point setting up is centring everything they do on: expertise and trust. If the brand
or website you’re on has no certificates, do not waste your time or risk your/pet’s wellbeing.
What are the best ways of administering CBD oil for dogs to your pet?
When considering CBD, most people think of CBD oil. Bottled CBD oils with droppers are good options because they make it easy to measure the right dose. You can give CBD oil directly in the mouth or add it to food or a treat.
The big thing to watch out for is potency or strength of the CBD Oils so it’s best to do some research and speak to other owners if they’ve used it for their breed, if it’s similar to yours. This is a really helpful website: https://cbddosagecalculator.com/dogs/
We love that dogs seem to love CBD, certainly a lot of CBD tastes a bit grassy depending on the strength. This means that most dogs find it like a treat so they will have it without any encouragement or trickery but it also means it’s simple to add to their food.
CBD treats for dogs are also another way of administering CBD to your dog, rather than making your own but they can get expensive if you have a large dog or if you’re planning on long-term use.
We recommend water soluble as it’s simple and it’s a bit more exciting than water, see below.
Conclusion: If your pet is struggling then CBD oil for dogs is worth a try
As you have read that anxiety in anyone, especially an animal is difficult to cure.
After all, it’s not a tangible thing – anxiety is a fear of ‘’what if’’ and as our beautiful doggies and kittys cannot communicate it’s difficult to ever get to the bottom of it.
This being said, CBD for anxiety is something that helps people with anxiety who take CBD and also CBD for pets, dogs and cats. The best CBD Oil in the UK is Hemp Point, however we are a little biased…
We are big dog lovers here at Hemp Point and feel the best way our pooch enjoys CBD is with a water soluble into their water or even goats milk: https://hemppointcbd.co.uk/product/full-spectrum-water-soluble-cbd-500-mg/
