CBD Oil for Dogs: What You Need to Know

by Pathlie Lee Business consultant

If your dog suffers from cancer or has seizures, seeing the attacks can be a heart-breaking sight. You’ll want to do your best to provide your pooch with much-needed relief. Cannabis oil or CBD can help make that happen.

What is cannabis oil?
The substance is extracted from the marijuana plant through CO2 extraction. Cannabis oil contains little to no THC, which is the psychoactive element in marijuana. When you use it on your dog, you won’t need to worry that your pet will get high, the 
PetMD says.

What does it do?

CBD oil is used for treating seizures and nausea in dogs. It’s also administered to relieve stress, anxiety, arthritis, back pain, symptoms of cancer, and gastrointestinal problems, just to name a few, Dogs Naturally says. The cannabinoids react with the receptors in your pet’s body, modulating anxiety, nausea, and pain.

Are there any side-effects?

A lot of the available traditional pain medication for dogs contains side-effects. That sets medical cannabis apart from these options. It doesn’t leave your dogs with kidney damage nor will it compromise your pet’s liver or GI tract. Your pooch isn’t going to end up high or sedated as well. However, an overdose is fatal. That’s why you’ll need to consult with a trained and qualified veterinarian before you give CBD oil to your pooch.

How do you give CBD oil to your pet?

You can go for topical treatments. However, organic CBD oil for dogs is usually administered orally. You can also use it with some of your pet’s other medications. It’s important to make sure your pet gets the proper dose, though. That’s going to keep your dog safe and will ensure that s/he suffers no psychoactive effects.

Where do you get CBD oil?
You won’t lack for options when it comes to shops and suppliers. While that’s a good thought, it can make the search for the right product a bit of a challenge. You’ll want to do a ton of research before you choose a product. Make sure the product will address your pet’s condition. Research your options and find out which brands are well-known in the market for their effectiveness and safety in treating that specific condition in dogs. That should provide you with a few clues and buying advice.

How do you pick a shop?
Consider longevity. How long has the shop been around? Go over its inventory. Does it offer more than enough options for you? To save on costs, you may want to buy other much-needed items to your cart. That should help save you on shipping fees. Ordering in bulk also works. If you don’t need that many supplies, split the order with some of the other pet parents in your circle. Reach out to those who are caring for sick dogs too. They may want to get on board your plan.

What do the policies say?

What are the terms and conditions? Don’t forget to go over the shop’s return policy. Knowing in advance what those terms are will save you time in case you need to file for a few returns.
