CBD Oil for Pets

Where Does CBD Oil Come From?

CBD oil is a non-psychoactive chemical compound from the cannabis plant. The cannabis plant has multiple species, the two most widely recognized being hemp and marijuana. The biggest difference between the two of them is the levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) they contain. THC is the thing that gives the feeling of being “high.”

While the marijuana plant contains a high levels of THC, hemp does not. Most CBD products are derived from hemp. Because hemp contains very low levels of THC, you don’t have to worry about it altering your pet’s mental state.

How Does CBD Oil Help My Pet?

First, CBD oil is not a cure-all but there have been instances where it’s been found to work particularly well. For pets with chronic pain, GI issues, muscle trauma or neurological issues, CBD oil can be useful in conjunction with current therapy and medications.

If you plan on starting CBD oil for your pets, start out with small amounts and then closely monitor the effects. It would also be a good idea to check with your veterinarian before you start giving your pet CBD oil.
