Benefits Of Organic CBD Oil For Dogs

By Katie Hess


Taking care of health needs is often the number one priority of good pet owners. In doing so, these individuals need to have a clear understanding of what edibles and medications are appropriate for different types of pets. With new products such as Organic CBD Oil For Dogs, edibles and sprays hitting pet and other stores around the world, it is even more so.

As with all medications for pets, separating fact from fiction is essential in guaranteeing the safety of treatment. As a method of assisting pet owners better understand the facts about CBD oil and other products, the American Kennel Association's top veterinarian has provided an explanation as to the properties, drawbacks and benefits of the product as it relates to dogs.

CBD is a compound found in cannabis and hemp plants. While this is the case, CBD products do not contain THC, though when processed in the same facility as medical marijuana or recreational marijuana, there can often be trace amounts. CBD is derived from hemp, not marijuana so users do not experience the same high as those whom eat edibles, smoke or vape pot, or consume other products containing high levels of THC.

There have been no official studies with regards to CBD in relation to dogs or other animals. However, scientists have now discovered that the benefits of CBD comes from an interaction with endo-cannabinoids receptors located in the central nervous system of humans. As a result, the product, when used appropriately, has the capability to balance and keep the body in a healthy state.

Even though little to no scientific data has been established with regards to CBD use in animals, pet owners have discovered that the product has the power to calm anxiety, diminish seizures and ease pain in pets. As such, it appears that for all practical purposes the product has the same effect on pets as humans. For, most humans use the product to treat anxiety, calm nerves, reduce seizures and ease pain.

CBD also has cardiac, anti-anxiety, anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory benefits. In addition, both the New England and Harvard Journals of Medicine have shown that the product has the ability to kill cancer cells. While there has been no official proof of these claims, individuals who have, or are using the product have often seen these results first hand.

The AKC in conjunction with the Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine is now undertaking a study as to the positive and negative effects CBD has on epilepsy in dogs. Researchers hope the study will be the first to prove CBD successful in this endeavor.

Just as there have been no proof of benefits, there have been even fewer studies with regards to side effects or drug interactions. Although, based on current findings of how CBD oil effects humans, while there is potential for side effects, most are common with regards to uses for CBD. For example, there is a calming effect which has the potential to lower blood pressure and cause drowsiness. As such, if an individual takes more than the recommended dosage, it could lead to long periods of drowsiness or sleep.
