Among modern natural pet care products, CBD oil for animals holds a special place. A product based on pure cannabidiol without psychoactive effects, it can be a useful addition to a dog or cat's daily diet for gentle regulation of emotional state, pain reduction, immune system support, and overall body balance.
How does cannabidiol affect the animal body?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound found in hemp that interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). This system is present in the body of all mammals and performs a key function - regulating sleep, appetite, pain, mood, inflammation and immune response. It is through the interaction of CBD with ECS receptors that a mild but effective correction of physiological reactions is achieved, which is extremely important for animals prone to stress or chronic conditions.
When should you introduce CBD into your pet's diet?
Reducing anxiety and stress reactions
Many animals experience increased levels of anxiety during thunderstorms, noisy holidays, car trips, or visits to the vet. In such cases, CBD oil for dogs and cats acts as a mild natural anxiolytic, reducing levels of the stress hormone (cortisol) and promoting relaxation.
Recommended use for:
- phobias of loud sounds (fireworks, thunder);
- separation anxiety;
- unpredictable behavior during a haircut or a visit to the clinic;
- hyperactivity in young dogs.
Relief of pain and inflammatory symptoms
For conditions such as arthritis, dysplasia, post-traumatic or post-operative pain, cannabidiol oil for animals provides natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, allowing you to reduce discomfort without the side effects of traditional medications.
Dosage and method of use
The bottle is equipped with a convenient pipette that allows you to accurately measure the number of drops.
Total volume: 30 ml.
One drop contains approximately 1.6 mg of cannabidiol (CBD).
Recommended norms:
- Medium-sized animals (10–25 kg) – 1 to 3 drops per day.
- Large animals (over 25 kg) – 3–5 drops per day.
You should start with the smallest amount, gradually increasing the dose, focusing on the well-being and behavior of your pet. Before the first use, it is advisable to consult a veterinarian.
How to inject CBD:
- mix with the main feed;
- drip directly into the oral cavity;
- use in courses (for example, 30 days) or as needed.
Precautions and contraindications
CBD products are well tolerated by most animals, but there are situations when use should be coordinated with a veterinarian or avoided altogether:
- Pregnancy and lactation: Due to the lack of sufficient studies, it is not recommended for use in pregnant or lactating animals.
- Liver problems: Since cannabidiol is metabolized in the liver, animals with diagnosed liver failure should only be treated with the drug under the supervision of a specialist.
- Cardiovascular diseases. CBD can affect blood pressure and heart rate. Therefore, in case of heart disease, the decision to use it should be made only after examination by a veterinarian.
Taking other medications
Cannabidiol can interact with a number of medications (including anticonvulsants, analgesics, steroids). To avoid side effects, prior consultation with a veterinarian is mandatory.
- Allergic reactions or intolerances
- In rare cases, the following manifestations are possible:
- itching, rash;
- digestive disorders (nausea, diarrhea);
- lethargy or loss of activity.
If such symptoms appear, use should be discontinued and consult a specialist.
CBD can be used:
- with degenerative joint diseases;
- during recovery after operations;
- for pain in the spine or muscles;
- to improve the quality of life of elderly animals.
Control of epileptic seizures
Studies show that cannabidiol can reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. For dogs and cats diagnosed with epilepsy, CBD pet oil can serve as an additional tool to reduce symptoms in conjunction with primary therapy.
Appetite and digestive disorders
Poor appetite, nausea, constipation, or antibiotic reactions are common situations in which a CBD oil formula can improve the condition of the animal. The oil gently stimulates the appetite, supports the function of the digestive tract, and also helps to normalize the intestinal microflora.
CBD will help with:
- refusal of food;
- vomiting or diarrhea;
- irritable bowel syndrome;
- recovery after a course of antibiotics or chemotherapy.
Immunity support
CBD has the potential to modulate the immune response, making it effective in combating chronic inflammation or autoimmune reactions. Regular use can enhance the body's natural defenses, particularly in conditions of environmental or viral stress.
Palliative care for oncology
Although CBD is not a cure for cancer, its inclusion in the diet of animals diagnosed with cancer can reduce discomfort, increase appetite, and improve overall psycho-emotional well-being, especially when combined with chemotherapy.
