So, Your Pet Doesn’t Like the Taste of CBD?

Posted on by Paaez Coleman

Here’s 4 Ways to Get Around it

CBD has become quite the buzzword in the world of pet health, and for good reason! Many pet owners have discovered the potential benefits CBD possesses that can help alleviate various issues, from anxiety to discomfort in the body.

However, there’s a tiny hiccup that can get in the way of your furry friend enjoying the benefits of CBD — the taste. If this sounds familiar, your pet probably isn’t feeling the bitter, earthy taste that some CBD products have.

So, what’s a pet parent to do? Fear not, because we’ve got you covered with five creative and pet-approved ways to make sure your pet loves the taste of CBD!

1. The Art of the CBD-Infused Treat

Imagine a world where taking medicine tasted just like your favorite treat. Well, for your pet, that dream can become a reality with CBD-infused treats. These tasty morsels not only deliver the potential health benefits of CBD but also satisfy your pet’s taste buds.

How to Do It:

  • Look for pre-made CBD-infused treats like our CBD Treats for Dogs. They have a delicious sweet potato flavor that your dog will love and smell like freshly baked oatmeal cookies! Treats like this come in a variety of flavors and concentrations, so you can tailor your pet’s experience to flavors you know they like.
  • If you’re feeling adventurous, try making your own CBD treats at home. There are numerous easy-to-follow recipes available that allow you to customize the flavor to your pet’s liking. You can get a treat maker and test out different recipes that you create with our CBD Oil for Dogs.
  • Keep an eye on the dosage, ensuring each treat contains the right amount of CBD for your pet’s size and needs.

Why It Works:

  • Tasty Alternative: CBD-infused treats offer an ingenious solution, making the administration of potentially beneficial CBD a delicious experience for pets. Instead of struggling with pills or unpleasant-tasting liquids, your pet can enjoy a treat that they genuinely look forward to.
  • Tailored to Their Palate: One of the fantastic aspects of CBD-infused treats is the variety of flavors available. Brands like ours offer an array of flavors and concentrations, allowing you to select the perfect treat that matches your pet’s preferences.
  • Adventurous DIY Options: If you’re feeling adventurous or simply enjoy crafting special treats for your pet, making CBD treats at home is a rewarding option. There are plenty of user-friendly recipes online that enable you to tailor the flavor to your pet’s liking. Additionally, having the freedom to use CBD Oil for Dogs in your recipes provides flexibility in dosage and flavor profiles. You can even invest in a treat maker to create unique, CBD-infused goodies for your pet, adding an extra layer of love and care to their treats.

2. Mix It Up: CBD and Your Pet’s Favorite Foods

If you have a food-loving pet, this method might be the perfect solution. Mixing CBD oil with your pet’s favorite foods can make the experience enjoyable for both of you.

How to Do It:

  • Stir CBD oil into wet food. Make sure to mix it thoroughly to distribute the CBD evenly.
  • For dry food lovers, you can drizzle CBD oil over kibble. Again, ensure it’s well-distributed so your pet doesn’t pick around it.

Why It Works:

  • Easy Integration into Daily Routine: Mixing CBD oil with your pet’s favorite foods is a brilliant way to seamlessly integrate the potential benefits of CBD into their daily routine. For pets who are already enthusiastic about mealtime, this method can transform what could be seen as medication into a delightful addition to their food.
  • Helps Reduce Stress for Your Pet: For many pets, the introduction of new supplements or medications can be a source of stress. By blending CBD oil with their familiar and beloved foods, you create a sense of comfort and familiarity. This reduces the chances of resistance or reluctance during administration, making the process smoother and less stressful for both you and your pet.
  • Versatile for Different Preferences: Whether your pet prefers wet or dry food, this method caters to their preferences. For wet food enthusiasts, simply stirring CBD oil into the meal is a quick and straightforward process. On the other hand, if your pet enjoys dry kibble, drizzling CBD oil over it allows them to savor their usual meal with a delightful CBD twist.

3. CBD Peanut Butter for Dogs

CBD-infused Peanut Butter for dogs works because it combines the irresistible taste of peanut butter with the potential benefits of CBD. It’s a seamless way to introduce CBD into your dog’s diet, promotes mental stimulation, supports cognitive function, and provides a flexible and versatile option for CBD administration. Plus, let’s be honest: what dog can resist the allure of peanut butter?

How to Do It:

  • Mix some of our CBD-infused Peanut Butter into their food! Your dog will love this addition since each jar combines the nutty goodness of organic dry roasted peanuts, the natural benefits of organic MCT oil, the sweetness of organic honey, and the power of Full Spectrum CBD.
  • Pair CBD-infused Peanut Butter with kong-style stimulation toys. It’s rich, delicious, and the perfect anytime snack for your furry friend. Plus, it goes beyond just satisfying their taste buds; it supports cognitive function (especially when you pair it with the lick mat), ensuring your pet stays sharp and in top mental shape. But, seriously, what dog can resist peanut butter?!

Why It Works:

  • Irresistible Flavor: Dogs have a well-known weakness for the rich and nutty taste of peanut butter. When you introduce CBD-infused Peanut Butter into their mealtime, you’re not just adding a supplement; you’re turning their regular food into a mouthwatering delight. The combination of organic dry roasted peanuts, organic MCT oil, organic honey, and Full Spectrum CBD creates a flavor explosion that dogs can’t resist.
  • Seamless Integration: Mixing CBD-infused Peanut Butter into your dog’s food is a seamless integration of CBD into their diet. For dogs that eagerly devour their meals, this method ensures that they receive the potential benefits of CBD without any fuss or resistance. It’s a win-win for both you and your pet.
  • Pairs with Interactive Toys: CBD-infused Peanut Butter also pairs wonderfully with kong-style stimulation toys. These toys are designed to engage your dog’s mind and provide hours of entertainment. By filling them with CBD-infused Peanut Butter, you transform playtime into a rewarding and mentally stimulating activity. Not only do they enjoy the taste, but they also get the cognitive benefits of staying sharp and engaged.
  • Supports Cognitive Function: Beyond being a delectable treat, CBD-infused Peanut Butter offers support for your pet’s cognitive function. The combination of organic MCT oil and Full Spectrum CBD has the potential to boost mental clarity and acuity. This means your furry friend can maintain their cognitive health while savoring the delicious flavor.

4. Topical CBD Products: Skin-Deep Relief

Topical CBD products work effectively for pets because they provide targeted relief, are non-invasive and painless, offer ease of use, facilitate quick absorption, reduce systemic effects, and come with clear dosing guidelines. This method is particularly advantageous for pets with specific discomforts and for those with finicky eating habits, ensuring that your pet receives the relief they need without any hassle.

How to Do It:

  • Look for pet-specific CBD balms or creams. These products are designed for topical application and can be massaged into areas where your pet needs relief, such as sore joints or itchy skin.
  • Pay attention to the recommended dosage and application instructions provided on the product label.
  • This method is particularly useful for cats and dogs, who are notoriously picky eaters.

Why It Works:

  • Targeted Relief: Topical CBD products offer targeted relief, making them an effective solution for addressing specific discomforts in your pet. Whether your furry friend is dealing with sore joints, skin irritations, or other localized issues, applying a pet-specific CBD balm or cream directly to the affected area allows for precise and rapid relief.
  • Non-Invasive and Painless: Topical application is non-invasive and painless, which can be especially beneficial for pets that may be resistant to other methods of CBD administration. Cats and dogs, in particular, can be notoriously picky eaters, making it challenging to administer CBD orally. Topical products eliminate this challenge, ensuring your pet receives the benefits of CBD without any fuss.
  • Ease of Use: Applying a CBD balm or cream to your pet’s skin is a straightforward process. Many pet-specific CBD products come with clear application instructions on the label, making it easy for pet owners to use them correctly. This ease of use ensures that you can provide your pet with relief without the need for complicated procedures.
  • Quick Absorption: Topical CBD products are designed for quick absorption through the skin, allowing the CBD to interact with local receptors and provide rapid relief. This means that your pet can experience the benefits of CBD without waiting for it to pass through their digestive system, resulting in faster relief for their discomfort.
  • Reduced Systemic Effects: Unlike oral CBD administration, which may have systemic effects throughout the body, topical CBD products primarily target the specific area of application. This can be advantageous when you want to address localized issues without affecting your pet’s entire system. It’s a more precise way to deliver relief where it’s needed most.

Conclusion

Getting your pet to embrace the benefits of CBD doesn’t have to be a battle of wills. With these creative and pet-approved methods, you can make CBD a tasty and enjoyable experience for your furry friend.

Remember, always consult your veterinarian and prioritize your pet’s well-being when introducing any new supplement or treatment into their routine. Here’s to a happier and healthier life for both you and your beloved companion!

CBD for Dogs: Mental Stimulation with Brain Games and Puzzles

Posted on by Paaez Coleman

Did you know CBD for dogs can help your furry companion live a happier, relaxed life? You always hear about the importance of your dog getting enough physical exercise — but what about mental stimulation? Just like humans, dogs benefit from mental stimulation to maintain their overall well-being.

There are many benefits associated with providing challenging brain games for dogs that help stimulate concentration, problem-solving, memory, and more. Plus, it helps ensure you have a healthy, happy pup!

So, in this blog, we’ll delve into the world of mental stimulation for dogs, exploring the benefits of brain games and puzzles. But we’ll also show you how to take it a step further with Penelope’s Bloom CBD products, including the incredible CBD Lick Mat with CBD-infused Peanut Butter.

So, grab your precious four-legged friend, and let’s embark on a journey to keep their tails wagging and their minds sharp.

Why Your Dog Needs Mental Stimulation

Before we dive into the fun world of brain games and puzzles, let’s understand why mental stimulation is crucial for your canine companion.

Dogs, no matter their breed or size, thrive on mental challenges. Mental stimulation not only keeps them engaged but also helps prevent boredom, which can lead to destructive behaviors.

When your dog’s brain is active and entertained, they are less likely to engage in destructive activities like chewing your favorite shoes or digging holes in your baseboards.

Here are some of the behaviors you may notice if your dog lacks mental stimulation:

Chewing: Dogs may resort to chewing on furniture, shoes, or household items to relieve their boredom and excess energy.

Anxiety: Dogs lacking mental stimulation may exhibit anxious behaviors, such as excessive panting, trembling, or hiding, as they struggle to cope with restlessness and unease.

Digging: Unstimulated dogs often dig up the yard or garden, seeking an outlet for their pent-up energy and curiosity.

Excessive Barking: Bored dogs may bark excessively, whether it’s at passersby, neighborhood noises, or simply out of frustration.

Restlessness: Restlessness and pacing are common signs of a bored dog. They may roam around the house aimlessly, seeking something to do.

Weight Gain: Lack of mental stimulation can contribute to weight gain as dogs may turn to overeating when they’re not mentally engaged.

Attention-Seeking Behaviors: Dogs may resort to attention-seeking behaviors such as pawing, nudging, or barking for interaction when bored.

Now, it is worth noting that these behaviors could stem from other things — but that’s why the combination of mental stimulation is a match made in doggie heaven! CBD for dogs provides a wealth of benefits that cover a wide range of issues.

That said, we’ve lined up some mental challenges that pair well with Penelope’s Bloom CBD for dogs products to help soothe and stimulate. Let’s start by looking at some of our favorite games and puzzles for dogs.

Exploring Brain Games and Puzzles for Dogs

Now, let’s talk about the stars of the show — dog brain games and puzzles! These are fantastic tools for mental stimulation, designed to challenge your dog’s cognitive abilities.

Brain games and puzzles for dogs come in various forms, from treat-dispensing toys to interactive puzzles. These games stimulate their minds and provide physical exercise, contributing to a well-rounded lifestyle.

Types of Brain Games and Puzzles

Treat-Dispensing Toys: These toys, like the classic Kong, can keep your dog busy for hours as they try to get the treats inside.

Hide and Seek: This is a great way to challenge your pup and get some quality playtime — especially if you already have kiddos playing hide and seek!

Interactive Puzzles: These puzzles are like a game of hide and seek for your dog. They require your furry friend to figure out how to access the hidden treats.

Food & Lick Mats: There are all kinds of dog mats available, ranging from mats that encourage your dog to forage for their food, mimicking the hunting instincts of their wild ancestors. And then there are the lick mats that provide an entirely different soothing sensation — especially if licking is your pup’s love language!

Scent-Based Games: These games rely on your dog’s extraordinary sense of smell to locate hidden treats or toys.

Obstacle Courses: You can create an obstacle course in your home with chairs, brooms, mops, and any household item and challenge your pup to find their way through. You could also find puppy play areas with obstacle courses already constructed.

How can you take these brain games to the next level for a calmer and more relaxed dog? Enter Penelope’s Bloom CBD products.

Incorporating CBD for Calming Benefits

CBD, short for cannabidiol, has gained popularity for its potential benefits in promoting calmness and relaxation in pets. It’s derived from hemp and non-psychoactive, meaning it won’t get your dog high. Instead, it offers a natural way to help soothe anxiety and stress in dogs.

You might be wondering what leads to dog stress and anxiety in the first place. Well, just like humans, it could be a wide variety of things — like lack of mental stimulation, for instance!

Penelope’s Bloom understands the importance of your dog’s well-being, and that’s why we’ve developed a range of CBD products for dogs. Among our best sellers is the CBD Lick Mat with CBD-infused Peanut Butter.

CBD Lick Mat with CBD-Infused Peanut Butter

Did you know licking is a natural self-soothing behavior for dogs? Moreover, it can be exceptionally comforting when they have something delicious to lick! This is where a lick mat with CBD-infused peanut butter comes into play. Let’s break down this dynamic duo, starting with the CBD-Infused Peanut Butter for dogs!

Our CBD-infused peanut butter is a powerhouse of carefully selected ingredients, each contributing to a delectable and beneficial treat for your canine companion.

Organic Dry Roasted Peanut Butter

At the heart of our blend is organic dry-roasted peanut butter. Packed with essential nutrients, it provides a delectable base for your dog’s enjoyment. Rich in vitamins B6 and E, niacin, protein, and healthy fats, it’s delicious and nutritious.

MCT Oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides)

Our recipe includes Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) Oil derived from coconuts. These ‘good’ fats offer a source of fuel and energy, ensuring your pup has the vigor for every adventure. But that’s not all – MCTs also bring anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties to the mix, promoting overall wellness.

Honey – Nature’s Superfood

Yes, honey! This superfood isn’t just for humans; it benefits our furry friends too. Honey adds a natural sweetness while delivering a plethora of antioxidants. It’s a treasure trove of vitamins and minerals, relieves allergies and skin irritations, and provides a quick energy boost when your dog needs it most.

Organic Full Spectrum CBD

The star of our CBD-infused peanut butter is organic, full-spectrum CBD. This exceptional form of CBD oil captures the full spectrum of natural benefits in the hemp plant.

It includes fatty acids, a range of cannabinoids (such as CBN and CBG, with minimal THC content of 0.03% or less), terpenes, and flavonoids. This holistic approach ensures that your dog receives the maximum therapeutic benefits of CBD.

With these thoughtfully selected ingredients, our CBD-infused peanut butter isn’t just a tasty treat – it’s a wellness boost for your cherished pet.

Furthermore, the repetitive action of licking the mat, combined with the calming effects of CBD, can help reduce anxiety and stress in dogs. The CBD-infused peanut butter not only adds a delicious flavor but also offers potential benefits in promoting a sense of calm.

It’s a win-win solution for both mental stimulation and relaxation, providing a pleasurable and soothing activity that can contribute to your dog’s overall well-being.

Imagine combining the joy of brain games and puzzles with the calming effects of CBD — that’s precisely what you get with Penelope’s Bloom CBD Lick Mat with CBD-infused Peanut Butter.

Choosing High-Quality CBD Products

Quality should be your guiding star when you’re on the hunt for top-notch CBD products for dogs. When scoping out potential CBD products to add to your dog’s daily routine, pay close attention to the source of the CBD.

You want to note where it’s grown and how the cannabinoids are extracted, and the product has independent third-party lab tests to ensure it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals, toxins, heavy metals, or pesticides.

As dedicated pet lovers, we understand the importance of quality and take pride in offering top-notch CBD products for dogs backed by rigorous lab testing. Most importantly, we know that high-quality ingredients mean a better experience for your pet!

Conclusion

Mental stimulation is essential for keeping your canine companion happy and calm. Brain games and puzzles are fantastic tools to help provide that stimulation, and when combined with high-quality CBD products like Penelope’s Bloom CBD Lick Mat with CBD-infused Peanut Butter, you can take your dog’s well-being to new heights!

Remember, a joyful dog is a healthy dog, and by investing in their mental and emotional health, you’re ensuring that their tail keeps wagging with joy.

So, try some brain games, and treat your dog to the calming goodness of CBD-infused Peanut Butter from Penelope’s Bloom. Your furry friend will thank you with lots of kisses and endless tail wags!

How to Use CBD Tinctures for Your Dog?

Posted on by Paaez Coleman

CBD has become the buzzword in pet health circles, offering a holistic approach to addressing a wide range of dog issues. And many people think of all CBD Dog Products, CBD tinctures might be the tail-wagging ticket if you’re seeking natural solutions to enhance your dog’s well-being. This article take a deep dive into CBD for pets!

Not sure where you stand on the matter? Don’t worry! We’re about to embark on a journey through the world of CBD tinctures for dogs, with a special focus on a flavor that’s bound to make your pup drool — peanut butter!

We’ll uncover the secrets to understanding CBD choosing the perfect tincture, serving amounts, how to administer, and much more! So, cuddle up with your furry friend, and let’s dive into the remarkable world of CBD for dogs.

Understanding CBD for Dogs

Your dog is like one of your kids, right? Well, a little more furry with drool kisses — but still! When anything happens to them, or you’re contemplating adding something to their daily routine, there’s a strong (almost concrete) need to understand the basics. That said, let’s dissect the basics of CBD for dogs.

What is CBD for Pets?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally-occurring compound that comes from the cannabis plant. But here’s the thing. When people hear “cannabis,” they automatically think about THC — the compound with psychoactive effects that you must be cautious with at times.

However, the effects of CBD and THC are like night and day. By working with the endocannabinoid system, CBD dog products fosters calming, soothing vibes covering a wide range of concerns to promote balance and well-being.

Is CBD for pets safe for dogs?

Yes! Several studies have observed the effects of cannabinoids on dogs, and the consensus is that it’s safe for your pet. Much of the research leans on ensuring your dog’s CBD product comes with reputable standard practices and regulations to ensure purity and correct potency.

Now that we’ve got a paw in the door of the CBD Dog Product world, it’s time to dig deeper and find the perfect CBD tincture for your four-legged friend.

Choosing the Right CBD Tincture for Dogs

Just like choosing the right collar or toy, selecting the ideal CBD Dog product requires a bit of savvy. Let’s embark on this journey together and explore the different types of CBD tinctures available for your furry companion.

Types of CBD Tinctures

CBD tinctures for dogs come in three primary types:

Full-Spectrum Tinctures: These tinctures contain an array of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds found in the cannabis plant. They may even contain trace amounts of THC, although not enough to cause any psychoactive effects.

Basically, full-spectrum CBD tinctures for dogs contain the “full-spectrum” of the plant’s genetic benefits. This means these compounds are all present and able to work in harmony to provide your fur baby the best results possible!

Broad-Spectrum Tinctures: Broad-spectrum tinctures provide many of the same compounds as full-spectrum tinctures but with one notable exception — all traces of THC are removed during the extraction process.

The downside here is that you lose some of the other cannabinoids during this process. Still, it’s a great option for pet owners who want their dogs to experience the potential benefits of multiple cannabinoids without any THC exposure.

CBD Isolate Tinctures: Isolate tinctures are the purest form of CBD, containing only cannabidiol and no other cannabinoids or terpenes. These tinctures are perfect for pet owners who want to focus solely on the benefits of CBD without any additional compounds.

Flavored CBD Tinctures: Many CBD tinctures, like the ones discussed above, come in a variety of flavors, making it easier to administer to your dog. Popular flavors include peanut butter, chicken, bacon, and even salmon. In fact, we just released a Peanut Butter CBD Tincture Oil for Dogs and all our pup friends are absolutely loving it!

Higher Concentration CBD Tinctures: The concentration of CBD in tinctures can vary widely. Higher concentrations are typically better suited for larger dogs or dogs with more severe conditions, while lower concentrations work well for smaller dogs or for promoting overall well-being.

Pro Tip: If you’re looking for CBD Tincture Oils for Dogs with higher concentrations, we have formulas that go up to 1000 mg! 

Additionally, always check the product labels for information on the CBD content, ingredients, and dosing instructions. Opt for products that have undergone third-party lab testing to ensure their potency and safety.

This leads us to one of the top FAQs we get about CBD tinctures for dogs…

How Much CBD Should I Give My Dog? 

So, you purchased a CBD Tincture for your dog — now what? You’re probably a little confused about how much to give them and when. Let’s talk about it.

The appropriate dosage depends on several factors, including your dog’s weight, age, metabolism, and the concentration of the CBD tincture. To ensure your dog receives the right amount, start with a small amount and gradually increase as needed.

Factors Influencing CBD Serving Amounts

  • Weight – Your dog’s weight plays a significant role in determining the appropriate CBD dosage. Generally, smaller dogs require less CBD, while larger dogs may need more.
  • Age- Age can also be a factor. Older dogs may have different needs than younger ones, so it’s essential to consider your dog’s age when determining the dosage.
  • Concentration- The concentration of CBD in the tincture you’re using is crucial. Higher-concentration tinctures contain more CBD per drop, so you’ll need less to achieve the desired effect.
  • Metabolism – Each dog’s metabolism is unique, meaning that the exact dosage may affect different dogs differently. Be attentive to your dog’s response to the CBD and adjust the dosage accordingly.

Recommended Starting Approach

As a starting point for all CBD for pets products, it’s often recommended to begin with a low serving amount, typically around 0.05mg to 0.25mg of CBD per pound of your dog’s body weight. Starting with a smaller amount allows you to assess how your dog responds to CBD without overwhelming their system.

Remember, CBD may take some time to show its effects, so patience is key. Some dogs (even humans) need to allow time for the cannabinoids to build up enough to interact with the endocannabinoid system.

Keep a journal to document your dog’s response, noting any changes in behavior, mood, or physical well-being. Gradually increase the dosage if necessary, observing your dog’s reaction closely.

By starting small and working your way up in concentration as needed, you can ensure your dog receives the optimal amount of CBD for their specific requirements. This patient and tailored approach can help you achieve the desired results while prioritizing your dog’s safety and well-being.

How to Give Your Dog CBD Tinctures

Now that you’ve chosen the right CBD Dog product (tincture) for your dog and determined the appropriate dosage, it’s time to discuss the different ways you can give it to them, along with some essential tips for a smooth and successful experience.

Oral Ingestion: This is perhaps the most straightforward and common method. Using the dropper provided with the tincture, place the desired dose of CBD under your dog’s tongue or along their gum line. This allows for sublingual absorption, which can lead to quicker effects as the CBD is absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

Mixing with Food or Treats: While some dogs don’t mind the taste of CBD tinctures, others may be a bit pickier. In such cases, you can easily mix the tincture with your dog’s regular food or favorite treats. This not only masks the flavor but also turns the CBD into a tasty surprise during mealtime.

Sublingual Administration: For dogs that readily accept the sublingual method, placing the tincture directly under their tongue can lead to faster absorption. However, it’s worth noting that this approach may be a bit challenging if your dog tends to resist or move around during administration.

Wrapping Up

In conclusion, introducing CBD tinctures to your dog’s routine can be a rewarding journey towards enhancing their well-being naturally. As you embark on this path, remember that patience and careful observation are your greatest allies.

Keep a watchful eye on any changes in behavior, mood, or physical condition. Positive signs, such as reduced anxiety, improved comfort, or enhanced mobility, indicate that CBD may be benefiting your dog.

Consistent servings help ensure your dog receives a steady supply of CBD, whether you’re addressing conditions or promoting overall well-being. Remember, every dog is an individual, and their response to CBD may differ. Some may experience noticeable improvements swiftly, while others might require more time to adjust.

With your careful attention and a little patience, you can help your furry friend enjoy the potential benefits of CBD tinctures, providing them with the love and care they deserve. Here’s to your dog’s continued health and happiness!

How to Travel with Nervous Pets?

Posted on by Paaez Coleman

Are you ready to take a trip with your furry friend but worried about how they’ll handle the stress of travel? You’re not alone! Many pet owners are in the same boat, concerned about their pet’s nervousness and anxiety during long journeys.

Well, we have good news! There’s a natural solution that can help your pet stay calm and relaxed during travel: CBD. That’s right, CBD isn’t just for humans – it can also be a game-changer for nervous pets!

In this blog, we’ll explore how CBD can help your furry friend travel with ease. From the science behind CBD’s calming effects to practical tips for administering CBD to your pet, we’ve got you covered. So grab a snack (and a bowl of kibble for your fur baby), and let’s dive in!

How CBD for Pets Works

CBD, or cannabidiol, has been gaining popularity as a natural remedy for a wide range of health-related issues in both humans and animals. However, when it comes to nervous dogs, CBD has been shown to have several key benefits that can help to alleviate anxiety and promote a sense of calm during travel.

CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in a dog’s body — the system responsible for regulating a range of bodily functions, including mood, appetite, and sleep.

When a dog is experiencing anxiety or stress, the endocannabinoid system can become imbalanced, leading to a range of symptoms such as restlessness, pacing, and excessive barking. CBD can help to restore this balance by binding to the cannabinoid receptors in the brain and body, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation.

CBD helps relieve discomfort connected to inflammation and other issues, particularly for dogs that experience motion sickness during travel. Motion sickness is often accompanied by nausea which can cause discomfort and distress for the animal. CBD helps soothe the digestive tract, relieve nausea, and soothe the symptoms of motion sickness.

Finally, CBD supplies sleep-inducing properties, making it an effective treatment for sleep issues in dogs. Travel can often disrupt a dog’s sleep routine, leading to restlessness and fatigue. By helping your dog get a good night’s rest, CBD can improve their mood and reduce stress during travel.

Overall, CBD offers a natural and effective solution for pet owners looking to alleviate anxiety and promote a sense of calm during travel. CBD can help ensure a safe and stress-free journey for your furry friend with its range of therapeutic benefits.

Now that we’ve covered some of the basics let’s explore three specific ways you can use CBD for your pet when travel plans are on the horizon.

How CBD Helps Nervous Pets During Travel

Helps Reduce Stress and Anxiety

One of the biggest benefits of CBD for pets is its ability to reduce stress and anxiety. This is possible since CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system in a dog’s body, which helps to regulate emotions and mood.

When a dog is anxious, the endocannabinoid system can become imbalanced, leading to symptoms such as restlessness, pacing, and excessive barking. CBD can help to restore this balance, making your dog feel more relaxed and calm during travel.

Soothes Motion Sickness

Many dogs experience motion sickness during car rides, which can be uncomfortable and stressful for both the pet and the owner.

CBD also possesses anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an effective treatment for motion sickness in dogs. By reducing nausea and inflammation, CBD can help to relieve your dog’s discomfort and make travel a more pleasant experience.

Encourages Better Sleep

Travel can disrupt a dog’s sleep routine, leading to restlessness and fatigue. However, CBD has been shown to have sleep-inducing properties, making it an effective treatment for sleep issues in dogs.

By helping your dog get a good night’s rest, CBD can improve their mood and reduce stress during travel.

How to Find the Best CBD Products for Your Pet

Now that you have all the necessary information, it’s time to figure out which product works best for your pet. Let’s explore some top CBD pet products to consider adding to your pet’s travel routine. There are a few vital factors to consider when searching for the best CBD product (especially regarding travel anxiety). Here are some top recommendations for CBD pet products that are perfect for travel:

CBD Oil Tinctures

CBD Oil for Dogs is a popular choice for pet owners because it’s easy to administer and fast-acting. Simply drop the desired amount of oil into your pet’s mouth or onto their food, and wait for the effects to kick in. CBD oil for dogs is also portable and comes in small, travel-friendly bottles.

CBD Treats

CBD Treats are an excellent option for pets that are picky eaters or have difficulty taking medication. Our CBD Treats for Stress + Anxiety are a tasty and convenient way to administer CBD to your pet during travel since they’re easy to pack and take on the go.

CBD Topicals

3 Easy Peanut Butter CBD Treat Recipes for Your Dog

Posted on by Paaez Coleman

Dogs are not just pets but an integral part of our family. As dog owners, we always strive to provide our furry friends with the best care and nutrition. With the increasing popularity of CBD for its potential health benefits, many dog owners are turning to CBD-infused treats for their pets.

Peanut butter is loved by all dogs, and when combined with CBD, it offers a tasty, healthy treat. So this was a no-brainer to us — let’s explore three delicious CBD peanut butter recipes packed with nutrients to keep your dog healthy and happy.

But first, to make sure we’re all on the same page, let’s briefly discuss what CBD for dogs is and how it can help your pup!

What is CBD for Dogs?

CBD, or cannabidiol, has gained a lot of popularity for its potential health benefits for both humans and animals. CBD for dogs is a natural supplement that helps with a wide range of health-related concerns.

So, you’re probably wondering how it works? Good question! CBD works with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the body — regulating various physiological functions like mood, appetite, and sleep. When CBD is ingested, it binds with the receptors in the ECS and can help restore balance and promote overall wellness in dogs.

Unlike THC, another compound found in the hemp plant, CBD does not have psychoactive properties, which means it won’t make your dog feel “high.” CBD for dogs is generally safe and well-tolerated, but consult with your vet if you have any questions or concerns.

Why Make Homemade Dog Treats?

If you’re considering adding CBD to your dog’s diet, making homemade treats with Penelope’s Bloom CBD oil for dogs is a great option. Penelope’s Bloom is a trusted brand that uses high-quality, organic CBD oil in their products.

By making your dog’s treats at home with Penelope’s Bloom CBD oil, you can ensure that your furry friend receives the exact amount of CBD you want them to have while knowing that the ingredients used are safe and healthy.

Additionally, making treats at home allows you to tailor them to your dog’s specific dietary needs and preferences. With Penelope’s Bloom CBD oil, you can create delicious and nutritious homemade treats that will satisfy your dog’s cravings and provide them with the potential benefits of CBD, such as reduced anxiety and improved joint health.

Now that we know the benefits of using Penelope’s Bloom CBD oil for dogs in homemade treats let’s look at some delicious recipes you can make for your furry friend.

5 Ways to Use CBD Balms for Your Dog

Posted on by Paaez Coleman

As dedicated pet owners ourselves, we understand why it’s important to keep your furry friends happy and healthy. From regular walks to quality food, we do everything possible to ensure our dogs feel their best. However, sometimes they may experience discomfort or pain, which can be difficult to alleviate without prescription medication.

That’s where CBD Dog Balms come into the picture! CBD, or cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound in the hemp plant known for its therapeutic properties. And this is why CBD balms for dogs have become increasingly popular among pet owners as a natural alternative to traditional medication.

CBD Dog Balms help soothe sore muscles and joints and promote overall wellness when applied topically — giving your dog a soothing sense of relief they can look forward to!

If you’ve been debating whether or not you should add CBD Balms to your dog’s wellness routine, you definitely want to keep reading!

Why? 

Because In this article, we’ll explore five ways to use CBD balms for your dog! From easing anxiety to discomfort, we’ll cover the benefits of CBD balms and how they can help improve your dog’s quality of life.

So, grab a blanket, snuggle up with your pup, and let’s dive into five ways to take advantage of CBD Balm for dogs!

1. Supports Overall Wellness

Even if your dog has no specific health issues, CBD balms can still benefit their overall health and wellness. The anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties of the balm can help keep your dog’s skin and coat healthy, while the calming properties can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.

2. Great Way to Create a Doggie Self-Care Routine

Who says pups don’t like to indulge in a bit of self-care from time to time? That said, why not treat your dog to a spa treatment by massaging CBD balm onto their paw pads?

Not only will it moisturize their rough paws, but it can also help alleviate any pain from long walks or excessive licking. In addition, if your dog suffers from acne or other skin irritations, CBD balm can work wonders on their face. Give them a relaxing facial massage with the balm to help reduce inflammation and promote clear, healthy skin.

3. Helps Soothe Skin Irritations

Have you ever noticed your dog excessively scratching the same area? Dog owners often overlook this — but it could be a sign of something a little more troubling for your dog.

Some dogs get skin irritations such as hot spots, dry patches, or allergies, and the anti-inflammatory properties that CBD balms contain help provide fast-acting relief. Within no time, you’ll see how these soothing formulations help reduce redness and inflammation, while the moisturizing properties of the balm can help soothe dry, itchy skin.

4. Post-Workout Therapy

CBD balms are great for post-workout recovery since they reduce inflammation and soothe sore muscles. If your dog is very active, they may experience muscle soreness and fatigue after a workout or a long day of play. If you notice that a certain area seems to be troubling them, all you have to do is apply a little bit of the balm to the affected area and massage it gently.

5. Helps Relax Joint Discomfort

As dogs age, they can experience joint pain and stiffness, just like humans. This can make it difficult to move around and affect their quality of life. CBD Dog Balms can help ease joint pain by reducing inflammation in the affected area. Look for balms that contain soothing ingredients like lavender or chamomile. Once you find the best one for your pup, all you have to do is apply the balm directly to your dog’s joints.

Okay, so now that we’ve covered all the different ways your dog can take advantage of a soothing CBD Balm, let’s talk briefly about what to look for when shopping for a high-quality balm.

Shopping for the Best CBD Dog Balm

There are so many CBD Balm products for dogs on the market, which makes it hard to figure out where to start. That’s why we’ve put together some tips to help you confidently shop for the best CBD dog balm.

First things first, make sure the product you’re considering is specifically designed for dogs. CBD balms for humans may contain harmful or irritating ingredients to dogs. So look for products labeled as pet-friendly or that specify the intended use for dogs.

Next, check the label for important information, including the amount of CBD in each jar or tube, the ingredients list, and any third-party testing or certification. You’ll want to choose a product with a clear and accurate label that includes all this information.

When it comes to ingredients, look for natural and organic options whenever possible. Avoid products that contain artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. You may also want to consider the product’s scent, as some dogs may be sensitive to certain fragrances.

Finally, read reviews from other pet owners who have used the product. Look for reviews that specifically mention the product’s effects on their dog’s health or behavior. This can give you a better idea of what to expect and whether the product is likely to work for your own furry friend.

By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to finding the best CBD dog balm for your pet.

Final Thoughts on CBD Balms for Dogs

In conclusion, CBD balms for dogs can be an effective and natural way to alleviate many discomforts in our furry friends, including pain, inflammation, and anxiety.

CBD can help promote balance and wellness in our pets by targeting the endocannabinoid system in dogs.

Choosing a high-quality CBD dog balm from a reputable manufacturer is essential. Also, if your dog has any health conditions that may cause concern, consult with your veterinarian before starting your dog on any new supplement or treatment.

CBD balms can be a valuable addition to your dog’s health and wellness routine with the right product and guidance!

5 Reasons to Use CBD Oil for Cats

Posted on by Paaez Coleman

Did you know CBD for cats is trending right now? It’s true! Cat owners are starting to see CBD helps improve the overall quality of their cats’ lives! CBD works naturally within the body, with intricate, cell-signaling systems that hold the potential to help your cat with an array of issues like body discomfort, stress, anxiety, lack of appetite, sleep issues, and mood issues, to name a few.

Still wondering how CBD can help your feline friend live their best life — every day? Let’s explore a few everyday conversations surrounding the topic before we dive into five reasons to try CBD for cats.

How CBD Works for Cats

CBD works with your cat’s endocannabinoid system to impart therapeutic benefits that boost the quality of life. CBD stands for cannabidiol, one of the cannabinoids with a strong reputation for providing calming benefits that help in various ways. Additionally, there are plenty of product types your cat can explore, like edible products, tincture oils, and balms, to name a few.

Is CBD for Cats Safe?

Yes! Our CBD products contain human-grade ingredients and undergo independent, third-party laboratory testing to ensure your cat gets the concentration, potency, and purity promised! Some pet owners worry about their cats “getting high” from CBD products, but that’s not possible with our hemp-derived CBD products because hemp contains less than 0.3% THC (the cannabinoid responsible for creating psychoactive feelings).

Now that we’ve addressed some of the most common questions let’s talk about CBD benefits for your favorite kitty!

How Cats Benefit from CBD

There are countless ways your cat can benefit from CBD and plenty more reasons to use CBD oil for cats. But we decided to narrow it down to the top four reasons cat owners make the decision to add CBD to their cat’s daily routine.

1. Helps Reduce Stress

Cats are quite adaptable in various situations, but they still get stressed like the rest of us. If you notice specific changes in your cat’s body language or behavior, something may be stressing them out.

Here are some of the most common signs of stress you’ll notice:

  • Lack of interaction
  • Aggressive behavior
  • Hiding for long periods
  • Over-grooming themselves
  • Increased vocalization
  • Scratching furniture
  • Tensed body posture

If you’ve noticed some of these signs — don’t worry!

We have plenty of products that focus on helping our feline friends find a calmer, more relaxed state of mind. CBD interacts with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in your cat’s body and its endocannabinoid system to help bring relief.

2. Great for Elderly Cats

As your cat ages, it’s not uncommon to start noticing mobility issues, weight changes, and possible mood fluctuations. CBD for cats is a great way to tackle all of these issues, especially from a proactive approach!

Our CBD Tincture Oil for Cats is loved by cat owners and their feisty feline counterparts because it’s the type of product that offers a great deal of versatility. You can add a couple of drops to their food or give them a couple of drops right under their tongue.

Another great thing about CBD Tincture Oil for Cats is that it pairs exceptionally well with your cat’s favorite meal — fish!

Pairing your cat’s CBD with foods with high-fat content helps your cat’s body absorb the cannabinoid content of the CBD oil even more since CBD needs some fatty content for absorption (boosts effectiveness). This is also why we formulate our CBD for cats with organic MCT oil!

3. It helps Calm Aggressive Behaviors

It’s no secret that some cats sometimes come off as a little aggressive. It’s one of their charming qualities! Nonetheless, some cat owners often wonder if their cat could use some assistance in calming down aggressive streaks of behavior (especially if there are kids in the home).

CBD for cats helps with these concerns too! CBD works with the needed receptors in the body to help relax, working with the endocannabinoid system that directly affects mood, among other things.

4. Soothes Anxious Feelings and Behaviors

Sometimes your cat gets anxious and nervous, too — we all do, right? CBD helps your cat adopt calming behaviors that ultimately help them find a better quality of life, which basically means they’re happier throughout the day.

Cats can experience anxiety for several reasons. First, it’s possible they weren’t appropriately socialized, so new animals and people stress them out because it’s not part of their routine. But there’s also separation anxiety, which is common amongst animals that are alone during the day. CBD works incredibly well with these types of concerns.

5. Supports a Healthy Wellness Routine

Building a daily wellness routine for your cat provides a sense of comfort (because cats thrive from routine) and helps ensure that your cat is happy and healthy.

In addition, CBD offers a wide range of therapeutic benefits since it works with the endocannabinoid system and directly influences some of your cat’s primary body functions like sleep, appetite, mood, anxiety, stress, and so much more.

Most pet owners still have lingering questions, which is perfectly fine! We understand this, and that’s why we created an entire learning section so you can get all the answers you need. Of course, you can also speak with your vet if you have questions concerning a specific condition.

Final Thoughts

There are plenty of reasons to try CBD for cats. The first step is to take note of any changes or pressing issues you notice happening with your cat. Then, see if the benefits of our CBD Tincture Oil for Cats align with the wellness goals you set out to achieve with your cat — we’re guessing it does!

4 Ways to Help Your Pet Chill

Posted on by Paaez Coleman

Have you ever felt your pet needed a little help finding their chill zone? Of course, every pet has their own personality traits, likes, dislikes, quirks, and things that make them feel uneasy. When it comes to the latter, it’s not hard to see your pet experiencing some negative emotion, whether it’s anxiety, pain, sadness, or general nervousness. However, CBD for pets has shown tremendous benefits thus far, helping pets worldwide live more fulfilled lives thanks to the therapeutic benefits cannabinoids provide.

However, pet owners often need help to figure out where CBD fits into their pet’s daily routines. We understand that it’s hard seeing your pet be anything but their usual self, so we’ve come up with four ways you can help your pet find their ultimate chill zone. So if you’ve been looking for some creative ways to spend more time with your pet that ultimately makes them happier and healthier — keep reading!

We’re going to jump in, but let’s start with some general CBD knowledge, so we’re all on the same page.

What is CBD for Pets?

CBD for pets describes the wellness benefits that cannabinoids bring into pets’ lives across the world. CBD stands for cannabidiol, and it’s one of the many cannabinoids that come from the Cannabis Sativa plant. CBD is one of the cannabinoids that offer therapeutic benefits without the intense, psychoactive effects of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

The cannabidiol cannabinoids work with the endocannabinoid system in the body and certain receptors to signal where the cannabinoids need to go to work. It’s incredible how this complex system works so naturally and effectively.

Is My Pet Stressed, Nervous, or Anxious?

There are plenty of signs to note that indicate that your pet might be feeling some of these emotions and needs some calming activities paired with CBD.

Here are a few to take note of:

  • Pacing
  • Whining or crying
  • Depressed or sad
  • Excessive barking
  • Destructive behavior
  • Aggressive behavior
  • Showing the whites of the eyes
  • Using the bathroom around the house (especially when it’s not typical behavior)

Okay, now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s explore the four ways you can help your pet chill when they need it most.

1. Go to the Park

This might seem a little simplistic, but oftentimes, your pet can feel anxious and wound up because they’re simply not getting enough exercise. When they don’t get enough exercise, you’ll notice that they may seem stressed, anxious, and bored — which may lead to behaviors like excessive barking, aggressiveness, weight gain, depression, or destructive behavior.

Suppose you think your pet could use more outside time. In that case, it’s not a bad idea to add certain CBD products into the mix, especially if you have a senior pet that has a more challenging time getting around or a pet that tends to have a harder time socializing with other pets in a park setting.

For example, if you do have a senior pet that has some joint or general mobility issues, then you’ll want to explore our CBD for Joint + Mobility Bundle option that gives you and your pet lots of options to work with — making their experience more enjoyable!

2. Music Therapy & CBD-Infused Peanut Butter

Have you ever had a really bad day, and all you wanted to do was, have a good snack and listen to some soothing tunes? Well, surprise, surprise, this approach can work for your pet too! Grab some of our all-natural, CBD-infused peanut butter and turn on some classical tunes (preferably something with harp strings) and let your pet find some peaceful resonance with the calming effects of both the tunes and cannabinoids.

Our CBD-infused peanut butter is a pup favorite at Penelope’s Bloom because it’s packed with pet-friendly cannabinoids — and a yummy peanut butter flavor that pets find irresistible. It comes in two concentrations, 300mg and 600mg, so that you can tailor the experience to your pet’s needs.

3. A CBD Pet Massage?!

Yes, you read it right — a CBD pet massage can help your pet find some zen. But honestly, is it really that surprising? Physical touch carries a lot of benefits in itself, increasing serotonin and dopamine (neurotransmitters that help boost and regulate mood while decreasing stress and anxiety).

So, with all of this in mind, it’s not surprising that massage is one of the most sought treatments to help inspire relaxation. If you want to give it a go, we suggest pairing the massage with one of our CBD Tincture Oils for Pets. You can slightly warm the oil if you’d like, then focus on the area of your pet’s body that you’d think helps stimulate the most relaxation — try the paws, hips, shoulders, and temples to start.

4. CBD Treats Never Hurt

Last but certainly not least, in our mind are the CBD Treats that your dog will look forward to for various reasons. Giving your dog a CBD dog treat is the perfect quick pick-me-up your pet might need when feeling stressed, anxious, or bored.

You can also bring CBD dog treats when you’re going anywhere that you know might create some tense emotions for your pet. This could be car rides, vet visits, park trips, or anything else that might create anxious feelings for your pet!

There are two different types of CBD treats to choose from — CBD Treats for Stress + Anxiety and CBD Treats for Joint + Mobility. Our treats are created with high-quality, human-grade ingredients that we test with third-party laboratories to ensure the purity and potency your pet needs!

Wrapping Up

Helping your pet find new ways to relax is so much easier when you bring CBD for pets into the equation. There are many products to experiment with to see which combination helps your pet the most!

5 Signs Your Dog Is Aging

Posted on by Paaez Coleman

Seeing your dog struggle with new issues that come with aging is hard. And that’s why so many dog owners turn to CBD for aging dog concerns. For example, one of the biggest issues most aging dogs experience is inflammation in the body. Luckily, CBD can help provide soothing relief for a wide range of inflammation-related issues like arthritis and joint pain.

It’s also helpful to mention that while there are plenty of peer-related studies online speaking to the success of CBD for dogs — research is still ongoing, and technically we can’t make any “claims.” That said, when you introduce CBD into your aging dog’s life, it won’t take long to see why CBD for dogs is becoming more commonplace.

Let’s talk more about the signs to watch for when your dog is aging, but more specifically, which CBD products are most helpful for your dog!

1. Your Dogs Has a Harder Time Moving Around

This usually is one of the first signs dog owners notice when they have an aging dog. You may start to see weakness in the legs, which creates difficulty getting up and down the stairs, bed, or anything else that requires jumping.

We’re dog parents ourselves, and we understand how valuable it is for dogs to have relief from this kind of discomfort that worsens with age. That’s why we created the CBD for Dogs Joint + Mobility Bundle! This bundle features three CBD products: CBD Dog Balm, CBD Treats for Joint + Mobility, and CBD Oil for Dogs.

With all three of these products, you and your distinguished pooch can find the best CBD regime that takes some of the strain out of the aging process for them.

2. You Notice Cloudiness In the Eyes

Another sign of aging in dogs is the eyes becoming more cloudy. But the good news is that it’s not often a sign of anything alarming. However, if you notice that your dog is bumping into things or seemingly having a hard time seeing, you’ll need to take them to the vet to check their eyes, as this could be a symptom of cataracts or the beginning stages of vision loss.

Many Dog owners report success using CBD to help improve cloudiness in their dog’s eyes. We’re guessing it has something to do with CBD’s ability to help reduce inflammation in the body — eyes included!

3. Your Dog Has Noticeable Weight Changes

Believe it or not, your dog’s metabolism slows with age too. And often, your dog’s physical activity level also decreases with age. These two aspects can cause noticeable weight changes in your dog.

But not to worry! Here at Penelope’s Bloom, CBD Peanut Butter is one of our favorite ways to inspire a little more movement! The beauty of this is that you can get as creative as you want. You can throw the ball for them and reward them with a treat dipped in CBD Peanut Butter — but CBD Dog Treat works just as well!

Overall, the main objective here is to understand that your dog is getting older, and you have to help them live a healthier, more active lifestyle — and adding some CBD-infused treat is always good for a few tail wags!

4. Your Dog Seems More Stressed and Anxious Lately

As dog’s age, their senses become dulled, so it’s not uncommon for elderly dogs to suffer from more stress and anxiety than usual. This can be even more stressful for dogs in the early aging process since it’s the onset of something different for them.

That’s why CBD for dogs (especially elderly and aging dogs) is such a game-changer! CBD works with your dog’s endocannabinoid system in collaboration with different receptors, including the serotonin receptors, and this helps improve your dog’s overall mood and coping abilities.

5. Your Dog Doesn’t Have an Appetite

It’s common for an aging dog to have less of an appetite than it used to have. This can happen for several reasons, but often, it’s related to some gastrointestinal issues some dogs experience when they get older.

This type of issue, and other issues, can cause nausea that keeps your dog from eating. CBD is a great way to help your dog get around this concern! However, many different things can affect your dog’s lack of appetite.

When people mention appetite concerns, we always suggest integrating our CBD-Infused Peanut Butter into their routine.

Not only will your pup love this as an added little bonus treat, but you can work it into many different aspects of their routine — adding kong-style stimulation toys, giving a spoonful as a treat, or even making some homemade dog treats with it!

Now that we’ve covered some of the main signs of aging, let’s talk more about CBD and how to use it for elderly dogs.

What is CBD?

CBD is one of the many cannabinoids that come from the Cannabis Sativa plant. There are a few exciting things we can mention about cannabinoids. It’s pretty cool because all of the cannabinoids have their own little superpowers. For example, CBD has soothing, therapeutic properties, while CBG has energizing effects when taken correctly.

CBD works with the endocannabinoid system in the body to bring out those “superpowers,” and that’s when your dog begins to feel the therapeutic benefits — chill, relaxing vibes that help release tension, stress, discomfort, and anxiousness within the body and mind.

Final Thoughts on CBD for Aging Dogs

Many pet owners successfully use CBD for their elderly and aging dogs. We know your dog is family, and you want to see them living a happy, fulfilled life! Aging is a natural process, but adding CBD to their routine can help minimize some of the stressors that come with getting older. Now, you need to decide which CBD product to start with!

Need help figuring out which CBD product your elderly dog should try first?
