How CBD Works in Dogs
CBD works in dogs the same way it works in humans. All vertebrate animals (including ourselves and our dogs and other pets) have an endocannabinoid system, made up of receptors and naturally occurring neurotransmitters called endocannabinoids. Endocannabinoids send messages to various organs and systems in the body to help them maintain balance, or homeostasis. This helps the body to regulate functions such as sleep, pain, stress, mood, memory, appetite, immunity, and others.
Hemp-derived cannabinoids (such as CBD) interact with those receptors just like the neurotransmitters made by the body. When CBD is ingested and absorbed into the bloodstream, it interacts with the endocannabinoid system, and thus lends support to various organs and systems throughout the body. The result of this is a variety of potential dog health benefits to improve the quality of life for your pet.
How Quickly Does CBD Affect Dogs?
How quickly CBD gets into your dog’s bloodstream depends on several factors, including the method by which your dog consumes the CBD, the amount of CBD your dog consumes, and your dog's own bioavailability factors, such as weight, metabolism, and CBD tolerance.
The Benefits of Giving Your Dog CBD
People have found a number of uses for CBD in their wellness routines, and it’s no different with CBD for dogs. While CBD has a wide range of benefits stemming from its interaction with the endocannabinoid system, let’s touch on a few that are especially notable in CBD for dogs.
CBD for Behavioral Issues, Stress & Anxiety in Dogs
Many dogs exhibit anxious or neurotic tendencies that can be difficult to curb and can lead to stress and anxiety for dogs. Separation anxiety, environmental stimuli, and even the stresses of daily life are issues pet parents frequently seek to relieve for their dog companions. CBD has calming properties that help your anxious dog cope with these triggers, leading to a happier pet and less undesirable or destructive behavior. If your dog experiences difficulties regularly, you can incorporate CBD into a daily routine. On the other hand, if your dog only occasionally needs help, you can give your pet a CBD-infused treat before stressful situations.Â
We have a variety of pet CBD oil items specifically designed to help relieve your dog's stress. Our CBD Oil Tincture for Dogs comes in strengths, ranging from 250 mg CBD for small breed dogs to 1000 mg CBD for the largest dogs. We also have a variety of CBD Dog Treats, including Stress & Anxiety CBD Treats for Dogs, which are also available in different mg CBD for different sized dogs. We also carry a CBD-Infused Peanut Butter for Dogs that delivers calming CBD relief in one of your dog's favorite foods. All of these CBD products for dogs are made with potent full spectrum CBD oil, derived from organic hemp.
CBD for Pain & Mobility Issues in Dogs
One of the more heartbreaking experiences as a pet parent is when you notice that your dog or cat is no longer getting around easily. Joint health supplements for pets have been around for a long time now. However, CBD offers new possibilities in providing muscle and joint support for dogs. CBD has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, in addition to easing minor aches and pains. This combination addresses both pain and swelling, and reduces joint stiffness, as well. When it comes to muscle and joint pain, CBD is a great way to provide a better quality of life for your dog.
At Penelope’s Bloom, we offer some of the best CBD muscle and joint products for dogs on the market. In addition to the wellness-boosting CBD oils and CBD peanut butter mentioned above, we also carry Joint & Mobility CBD Treats for Dogs, made with the same organic full spectrum CBD oil as the products above. Our CBD Pet Balm for Dogs & Cats delivers deeply penetrating CBD relief, plus luscious skin support. Whether you’re supplementing your dog’s health or soothing dry, cracking skin, your precious puppy will appreciate the thought you’re putting into their care when you choose quality CBD hemp products from Penelope’s Bloom.
CBD for Immune Support & Other Benefits for Dogs
In addition to being a natural calming agent, pain reliever, and anti-inflammatory, CBD also has antioxidant and antibacterial properties going for it. We take advantage of these useful benefits with our Heart & Immunity CBD Treats for Dogs. As with our other dog treats, these dog CBD chews are available in 300 mg CBD for small breed dogs and 600 mg CBD for larger dogs. With organic CBD and all-natural ingredients, they’re a wonderful CBD supplement for dogs young and old (though we don’t recommend giving CBD to puppies!).
