Introduction – CBD and the Animal World
As studies on CBD and its benefits evolved, it quickly became clear that humans were not the only ones capable of benefiting from the advantages of this cannabinoid . Hence the connection between CBD and the Animal World.
Cannabinoid receptors are responsible for releasing chemicals that keep our body in homeostasis and balance. And since dogs and cats, like us, have an endocannabinoid system, they are also able to enjoy a wide range of mental and physical benefits from CBD , regardless of their breed, age or size.
There are countless health conditions where CBD can act, thus offering your four-legged friend a better quality of life.
Allergic situations
Although there are no concrete studies in this regard, we do know that CBD has been shown to decrease the production and release of inflammatory cytokines that can cause allergies, autoimmunity and hypersensitivity.
In this specific case, the most effective formula will be to adapt the method of application of CBD to the way in which the allergy manifests itself.
Stress and Anxiety Situations
Chronic stress can be a wake-up call for both us and our animals.
Detecting signs such as loss of appetite, aggression or increased sleep can be the first step.
CBD can be a great ally in improving these symptoms, because although the studies carried out were not specifically for dogs and cats, it was possible to conclude that cannabinoids are effective in these situations with our animals.
The study suggests that once we better understand the impact of CBD on depressive symptoms, we will be able to better understand its effect.
Common Pain
CBD applied to animals has already been shown to have a great effect on inflammation in the joints of the back or neck, and this cannabinoid acts naturally, automatically reducing your pet’s pain.
It will only take a few days and low doses for your pet to start feeling better.
Sleep Quality
There are specific cases of animals with sleep disorders and narcolepsy that require specialized treatment, but CBD can help with a general improvement in animals’ rest.
The administration of this cannabinoid will not only considerably improve your pet’s quality of sleep, but will also help with sleep latency during the day.
Seizures and Epilepsy
The use of CBD in epilepsy is already a reality in humans today, such as Epidolex in children (Approved version of CBD).
An important recent discovery by researchers from a College of Veterinary Medicine has shown very positive and encouraging signs with regard to the effectiveness of CBD application in dogs with Idiopathic Epilepsy.
Although this is rare, you should always be aware of some SECONDARY EFFECTS that can arise from taking CBD, such as dizziness and dry mouth. These effects will always be mild and may occur with the administration of higher doses.
Conclusion
Treatments based on CBD and cannabinoids in animals still remain unknown to many people, which of course will always end up raising a number of questions, despite all the evidence being positive so far.
You should understand that each dog or cat will have its own rhythm, just like humans, so the dosage of CBD will always depend on the breed, lifestyle and sensitivity.
Advanced research is still being carried out to fully validate some claims, but you can find many pet owners around the world who are very satisfied with the effects produced between CBD and the Animal World, both in the short and long term.
