Have you considered CBD for your dog? And should you?

CBD has increased in popularity in recent years to help human health.

CBD stands for cannabidiol. Although it's related to cannabis, it comes directly from the hemp plant. Which is a cousin of marijuana. So it's not the same!

And although many CBD products may not be suitable for pets. There are some ranges that your dog can enjoy.

So why should you consider CBD for your dog?

There are several health ailments that you can use CBD for your dog including:

• Epilepsy
• Seizures
• Tumors
• Pain
• Anxiety
• Cancer
• Diabetes

Of course as with any medicine. Complementary or conventional. Only use if your veterinary surgeon permits it. Don't rely on the internet to provide health answers for your dog! Nor rely on friends or family for their recommendations. But many vets are now happy to suggest complementary medicine. And an increasing number are happy to recommend CBD.

What's The Research For CBD and Dogs?

Given its increase in usage. Veterinary research has taken place. Including:

• Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Clinical Efficacy of Cannabidiol Treatment in Osteoarthritic Dogs (Cornell University, 2018) https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2018.00165
• Randomized blinded controlled clinical trial to assess the effect of oral cannabidiol administration in addition to conventional antiepileptic treatment on seizure frequency in dogs with intractable idiopathic epilepsy (J Am Vet Med Association, 2019) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31067185/
• Cannabis in Veterinary Medicine: Cannabinoid Therapies for Animals (Nutraceuticals in Veterinary Medicine (pp.121-155), 2019) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333306722_Cannabis_in_Veterinary_Medicine_Cannabinoid_Therapies_for_Animals

How should you choose a CBD product for your dog?

Your veterinary surgeon may recommend a specific product or brand. Human CBD products are unlikely to be suitable. As they often contain too much THC which is harmful to your dog.

And choose a CBD product that doesn't contain herbicides, pesticides and metals. It can be surprising what is in some products - even for people! And if you're not sure, then don't buy it, and buy another brand you can trust.

There are several producers of CBD products designed specifically for dogs. This includes Kannaway CBD have a range of products for pets. These are specific for pets, including your dog.

Will your dog enjoy Kannaway's CBD products?

Kannaway's range for pets are palatable. But as with any supplement or food, some dogs may be more suspicious than others! As with anything new food-wise. Introduce a small bit at a time.

If you'd like to help your dog with CBD then speak to your vet. And a consultation with a holistic veterinary surgeon maybe useful. There are many across the UK and the world. Many vets are now increasingly aware of the potential benefits of CBD for their canine patients.
