Did you know? Humans aren’t the only creatures that enjoy or can benefit from the cannabis plant. Animals, including your furry best friends, can experience better health when their diets are supplemented with a component called CBD. Keep reading to learn more about CBD and how to make CBD-infused treats for your dog. 

What is CBD?

To start, what is CBD? Cannabidiol (CBD) is a component of the Cannabis sativa plant. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), it does not produce psychedelic effects. This is why kids and animals alike can ingest it and/or use it topically.

So far, over100 peer-reviewed studies prove CBD to be beneficial for a variety of ailments. They include asthma, cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, dementia, skin conditions, and more. CBD also helps to alleviate nausea, anxiety, and depression. This is because it supports the body’s transition from a sympathetic state (“flight or fight” mode) into a parasympathetic (rested, calm) state.

How CBD Helps Dogs

Dogs are prime candidates for CBD therapy. This is because your canine friend can develop anxiety when you are away at work and they are left in an enclosed territory. He/she is also more sensitive to sounds, sights, and smells, so CBD can help to calm their nervous system. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that they might be overloaded by the fast-paced, man-ruled world.

Dogs, like humans, are developing diseases of affluence at an increasing pace, just like their humans. And, it makes sense… Most humans give their furry friends leftover scraps of food high in preservatives made from low-quality, filer ingredients. Fortunately, CBD can help.

A Healthy Diet Supplemented with CBD

If you seek to help your dog thrive, switch them to a healthy, organic diet and consider adding CBD to their regime. In order to accomplish the latter, consider making these CBD-infused dog treats. They’re vegetarian and are tasty enough you might even snack on one — or two.
