Top 5 Reasons To Give Your Dog CBD Oil

Are you considering adding CBD oil to your dog’s wellness routine? CBD oil, or cannabidiol oil, is a natural supplement that could have a wide range of potential health benefits for your dog.

In this post, we’ll delve into the top five reasons to give your dog CBD oil and explain why it may be a good choice for your furry friend. As with any new supplement, we recommend consulting with a veterinarian before introducing CBD to your dog’s diet.

1) Relieve discomfort and improve mobility

Some research suggests that CBD can help relieve discomfort by interacting with the endocannabinoid system, a complex network of receptors found throughout the body that plays a role in a wide range of biological processes like inflammation.

As dogs become older, osteoarthritis and other age related illnesses become more common, especially for large dog breeds. Some pet owners provide their pets with CBD supplements to help reduce discomfort in stiff joints and improve mobility.

2) Promote brain health

In 2020, The FDA approved a CBD-derived treatment called Epiodelex, which reduces seizures for people suffering from rare forms of epilepsy. Another study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association found evidence that suggests CBD could be helpful in reducing the frequency of seizures in dogs suffering with epilepsy. More research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms by which CBD could be effective in reducing seizure activity, but early results do indicate some benefits to brain health.

3) Reduce Skin Irritation

Itching is a common issue for most dogs, and can be caused by many things from allergies to dermatitis. Due to its interactions with the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in inflammation, CBD may reduce skin irritation for some animals.

4) Promote calmness

Dogs often experience discomfort when they’re exposed to loud noises – often resulting in unusual panting or restlessness. Some pet owners have reported a calming or mellowing effect after administering CBD to their furry friend.

Additionally, one recent study discovered that shelter dogs treated with CBD showed reduced aggressive behavior towards humans following the treatment, compared to a placebo group. However, the sample size was too small to draw statistically significant conclusions.

5) A natural alternative to promoting health

Since hemp was removed from the controlled substances list in 2018, there has been a lot of excitement about its implications as a natural alternative for improving health and wellness. But the quality of CBD matters, and since the FDA doesn’t regulate CBD you need to watch out for products promising more than they can actually deliver.
