Few things are more rewarding than seeing an older pet rediscover their youthful spark. We love hearing stories from our customers about how, after just a couple of drops of Whole Flower Fluid each day, their senior dog who struggled with hip pain is suddenly hopping off the couch again to greet them at the door. I am one of the people who it happened to, early in my CBD journey and it really made me a believer!
These moments are why so many pet owners are turning to CBD as a natural way to support their furry family members through aging, anxiety, and discomfort. If you’re considering CBD for your pets, this guide is here to provide clear, safe, and trustworthy information. The use of CBD for pets is supported by a growing body of evidence, with a 2023 scientific review confirming its potential for managing a variety of conditions in dogs and cats.
How Can CBD Help Your Pet?
Just like humans, our pets have an Endocannabinoid System (ECS) that helps regulate balance in their bodies. CBD works by supporting this system, which can help with a variety of wellness goals:
- Joint & Mobility Support: For older animals struggling with arthritis and hip stiffness, CBD’s ability to reduce inflammation can offer significant comfort, improving their mobility and overall quality of life.
- Promoting Calmness: CBD can be a game-changer for pets with anxiety, whether it’s separation anxiety, stress from car rides, or fear of loud noises like thunder and fireworks.
- General Well-being: By supporting the ECS, CBD can contribute to better sleep and overall balance, helping your pet live a happier, more comfortable life.
Is CBD Safe for Pets? What to Look For
Your pet’s safety is the number one priority. While CBD is generally very safe, there are non-negotiable quality factors to look for:
- It MUST Be Hemp-Derived (Near-Zero THC): Animals are extremely sensitive to THC. Only use products derived from legal hemp that contain less than 0.3% THC. All our products meet this standard.
- Clean, Solventless Extraction: You don’t want any chemical residue in your pet’s product. Our solventless process ensures the final product is as pure and clean as the plant it came from.
- Third-Party Lab Tests: Always demand proof of purity and potency from an independent lab. This is the only way to know for sure what’s in the bottle.
How to Give CBD to Your Pets: Dosing Guidance
Finding the right dose is a simple process, but it requires patience and observation.
- Always Talk to Your Veterinarian First: Before starting any new supplement for your pet, it’s essential to consult with your vet, especially if your pet is on other medications.
- “Start Low and Go Slow”: This is the golden rule. We recommend starting with a very small dose—just one or two drops of Whole Flower Fluid—added to their food or a favorite treat once a day.
- Observe and Adjust: Stick with the starting dose for at least a week and observe your pet’s mobility and mood. If you’re not seeing the desired results, you can slowly increase the dose. Because our Whole Flower Fluid is so potent and bioavailable, most find that a little goes a long way.
Give Them the Gift of Comfort
Seeing your pet thrive is the ultimate goal. For many, a high-quality CBD product can be a powerful tool for supporting their comfort, calm, and happiness for years to come.
