CBD for Your Furry Friends
You may already know some of the health benefits associated with hemp and CBD, one of the naturally-occurring compounds found in it-- maybe you’ve even tried out some CBD oil to treat issues like anxiety, chronic pain, or insomnia. But did you know those same benefits of CBD can be applied to animals as well as humans? Here are just a few of the ways your pet could benefit from CBD products like the ones we’ve developed at Barker Wellness:
Treat Anxiety
Us humans aren’t the only ones who get nervous! Anxiety is extremely common in many household pets, especially dogs. In fact, one study found that more than 70% of dogs may experience anxiety. If your pooch commonly experiences separation anxiety, shakes during storms, barks excessively, or just seems to have a generally difficult time relaxing, pet-friendly CBD products can be a great way to help them remain calm. CBD has been shown to treat anxiety in humans thanks to the way it interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system and changes how the brain’s receptors respond to serotonin-- and the same goes for animals!
Relieve Pain
If you have an ageing or disabled pet, you know how difficult it can be to watch your furry friend suffer through pain caused by injuries and chronic issues like arthritis. And while prescription medications can be effective, they often come with many risks, worrying side effects, and even the potential for a lethal overdose. If you’re looking for a safe, all-natural way to treat your pet’s pain, CBD may be your answer. Studies show that its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties make it a possibly highly effective option for chronic pain management in both humans and animals. With our pet-friendly CBD products, you can help your pet find relief and get their tail wagging again.
And More!
It doesn’t stop there. Hemp offers tons of uses and benefits for both humans and pets, including its abilities to improve appetite, promote better sleep, and reduce nausea. It’s an all-around great remedy for a number of issues; the possibilities are practically endless.
