Anxiety is a severe problem for many animals. No matter what’s causing your fur baby’s anxiety — anxiety has negative effects on their quality of life.
As a parent, it can be hard to watch and not know what to do to provide a sense of relief. However, more and more pet owners are starting to recognize the benefits of CBD oil.
Research has shown that CBD oil is beneficial for several health issues, including anxiety, pain, seizures, and neurological disorders. So how exactly can it help your cat or dog at home, and what do you need to know as a parent? This article explores some of the positive effects CBD can have on your anxious animals at home.
To treat your pet’s anxiety, it’s essential first to understand the root of the issue. Anxiety affects cats and dogs in many different ways, and some are more susceptible to it than others.
Common reasons for anxiety may be:
Symptoms of anxiety can include:
Luckily, CBD oil can work on all of these symptoms and give your pets some much-needed relief.
CBD oil (Cannabidiol) is extracted from a cannabis plant. It’s a type of cannabis concentrate with two primary variants: THC and CBD. Both of these variants contain more of a specific type of compound, known as a cannabinoid.
A cannabinoid is a chemical compound that’s found in a cannabis plant. It interacts with receptors in an animal’s endocannabinoid system to naturally soothe and calm anxiety amongst various effects.
The endocannabinoid system is a network of receptors located throughout your pet’s body and is named after the plant that led to its discovery.
One of the primary roles of the endocannabinoid system is to control inflammation by regulating the immune response. An overactive immune response can trigger specific allergies and auto-immune problems, while an underactive response can make the body vulnerable to infections or promote the growth of cancer cells.
Natural endocannabinoid substances are synthesized by the body to maintain a stable internal environment known as homeostasis. If the body’s endocannabinoid production doesn’t have what it needs, CBD oil can help. CBD can also stimulate the body to produce more receptors, making natural cannabinoids that much more effective.
In addition, when your pet’s body releases endocannabinoid chemicals, they stimulate and enhance the body’s natural ability to create serotonin, a natural mood stabilizer.
With a significant amount of data available for animals, veterinarians recommend CBD for a variety of problems. Here’s what the research has shown:
Studies show that CBD oil is beneficial for both acute and chronic issues – not just anxiety. Because CBD oil supports the immune system’s ability to modulate activity, it allows the body to manage cellular degeneration. This helps prevent conditions such as:
At the same time, CBD can help your pet with:
The proper CBD dose will vary from animal to animal and depends on the situation, so it may be necessary to experiment to find the right amount and frequency of dosing.
Typically, the suggested dosage for cats and dogs is 0.1mL for every 10 lbs, 2-3 times daily. However, the exact dosage varies based on your pet’s size, breed, and unique response.
| Pet Weight | Mild symptom | Average Symptom | Chronic Symptom |
| 10 lbs | 1mg | 3mg | 5mg |
| 20 lbs | 2mg | 6mg | 10mg |
| 30 lbs | 3mg | 9mg | 15mg |
| 40 lbs | 4mg | 12mg | 20mg |
| 50 lbs | 5mg | 15mg | 25mg |
| 60 lbs | 6mg | 18mg | 30mg |
| 70 lbs | 7mg | 21mg | 35mg |
| 80 lbs | 8mg | 24mg | 40mg |
| 90 lbs | 9mg | 27mg | 45mg |
| 100 lbs | 10mg | 30mg | 50mg |
When administering CBD to your animals, some may enjoy the taste of it more than others. If your pet isn’t a fan of CBD, you may need to get creative with your method. Here are a few tips:
When it comes to administering CBD to your pet, one of the most important things to remember is to stay calm. Cats, as well as dogs, feed off of your emotions. So if you rush the process or are too aggressive, it may scare them, and they’ll start to associate CBD with fear.
Experiment with methods to see what your pet prefers, and once you do, try to give them their total dosage in that way. After a few days, you’ll start to notice differences in your pet’s energy levels. With consistent use, the full impact of CBD oil will build over time.
And as a parent, it can be hard to watch and not know what to do to provide a sense of relief. However, more and more pet owners are starting to recognize the benefits of CBD oil.
