Cannabinoids for Your Furry Friend
Hey there, fellow dog parents! Have you heard about the buzz surrounding cannabinoids, like Cannabidiol (CBD), for our four-legged pals? It's been getting a lot of attention lately, and for good reason!
Personally caring for four rescues, including Freya, who has battled two types of cancer, I understand the importance of their well-being.
Understanding Cannabinoids: Let's Break it Down
So, what exactly are cannabinoids? Well, they're natural compounds found in plants, with CBD being a popular one for pets. Think of them as little helpers that interact with your dog's body to keep things running smoothly and in balance.
Getting to Know CBD: More than Just a Trend
When we talk about using cannabis for our furry friends, it's important to understand that cannabinoids, like CBD, come from plants and can offer a wide range of health benefits. And don't worry, CBD won't get your pup high like THC does!
But here's the cool part: CBD can still provide all the good stuff without any of the psychoactive effects. This is done with a quality full-spectrum oil. So, you can rest easy knowing that your furry friend will stay their happy, waggy-tailed self.
Now let's dig into the science behind it. CBD, found in the cannabis sativa plant, has anti-inflammatory properties that engage with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in pets' endocannabinoid system (ECS).
Exploring the Interaction: How CBD Works for Your Dog
CBD works its magic by interacting with something called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) in your dog's body. It's like a team of superheroes working together to keep everything in balance, from appetite to mood.
In the human world, we call this living in homeostasis.
Unlocking the Receptors: Meet CB1 and CB2
Okay, let's get a bit technical here. There are these things called cannabinoid receptors, specifically CB1 and CB2, which play important roles in how CBD affects your dog. They're like the locks that CBD fits into to make things happen.
CB1 Receptors: Keeping Things Balanced in the Brain
CB1 receptors are mainly found in the central nervous system and brain. They help regulate things like mood, appetite, and memory. When CBD binds to these receptors, it can help your pup feel more relaxed and calm.
CB2 Receptors: Supporting the Body's Defenses
On the other hand, CB2 receptors are scattered throughout the body, especially in areas related to inflammation and immune response. When CBD interacts with CB2 receptors, it can help reduce inflammation and support your pup's overall wellness.
Your dog's body also produces its own cannabinoids, like Anandamide and 2-AG. These guys help regulate things like mood and brain activity, and CBD can work alongside them to keep everything in check.
How CBD Benefits Your Pup: Promoting Calmness and Comfort
Now, let's talk about the good stuff! This is perhaps the question I am asked about most often. CBD can help your furry friend feel more relaxed and comfortable, especially if they're dealing with things like stress or joint issues. This is done by balancing out the receptors mentioned above. It's like giving them a little hug from the inside out.
The best way to get the most out of CBD for behavior support is through daily use, and finding the right dose.
Behavior Support Solutions through CBD
For centuries cannabis has been utilized as a botanical remedy for both humans and pets. Extracts from this plant offer a safe and well-tolerated supplement for addressing many common health issues in pets.
Clinical studies involving dogs and cats have demonstrated the beneficial effects of gradually increasing cannabinoid dosages in various forms, affirming the safety and effectiveness of cannabis for pets. The therapeutic potential of cannabis is found in whole plant extracts.
When it comes to administering full-spectrum cannabis extracts, dosage is not a "one size fits all" method, emphasizing the importance of starting with a low dosage and adjusting gradually based on individual needs.
Why Opt for Higher Milligrams for Your Dog?
When I started Pawzitive, it was with the main goal to provide a higher milligram CBD oil. This was due to not only having four dogs, but my dog did not have luck at a lower milligram dose. This made a 500mg or 1000mg bottle a very expensive option.
Let's take a look at the advantages of Pawzitive's 4000mg canine tincture, crafted with the understanding that standard doses may not always suffice for some pups.
"When I was figuring out the right dosage for my own dogs, I went through bottle after bottle and felt like nothing was working. After investing a lot of time and money, I realized that my dogs needed more than the 5-10mg recommended on these bottles. It wasn't until I tried a 500mg or even a 1500mg bottle that I found the correct dose. That's when I embarked on my journey to find a top-quality, high-milligram oil."
Going Beyond the Norm: High Milligrams, Unrivaled Results
Our full-spectrum CBD line stands out in the market for featuring one of the highest milligram tinctures available for dogs. The 4000mg option isn't just a product; it's a commitment to delivering pet owners a quality product that is not only effective but more affordable.
Please be aware that Pawzitive does not suggest using cannabinoids for puppies. Young pets are in the process of developing their cannabinoid system, and there is limited research supporting the benefits of supplementing young animals with CBD. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian or behaviorist before making the addition of CBD to your puppy's diet.
The Pawzitive Difference: Tested, Trusted, and Tailored
I personally use these products for my dogs, one of whom has lived with two types of cancer, heart disease, and chronic pancreatitis for the last four years. This personal commitment reflects our trust and confidence in the effectiveness and quality of Pawzitive CBD products.
