Benefits Of Organic CBD Oil For Dogs

By Matthew Pacheco


Whether owning a cat, dog or other pets, there are new products aimed at keeping pets happy and healthy. One such product is that of Organic CBD Oil For Dogs and cats. Generally, the oil is administered orally through edibles or a dropper. Whereas, water soluble oil can also be placed in water bowls or applied to the skin of cats and dogs to aid in eliminating dry skin and other irritations.

As with all pet medications, it is essential to know fact from fiction. One of the best resources from which to obtain this information is the American Kennel Association. As such, the Chief Veterinary Officer at the association has now provided an explanation as to the pros and cons of CBD products for pets.

CBD is a compound found in cannabis and hemp plants. While this is the case, CBD products do not contain THC, though when processed in the same facility as medical marijuana or recreational marijuana, there can often be trace amounts. CBD is derived from hemp, not marijuana so users do not experience the same high as those whom eat edibles, smoke or vape pot, or consume other products containing high levels of THC.

While no studies have been completed to date as to how CBD effects animals, researchers and scientists have now discovered how the product interacts with endo-cannabinoid receptors in the central nervous system. As a result, the product is now being used to balance body, mind and spirit while also working to keep all aspects of the body in good working order.

Even though little to no scientific data has been established with regards to CBD use in animals, pet owners have discovered that the product has the power to calm anxiety, diminish seizures and ease pain in pets. As such, it appears that for all practical purposes the product has the same effect on pets as humans. For, most humans use the product to treat anxiety, calm nerves, reduce seizures and ease pain.

The product also has anti-inflammatory properties, anti-nausea effects, anti-anxiety impact, cardiac benefits and has been proven to kill cancer cells according to both the Harvard and New England Journals of Medicine. At the same time, there has been no conclusive scientific confirmation with regards to this being the case. Still, those whom are, or have been using the product often confirm these aspects to be true.

As a result, there are now a number of ongoing studies into the benefits CBD oil has when it comes to animals and humans. One such study at a university in Colorado is researching how CBD oil effects dogs with epilepsy which have been resistant to other forms of treatment. Whereas, others are focused on confirming the benefits of CBD oil in killing cancer cells in the body, which if is the case could eliminate metastasis in cancer patients.

During these studies, researchers will be looking at positive and negative aspects with regards to the use of CBD oil and other products for these and other conditions. For, just as there has been no official proof of the benefits associated with the product, there has been no proof with regards to any side effects. As such, more research is needed before any of these findings, whether positive or negative can be established as scientific proof.
