CBD for Pets: Benefits and Top Products at NatureMed
CBD for pets is soaring in popularity, especially for easing anxiety, joint pain, and seasonal stress in both cats and dogs. Here’s a trusted guide to help pet owners decide if CBD is right for their furry companions, backed by research and helpful resources!
CBD Benefits for Cats and Dogs
CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural hemp compound offering comfort for pets dealing with stress, arthritis, or situational anxiety such as fireworks or travel. In studies, over 80% of dogs with osteoarthritis experienced less pain using CBD, and many pet owners report calmer behavior during thunderstorms and new experiences.
How Does CBD Work for Pets?
Just like humans, cats and dogs have endocannabinoid systems that respond to CBD to support joint comfort, healthy inflammation, and emotional wellbeing. CBD doesn’t cause a “high” and is safe when dosed for pets using dedicated products.
CBD is available as oils, chews, treats, and topicals, making it easy to match your pet’s needs and preferences. Common benefits: regular stress reduction, easing arthritis, skin support, and promoting restful sleep.
