Why CBD Oil for Pets is a Real Breakthrough

The world of cannabis and hemp is only now being opened up and much of the mystery surrounding the plants understood. As a result, they are now being appreciated for their benefits. Cannabis and the 100+ compounds it contains have rapidly gained status for their beneficial effects on humans, but its use for pets has been slower to get established. However, the common ground between humans and pets is increasingly understood and we at HempLucid, determined as ever to spread the good fortune, are pleased to be able to offer batch pet CBD oil tincture so you can keep some in stock to be able to treat your pet as and when it becomes necessary. Since CBD oil for pets is relatively little-known, but it is much the same story as for humans, let’s say here and now that CBD can have great benefits for pets too, and having established that, we will look at the subject in general.

In this evolving landscape, HempLucid has been making strides in the pet wellness sector by incorporating CBD into its range of products, reflecting a growing recognition of the benefits of cannabinoids for pets.

Understanding CBD and Cannabis as a Whole

The first hurdle the cannabis plant had to jump was the plain fact that it was illegal. For centuries – even millennia – in earlier civilizations, cannabis had been used for ceremonial and spiritual purposes, while the more sophisticated societies such as in the developed nations wanted nothing to do with it.

 Having come to public attention as an intoxicant in the hippie era of the 1960s and 1970s, it had an image to shake off. Fortunately, scientists and medical researchers are not an isolated species; they are perfectly aware of what is going on in the world and so, when word began to spread of the medical possibilities of cannabinoids (compounds found in cannabis), research was begun, and an open-minded outlook began to develop.

The first myth that had to be laid was that the cannabis plant inevitably had the effect of making the user unable to function in a clear-headed, responsible manner. That, they discovered, was the THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) at work. However, there were other, less spectacular but highly effective compounds such as the one called CBD (cannabidiol) that could be harnessed for good, serious purposes. CBD oil is increasingly being utilized to manage various health issues in dogs, including anxiety and joint pain, offering a natural alternative to traditional treatments. That is what CBD oil for pets is all about: using the beneficial effects of CBD.

What is the Difference Between Cannabis, Hemp and Marijuana?

Here’s an important question when it comes to taking this whole area seriously, the field of medical cannabis. Cannabis sativa is the name of a plant family of which hemp and marijuana are part. Of the three, hemp has the most physical attributes that are used for practical purposes. You may have heard of hemp being used for making rope or being combined with other fibers to make fabrics, while its oil can be beneficial to the skin. You don’t hear those connections with the other two, and the fact is that they are better known for their psychotropic abilities: their tendency to make people who smoke or ingest them become “high”. Hemp has a relatively low content of THC, the psychotropic element, so you could say it was the sensible older brother of the trio.

Marijuana, on the other hand, is the variant that was enthusiastically adopted by the counterculture generation that lived by the motto, “turn on, tune in, drop out”. Nobody was making string or hand cream out of marijuana; they were smoking it or baking it in cakes and cookies with the sole aim of getting “out of their head”.

Things have changed a lot over the decades and now cannabis is a reformed character.

What CBD can do for Your Pet

Just as word is rapidly getting around that CBD can help humans in areas such as stress, anxiety and facets of relaxation that can affect sleep, so the world is hearing it can help pets too. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help with hypersensitivity and dermatitis, along with pain. It can reduce seizures and support the nervous system, as well as the immune system, which has knock-on effects as regards certain dreaded ailments including autoimmune disease and cancer. It can help with the digestive system and the cardiovascular system.

Getting back to the broad area of anxiety and what might be described as your pet’s inner peace, of course, your four-legged friend can’t articulate what is wrong with them. As owners or what are now being called pet parents, we notice changes in their behavior and have to do our best, firstly to understand what is happening and then to work out what we can do to help.

When we take ourselves off to the doctor, they will ask a few simple questions and make a diagnosis based on our answers, and perhaps even on how we answer, rather than the words we actually say. A pet can’t do this, so the veterinarian will be asking us, the human partner, to describe as best we can what we have observed, and it can be very much a matter of trial and error.

Our organic full spectrum CBD tincture needs a little explaining. Full spectrum is an important term here because without it we wouldn’t be producing an organic product. The harsher the separation process to eradicate other compounds, the less natural the end result. To be organic it has to be full spectrum.

What full spectrum also tells you is that the tincture can contain traces of other compounds including THC. It must be stressed, though, that this is a very small amount, and if the drops are administered properly in the prescribed dosage your pet will not suffer psychotropic effects. What may happen is that the pain-relieving effect of THC will come through, as that is effective even in very small doses.

We take pet welfare extremely seriously and we expect our customers to do the same. The purpose of our CBD drops for pets is to bring a sense of calm and keep them at peace with the world. This involves neither artificial stimulation nor sedation. It merely keeps the animal’s brain on an even keel and reduces bad behavior. You know yourself when they are behaving out of character, contrary to their nature.

It might be separation anxiety, which is really an expression of love and affection tinged with anxiety, but those who don’t understand pets – particularly yours – may not see the charming side of this. If CBD drops can help your pride and joy to be a credit to you even when you’re not there, what a lovely thing that is for you and for whoever is in the vicinity during your absence.

How Will Your Veterinarian Feel About CBD?

This is impossible to say in advance. One factor will be the state where you live, and they have their practice. While CBD and other hemp derivates are federally legal, each state will have its own views and legislation, possibly with restrictions in place. Some, for instance, permit veterinarians to discuss the use of CBD but not to recommend it.

Having established that background, we come to the practitioners themselves. Just as with your own doctor, the vet will have personal beliefs and preferences that may not align with yours. It is important, then, to play this by ear, and if you have already pretty much decided that CBD is the path you want to take, be prepared to face a little opposition.

We all need to work in harmony with our vet, so listen to what they have to say. They might be a highly experienced operator with an outstanding track record but a natural reluctance to embrace new ideas. You might be something of a pioneer, presenting them with an idea they have never paid much attention to in the past.

On the other hand, yours might be an enlightened state and a forward-thinking veterinarian who agrees that CBD would be well worth a try. Even if they are unconvinced but willing to accept that if it can’t do any harm and it just might do some good, that’s a reasonable basis on which to proceed. At least you can work together with the mutual goal of restoring the health and happiness of your pet.

In this way you could be working for the benefit of medical science, helping a professional to understand and therefore be able to promote in the future something that they have missed thus far.

How to Give CBD Drops to Your Pet

Our organic pet CBD full spectrum comes in a tasty chicken flavor, so you’re off to a head start there in terms of the pet positively wanting to consume it. The most efficient way to administer it is via the dropper directly into the animal’s mouth, but it is even more effective if dropped under the tongue on one side of the mouth, for rapid absorption into the mucous membrane, rather than on top of the tongue. The principle here is probably familiar to any pet owner trying to get them to take something they are not accustomed to. You don’t want your pet trying to spit this out – and if they do, you don’t want them to succeed.

Placing the CBD drops exactly where you want them is much more efficient than putting them in food. Again, let’s imagine the pet doesn’t want to take this unusual stuff, and they are perfectly capable of leaving the parts of the food where they detect it and eating the rest. Your pet trusts you, so with a little practice you can build up the skill of administering the drops and the confidence to get it done quickly and without incident.

HempLucid CBD Oil for Pets: How It Works

CBD is a cannabinoid, a natural compound found in cannabis and hemp plants. But unlike THC—the cannabinoid most responsible for the cannabis plant’s intoxicating “high”—CBD imparts at most a gentle, energizing “buzz,” making it a perfect solution for pets who need a little support.

This includes some truly exciting benefits, including helping pets manage stress and reduce the discomfort of minor aches and strains. Like THC and Delta 8 THC, CBD interfaces with our bodies through a regulatory network called the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which helps control such functions as sleep, memory, immune health, and more. You can learn more about how it works in Dogster's review of our CBD Oil for pets.

How to Use HempLucid CBD Pet Products

One of the most common questions we get from pet owners is around dosages. While CBD is well-tolerated by the vast majority of people and pets, side effects such as diarrhea, reduced appetite, drowsiness, and fatigue are possible. Especially when first using CBD pet products, keep a close eye on your pet to see how they are adjusting to the dosage. Also consult with your vet if your pet is currently taking any prescription medications, as CBD may interact with them.

In terms of dosage, while every pet is different we can offer some rough guidelines. If you sense your pet isn’t getting enough support, you can gradually up the dosage. Conversely if the initial amount seems to be working, you can try lowering the dosage bit by bit until you’ve determined the minimum effective dose.

• For pets 5 - 15 lb: 2.5 - 15mg CBD, or .5 - 1 dropper
• For pets 15 - 75 lb: 7.5 - 75mg CBD, or 1 - 2 droppers
• For pets 75 lb and above: 75mg+ CBD, or 2 - 3 droppers

Try adding the CBD oil to your pet’s food, or dispense it directly into their mouths (it’s available in pet-approved and all-natural chicken and fish flavors).
