      THE BENEFITS OF USING CBD FOR DOGS - WHAT DOES THE SCIENCE SAY?
      *Disclaimer: This article is not meant to serve as a substitute for veterinary advice. Dr.Hempdog believes firmly in the contents of this article because of the thorough research that backs it up and our own experiences with the thousands of dogs that we have helped through the years (including our own). You should always defer to your veterinarian when adding anything to your dog's unique wellness routine.

       

      If you’ve ever considered using CBD products for your dog, you already know how promising the benefits of CBD can be for your dog. After all, we all want the best for our dogs in need, but what does the science say about using CBD to help with some of the ailments your dog faces? Short answer: CBD can absolutely be a valuable part of your dog’s wellness routine! In the rest of this article, we’ll break down the extensive scientific evidence supporting this.

       

      Current Studies on Using CBD for Different Ailments

       

      Arthritis and Inflammation

      Current findings show that CBD is a powerful anti-inflammatory that can help dogs manage arthritis. Furthermore, other cannabinoids and terpenes have actually been shown to enhance CBD (this synergy is known as the entourage effect):

       

      Pain Management

      As with many cannabinoids, CBD has been extensively studied for its ability to help manage pain*, with promising results thus far:

      *Most people using CBD for effective pain relief realize that it isn’t a substitute for heavy painkillers, especially after invasive surgeries. Consult your veterinarian before altering any pain management routine. 

       

      Ailments in Senior Dogs

      Nearly all senior dogs experience arthritis, mental decline, and other ailments to some extent, which studies have linked to inflammation and a condition known as oxidative stress. 

      Studies show that many terpenes and cannabinoids are powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatories (especially those showcased in our product’s lab results), which therefore could potentially help senior dogs live longer, healthier lives:

       

      Anxiety

      It’s always best to eliminate the source of a dog’s anxiety or fear directly (such as by soundproofing a room against fireworks and thunder). However, if you can’t do so, studies indicate that full-spectrum CBD could be an excellent option for dogs with anxiety:

       

      Seizures

      Many forms of epilepsy and seizures are resistant to traditional medication, yet CBD has demonstrated the ability to overcome these resistances and significantly alleviate seizures according to current findings:

       

      Cancer

      Many cannabinoids and terpenes have shown remarkable promise for treating various forms of cancer, primarily by enhancing cancer medications*, alleviating the side-effects of chemotherapy, and directly combatting cancer growth:

      *Veterinary oversight is essential if you’re considering using CBD alongside other anticancer medications, as research into CBD’s effects on canine cancer is still in its earliest stages.

       

      The Verdict on CBD for Dogs

      As you can clearly see, the science shows direct evidence that CBD is highly effective for the ailments discussed above. Furthermore, studies demonstrate that full-spectrum CBD products are completely safe for dogs:

      We’re eager to see where the science takes us next, but with the evidence we already have, you should feel comfortable using Dr.Hempdog in your dog’s wellness routine if they suffer from one of these ailments.
