In this article, we\u2019re going to help you be fully armed with everything you need to know about giving your dog CBD oil, how it will effect them, and anything else you need to know about CBD for your dog.<\/p>\n

CBD Oil for Dogs: Is It Safe?<\/h2>\n

One of the first things that may come to your mind when considering CBD treats<\/a> for your dog is, \u201cAre they safe??\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s be clear about what CBD is.<\/h2>\n

Hemp and marijuana are a type of\u00a0Cannabis Sativa\u00a0plants,\u00a0which contain cannabinoid compounds.<\/p>\n

THC is the cannabinoid compound in marijuana that causes you to feel \u201chigh\u201d. CBD, on the other hand, provides all the wellness benefits of the cannabis plant, without getting you \u201chigh.\u201d CBD is considered<\/a> a dietary supplement by the Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>\n

CBD treats\u00a0are absolutely\u00a0safe\u00a0for your\u00a0dog,\u00a0as they are non-toxic and naturally derived.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How Does CBD Oil Affect Dogs?<\/h2>\n

Cannabis oil can be used to treat seizures, nausea, stress, anxiety,\u00a0arthritis, back pain, symptoms of cancer, and\u00a0gastrointestinal\u00a0issues, among other health conditions in dogs, according to PetMD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While there have been significantly more studies on the CBD benefits in humans, it does<\/em> show promising results for dogs. What scientists DO know is that cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid receptors located in the central and peripheral nervous systems. This helps maintain balance, and aids in keeping their bodies in a normal and healthy state.<\/p>\n

Unlike some traditional\u00a0pain medicine for dogs<\/a>, medical cannabis has no life-threatening side effects, with proper dosage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Possible Side Effects of CBD in Dogs<\/h2>\n

Luckily, studies suggest the associated side effects of CBD oil and CBD dog treats are extremely mild, and are likely not to occur at all.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s important to keep these reported side effects in mind, if any changes occur in your dog\u2019s behavior:<\/p>\n

Dry mouth<\/strong>:\u00a0Research has shown that CBD can decrease the production of saliva. For dogs, this would manifest as an increased thirst.<\/p>\n

Lowered blood pressure<\/strong>:\u00a0High doses of CBD have been known to cause a temporary drop in blood pressure. Even though the drop is small, it might create a brief feeling of light-headedness.<\/p>\n

Drowsiness<\/strong>:\u00a0Dog owners have used CBD to treat anxiety. The calming effect of CBD can also cause slight drowsiness, especially when using higher doses.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do Your Research When Giving Your Dog CBD Oil<\/h2>\n

While CBD is incredibly non-toxic, it\u2019s always a good idea to keep an eye on your pet after introducing something new to their diet.<\/p>\n

Always do your research when trying out a new product, especially if you are buying CBD for your dog<\/a> online. Avoid falling prey to the trendy hype and marketing claims.<\/p>\n

Talk to your vet first.\u00a0CBD can affect the metabolism of many important medications (for pets\u00a0and for humans<\/a>), so it\u2019s crucial to have a chat with your vet to make sure your pet isn\u2019t in harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n

Talk to your vet first.\u00a0CBD can affect the metabolism of many important medications (for pets\u00a0and for humans), so it\u2019s crucial to have a chat with your vet to make sure your pet isn\u2019t in harm\u2019s way.   Disclaimer: I am not a veterinarian. You should check with yours if you have any questions about CBD and your dog. It\u2019s always suggested you check with your vet before starting your dog on a new supplement.
