Support For Your Furry Friend
We know all the great benefits that CBD offers to humans, but what about for our pets? Can CBD provide the same great benefits for dogs and cats? The answer is yes! Just like humans, animals also have an endocannabinoid system (ECS). Because of this, CBD affects the ECS the same way in both humans and non-human animals. Let’s look at why you should consider purchasing CBD products for your furry friend. We’ll focus mostly on dogs and cats but this can be applied to all animals.
Maybe you’ve experienced this first hand with your pets, but many animals suffer from anxiety. Every pet goes through it a different way but a few examples are when your pet gets nervous from thunder, any loud noise makes them whimper or even going to the vet makes them feel on edge. The biggest one pet parents can relate to is separation anxiety. As soon as you walk out the door they begin crying.
The Pandemic Puppy
During the midst of COVID-19, there was a rise in people becoming dog and cat owners. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 23 million pets (dogs and cats) were acquired during the pandemic. Many of us were trapped at home all alone. In desperate need of company, people turned to pets for a companion. These animals, mostly dogs, became known as the “pandemic puppy.”
Although it’s great that these pets found new homes, being home is all these animals ever knew. They didn’t have a chance to socialize with other animals or really experience anything outside of their neighborhood walks. With a lot of places now fully open again, pet owners are trying to get their animals to socialize and experience what they never had.
It can be difficult getting your pet to try and socialize with other dogs or even having them sit calmly at a pet friendly restaurant. Giving your beloved pet a little CBD may help with this problem. We talk a lot about the benefits CBD may provide for humans but these same benefits can be applied to animals.
ReThink’s products are broad spectrum meaning they have zero THC, making them more than safe for your pets to take. Along with helping with anxiety, CBD may also help with inflammation and pain management.
A Variety to Choose From
How do you know what products to give your pet? Luckily, we have a wide variety to choose from. We recommend starting with some dog treats. They also come in bacon and peanut butter flavors. Another option to try out is our CBD oil spray. They come in different strengths and beef, or salmon flavor. This can be sprayed onto their water, food or directly into their mouth.
Size Matters
When it comes to how much CBD to give your pet, you have to be careful. Start low and slow. The dosage between us humans and pets is different. It all depends on your pet’s weight, size and whatever they need some help with. We would recommend a small dosage for smaller animals and a larger dose for bigger breeds. Always consult with your veterinarian first if you are not too sure.
Zero THC, Always
We just want to express that CBD is in fact safe for animals, especially with ReThink’s pet products. With zero THC in our products, you can feel at ease knowing that your pet will not get “high”, or intoxicated. Just a disclaimer, if a product were to have THC or traces of THC this can be very dangerous for an animal. Animals break down this substance differently than humans. If it’s not broken down properly, it can become very serious and you must seek medical care immediately.
We’re always here for guidance and support. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us should you have any questions at all.
