CBD (cannabidiol) has gained significant popularity in recent years for its potential health benefits in humans. But did you know that CBD can also be used for our furry frenz? CBD for pets is a growing trend, as more pet owners seek natural alternatives to promote their pets' well-being. Considering that Zen Frenz has been around since 2018, we’ve received a lot of questions regarding CBD in pets. In this blog post, we’d like to answer some of the most commonly asked questions.
- What is CBD, and is it safe for pets?
CBD is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant. It interacts with the endocannabinoid system in both humans and animals, potentially providing various therapeutic effects. When it comes to safety, CBD is generally considered safe for pets when administered correctly. However, it is crucial to use CBD products specifically formulated for pets and use the dosage stated on the packaging.
- What benefits can CBD provide to pets?
CBD has been reported to offer several potential benefits for pets, including relief from anxiety, bad skin, and inflammation. It may also promote relaxation, improve appetite, and support overall well-being. However, it's important to note that CBD is not a magical cure-all, and results may vary depending on the individual pet.
- I am not comfortable using CBD, are there other alternatives?
We completely understand! Luckily we do have hemp based chews and drops that are hemp-based and produce similar effects.
- Will CBD make my pet high?
No, CBD does not produce a psychoactive effect or "high" in pets. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), another compound found in cannabis, is responsible for the psychoactive effects. Our CBD products are THC-free, ensuring your pet's safety and well-being.
- When would I be using these products?
As much as we love our furry frenz, they can sometimes be tough to deal with, especially when traveling with or without them or when they’re being loud. With our CBD products, this will help to keep them calm. For example, with our peanut butter and lick mat combo, you leave your pet alone and they will be relaxed and won’t accidentally break something as a result of their separation anxiety.
- Can all pets benefit from CBD?
CBD has been used with various types of pets, including dogs, cats, and even small mammals like rabbits and guinea pigs. However, every animal is unique, and individual responses may vary. It's important to consider your pet's specific needs, health conditions, and consult with a veterinarian before introducing CBD into their routine.
CBD for pets is an exciting area of natural pet care that has recently gained a lot of attention for its potential therapeutic benefits. While it's important to do thorough research and consult with your veterinarian, CBD can be a viable option for promoting your pet's overall well-being. However, we hope to have provided you with valuable insights to make an informed decision and give your beloved companion the best possible care.
