CBD. You see it everywhere now. It’s on billboards, your newsfeed, your social media timeline, heck, even grandma and grandpa are asking about how they can get their hands on some. But the recent spike in interest into the CBD cannabinoid has been from pet owners seeking to know if they should be giving the same CBD that’s helping grandma with her joint pain or their own anxiety to their pet for the same issues.
You can buy dog treats containing CBD, but the best form to administer is an oil or tincture. This way, you can adjust your dog’s dose drop by drop.
The American Kennel Club (AKC)
The AKC has several guides to purchasing CBD for your dog which can be helpful when searching for the right CBD tincture for your pup.
- Don’t price shop. The higher the quality and purity, the higher the cost. You don’t want to go for a cheaper option that could have toxic substances such as pesticides, herbicides, or heavy metals. Make sure your CBD oil is free of additives.
- Get the analysis. The manufacturer should provide a certificate that tells you the amount of CBD that is in the product. Many CBD products contain only small amounts of CBD. You’ll also want to make sure there is little or no THC in the product.
