best Article for cbd for dog

1. INTRODUCTION
Pets, especially dogs are considered to be a man’s best friend. Time and again dogs have
proved that, and hence dog is the only animal which is majorly considered when thinking
about having pets at home. Just like human beings, they also require vaccination and
medicines from time to time for prevention and cure of diseases. It might be surprising to
read for many but even they have got mood swings and suffer from depression and other
diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cholesterol etc. Major difficulty is that they cannot
speak, neither can express, just silent sufferers. So we humans have to remain vigilant
about their day to day behaviors and notice the changes if any, and also take immediate
action to treat the same. Veterinary doctors are available everywhere, and so routine
checkup is no difficult task at all. After all they just have some 15-20 years to live. So,
why not give them the best of their time.
CBD and its uses for treating Dogs
There is no strong evidence which can suggest the safe use of CBD in treating dogs and
their ailments. However anecdotal evidence or rather word of mouth from those who have
dogs as pets in their homes suggest its use in relieving certain symptoms. Various research
and studies are going on however to understand its use on pets more deeply and clearly.
Veterinarians still do not prescribe CBD to be used for treating pups, but it might well so
happen that doctors begin prescribing it to be used for dogs, in the near future. Their
dosage and use is still a matter of concern for doctors at large. However some doctors
have reportedly found it useful and suggest that proper use and dosage can actually treat
diseases in them. The trick they say is to find the right product available in the market.
Problem arises only when the product is not the organic extract of CBD and contains
mixtures in them. Side effects as listed below have been found earlier in dogs:-
1. Dry Mouth: - Dry Mouth produces less saliva and leaves your dog being thirsty all
the time. It also affects the digestion process, thereby affecting overall health in
the long run.
2. Lowered Blood Pressure: - Low blood pressure makes your furry friend drowsy and
irritable. However the pressure is not reported to drop to extreme levels. But even
a small amount of fall in blood pressure can make prompt mood changes in your pup.
3. Drowsiness: - CBD has been used by some doctors to treat anxiety in dogs. Dogs
become anxious when things out of their routine take place and not every pup can

2. handle it on their own. They require human help. CBD when used for this purpose
leaves the dog feeling drowsy. And with higher doses, it can make your pup feeling
sleepy all the time.
A question might arise in the reader’s mind that why CBD and its uses, benefits, side
effects are discussed so categorically now a days? The reason is marijuana, which was
banned in most countries earlier, have become legalized and hence researchers
increasingly try to find out the health benefits related to the same. Emphasis now a days
has been more towards using natural products as medicine for curing diseases as well as
preventing the rest. Allopathic treatment is the most prevalent still now. But have a
number of side effects which are a hassle as well. So much is left for exploration in
Ayurveda which we cannot even imagine of.
Prevention is Better than Cure
Don’t we all believe in the above phrase religiously and adhere to it. We as humans have
the responsibility to protect animals that cannot care for themselves. Various NGOs and
social welfare bodies, now a days have come up with the sole aim of protecting animals.
Pets are invariably protected since they become our family member over time. Various
government bodies now a days provide warm clothes to street dogs and cats during
winters. Many are taken to rehab centers for treatment and returned to the locality post
their treatment. Yet many are even admitted to hospitals to provide proper treatment and
nursing.
The research which is going on actively and rigorously for establishing CBD as medicine to
be used in both human and animals, if comes out successfully will bring about a
revolutionary change in the field of organic medicine. There are many states in India which
grows organic foods as per their State Government’s direction, so as to ensure a healthier
and happier nation. Organic food ensures proper nutrients to reach your body and they are
readily accepted by our bodies. While we care for human well being, caring for animals is
also our responsibility. They are part of the eco system, and so their well being is
important too. Dogs however have the natural ability to identify their own medicine. Many
a times you might have noticed dogs smelling and actually eating leaves.
A healthy pet makes your home happy. Who doesn’t like returning home
to a happy pup, which is more than happy to find you back home. All they want is your time
and attention, in exchange of loads of unconditional love and acceptance beyond limits. Is
it not worth to spare your time thinking about the wellbeing and overall health of the

3. creature that makes your life so meaningful and promising? A veterinarian can prescribe
medicines and suggest foods best suited to your pup, but it is you on whom the entire
responsibility of your furries lie.
