6 choses à savoir sur l'huile de CBD pour animaux de compagnie !

1. It is safe to use CBD oil for your pets!

The effects of CBD come from its ability to stimulate the système endocannabinoïde. ECS is involved in the regulation of several bodily functions. This organic system is found in every mammal on earth, meaning that many animals also have it. The ECS is something that we share with our pets. Differences are minute enough, that the effects of CBD on a human and the effects on an animal are extremely similar.

There is a general fear for pet safety when being given CBD. Normally associated with the fact that many people, do not understand the key differences between CBD and THC. It is very easy to mix up the two, as they come from the same group of plants. At first glance, it would appear as though CBD could have psychoactive effects on your pet, similar to THC.

However, this is not the case in reality. The main difference between CBD and THC is that CBD does not have any intoxicating attributes. The feeling that THC gives us that we call a “high”, is our body reacting to the psychoactive properties of the compound. When ingested by pets, these effects can be dangerous or l'anxiété-inducing. We cannot stress enough: CBD lacks these psychoactive properties, and our pet tinctures are lab tested to ensure less than 0.2% THC is included in the final product.

Perfectly safe to use CBD oil for your pet!

2. Not all CBDs oil are equal!

You really need to be aware when buying Le CBD pour les animaux de compagnie. Know that there is a huge discrepancy between manufacturer. CBD is so new to the market. Many companies out there are taking advantage of the loose regulations, surrounding the nature of the industry.

In other words, they are effectively marketing “chanvre treats” or “CBD pour les chiens” that contains virtually no CBD whatsoever.

They are getting away with this, by using chanvre seed extract, rather than actual CBD extract. CBD extract is taken from the leaves and flowers of industrial hemp plants. While hemp seeds contain beneficial plant protein and are highly nutritious in their own right, they don't actually contain any of the CBD compound that is believed to interact with the Système endocannabinoïde.

Make sure you get your CBD oil from a trusted supplier which has a third party test de laboratoire to show.

3. No CBD oil exclusive to species!

The fact that all mammals have an ECS confirms that the CBD oil you use for your pet, does not have to be specifically made for dogs, cats or horses. It is merely the dosage and the individual pet that counts. You can even use human CBD oil if you don't have anything else available. Some companies don't filter their Huile de CBD pour animaux de compagnie as much as for humans, and that can be the only difference. If you purchase a “homemade” CBD oil, we do not recommend giving it to your pet. The reason for this is the THC contents is not controlled properly. Homemade CBD oil which are not CO2 extracted can contain higher amounts of THC than the legal 0.2% and THC in larger amounts can be toxic for pets.

The only thing you have to be aware of when buying CBD oil for your pet – is the THC contents.

4. Dosage for your pet!

There is no clear-cut single number that will tell you Quelle quantité de CBD ? you should be giving your pets.  Individual products will provide you with recommended serving sizes and instructions on how to administer their respective oils and treats. A general rule is:

Typical suggested starting dose: 1 mg – 5 mg CBD per 5 kg (10 lbs) of bodyweight.

Start with a dose on the low end of the range. Changes can occur within 30 min. If there is no change after a day, increase the dosage. Occasionally, improvements will take more than one treatment. To control douleur, give approximately every 8 hours. For other uses, or to break unwanted behaviour patterns, give once or twice a day.

Remember that there is no toxicity associated with CBD oil for pets.

5. Correct CBD oil administration for your pet!

There are several ways to give your pet Huile de CBD.

• Rub oil on their gums
• Drops on their paws and they will lick them off
• Drops on one of their favourite treats
• Sprinkle Poudre de CBD onto their food
• Some pets like the CBD and comes running when you get the bottle out
• Rub some oil on their ears

Choose the best way for YOUR pet – don't give up, it is for their own benefit!

6. CBD oil for Pets overdose!

So what happens when you administer pets too many drops, or they get hold of the whole bottle/pack?

It's important to differentiate CBD oil from cannabis oil, since le cannabis oil contains high levels of THC and can cause serious clinical signs. Most Friandises au CBD are labelled to contain a specific amount of CBD (often 2.5 or 5 mg/treat) and may claim to contain none or very minimal THC. However, if CBD is present in the treats, there is likely to be some THC in the products.

Most Commonly Reported Signs:

• Léthargie
• Ataxia (loss of bodily movement)
• Urinary incontinence
• Vomissements
• Hyperaesthesia (excessive sensitivity)

Treatment in affected pets is largely symptomatic and supportive. Mild cases may be managed at home; more significantly affected pets may benefit from IV fluids and good soins infirmiers care.
