CBD for Pets: Promising Results and Potential Benefits
CBD Shows Promise in Treating Ailments in Pets, Research Shows
In recent years, CBD has gained popularity as a potential treatment for various ailments in pets, with numerous success stories emerging. From a 13-year-old Norwich terrier experiencing relief from limping and stiffness to a toy poodle finding relief from seizures, CBD has shown promise in improving the quality of life for furry companions.
According to Chie Mogi, lead veterinarian of the Animal CBD Research Society in Japan, CBD has been effective in treating issues such as pain, itching, and seizures in pets. Research studies and clinical trials have also supported these claims, with positive results seen in cases where conventional treatments had failed.
Veterinary neurologist Stephanie McGrath of Colorado State University coauthored a review of CBD for dogs and cats, highlighting the potential benefits of CBD in treating various conditions. Despite initial skepticism, the results of rigorous trials with placebos have shown promising outcomes, giving hope to pet owners and researchers alike.
The CBD boom in the pet industry follows relaxed cannabis regulations, allowing for the production and sale of hemp-based products containing CBD. With the global market expected to reach $3.05 billion by 2025, more pet owners are turning to CBD as a natural alternative for their furry friends.
While the evidence for CBD’s effectiveness is still mixed, many pet owners have reported positive results in treating issues such as pain, anxiety, and seizures in their pets. However, the lack of regulation in the pet cannabis industry has raised concerns about product quality and consistency.
Despite the challenges, pet owners like Kris Paige have seen firsthand the benefits of CBD in improving their pets’ quality of life. While more research is needed to fully understand the effects of CBD on pets, the growing body of evidence suggests that CBD could be a valuable addition to the therapeutic options available for furry patients.
