Although research on CBD and pets is still limited, some studies have shown that CBD (a beneficial, non-psychoactive substance that comes from the hemp plant) can be helpful to humans as well as their pup and cat counterparts. Below we’ve rounded up some useful information about CBD and pets.
How can CBD benefit your pet?
Just like people, dogs and cats have natural endocannabinoid system that play a big role in regulating mood, appetite, sleep and memory. In summation, the endocannabinoid system is critical in overall wellness. By introducing CBD into your four-legged friend’s body, you can potentially benefit their energy, overall stress and rest patterns.
When approaching the question of how much CBD to administer to your pet: it’s tricky. The best way to approach this is to thoroughly read the product label on the CBD product. Make sure you shop with companies that take animal testing as seriously as they take human testing. The last thing you want is to give your animal something that could be harmful to them—so start low and slow, only administer the recommended serving and closely observe how the product affects your animal’s behavior and demeanor.
It would also be helpful to shop for products that are 100% plant-based and meet the strictest guidelines when it comes to contaminants like pesticides, microbials, solvents and heavy metals. At Social CBD our Pet CBD Drops contain 0.0% THC so you can rest assured your furry friend won’t experience any psychoactive effects. Purchasing an honest product that you feel proud to give your pet will put your mind at ease.

Administering your pet’s daily serving of CBD can easily be done in three easy ways using the dropper provided with the Pet Broad-Spectrum CBD Drops. If you prefer you can dispense the CBD drops over your pet’s food, in their water bowl or directly into their mouth.
Shopping for CBD for pets may be a trial-and-error process while you figure out what works best for you and your friend. In the best-case scenario, you and your little pal will start to enjoy the CBD life together!
