How to Choose the Right CBD Products for Your Pet
Have you considered giving your pet some CBD? Well, if you haven’t, you’re not missing out on much, but your pet certainly is.
CBD products designed with pets in mind can benefit them in a variety of ways, in ways that traditional medicine cannot even compare.
In this article, we will cover how you can choose the right product for your pet. So keep reading to learn more.
Three Considerations And You're Set
When it comes to choosing a high-quality safe CBD product, you need to only ascertain yourself with three considerations. Without considering even one of these questions, you’re jeopardizing the safety of your pet, and potency of the product.
So here are the considerations you should keep in mind when choosing your CBD products.
Has the Product Been Third-Party Lab Tested?
First and foremost, just because a website or label states it has great results, does not constitute that these results are without bias, accurate, or verifiable.
The most reliable statistics for how well a product can assist your dog comes from independent third-party analysis labs. Ensure that the product you’re looking to buy has at least one or more third-party lab tests.
Also, ask the manufacturer for a CoA (Certificate of Analysis). If they don’t have one, you might as well look elsewhere.
Do Vets Recommend These CBD Products?
Veterinarians want to treat your pet as a whole unit. Not telling them about the products you buy and involve in your pet’s care can jeopardize their health.
In some cases, CBD products can be bought from your vet, meaning they have gone through rigorous safety and quality scrutiny within their community.
Are the products you’re looking to buy the same as your vets, recommended by or used by them for their own pets? It’s always recommended that you check in with your vet before giving your pet CBD.
Does the company you’re buying from look at providing support to vets as well as yourself, the owner?
Is the CBD Sourced From the USA?
In addition to figuring out whether or not a CBD product can help your pet, the product should be sourced from the United States. China produces one third of the world’s hemp and hemp is widely known as a phytoremediator. This means that the roots of the hemp plant absorb contaminants and toxins from the soil and the ground water. Given China’s historical lack of environmental regulation, there could be a wide array of harmful toxins or heavy metals that ultimately end up in any CBD oil extracted from the plants.
What Is the Entourage Effect?
Have you heard of the term “Entourage Effect”? Well, it refers to the existing belief that the real benefits of therapeutic effects from cannabis are only enabled when all of the naturally-occurring components are working in synergy with each other.
Meaning they optimize each other’s performance, and create a great product for the best experience. Broad-spectrum and isolated CBD products do not possess this effect.
This is due to the excessive processing that has removed the entirety of the THC content from them. This processing strips the natural balance of compounds from the source plant. However, this does not mean that the product is not effective, it just means that they do not possess the full entourage effect.
Reputable providers of full-spectrum CBD oil ensure careful consideration when growing, harvesting, and extraction processes to guarantee the natural balance. And this can be verified by the third-party lab results for the final product, which should show a verbose terpene and cannabinoid profile that exemplifies this entourage effect in full force.
How Much CBD to Give My Pet?
If you’ve already browsed the web and tried to determine the correct CBD dosage for your dog or cat, you have most likely come across a variety of information with different calculations and numeric variations.
Some companies will instruct that you provide an entire dropper a day, while others will tell you to dose your pet every 8 hours without any instruction for quantity.
Well, the fact of the matter is that there is no FDA approved standard by which pets must be dosed. In December of 2018, the farm bill legalized the hemp-based CBD oil in all of the states. And unfortunately, before this time, hemp and cannabis were demonized, which lead to a lack of studies for the therapeutic benefits of full-spectrum CBD.
Until the FDA beings trials and extends research on CBD, the best thing to do is to listen to veterinarian specialists, alongside our best judgment. Consistency and safety are of the utmost importance when it comes to our products at Mile High Pawducts, which is why our tinctures come with graduated droppers.
You will find that they are marked by Milliliters (ML), and not Milligram (MG). Because of this, a single dropper from the 125 MG Full Spectrum CBD Oil has less CBD than one dropper from the 250 MG or 500 MG full Spectrum Oil.
For an appropriate dosage with our product, use our online calculator to ensure the correct quantities for your pet.
