How CBD Products Can Help

Relieve Anxiety in Pets

Our pets are our best friends, and when we see them panicking, scared, or stressed out, it can be a very worrying time. Like humans, your dog or cat can become anxious and nervous, particularly following events such as a thunderstorm or firework display or undertaking particular tasks. 

We all want the best for our pets, and helping to reduce this fear and anxiety will allow your pet to relax and boost their happiness. In recent years, the use of CBD products has become one of the fastest-growing trends in health and wellness as research reveals their wide range of benefits. 

CBD products contain almost no THC, which means they have no psychoactive effect on the users. This means that they can be safely used on your pets, giving them the same benefits and helping reduce anxiety. 

What causes anxiety in your pets?

Anxiety and stress can impact your pets in the exact same way that it does humans. No two pets are the same, which means certain situations can affect them differently, but some of the most common causes of anxiety include:

1. Situations 

One of the most common causes of anxiety for pets is the situations they find themselves in. Fireworks are one of the biggest reasons for your pets feeling anxious, with the 4th of July and New Year’s Eve celebrations two of the biggest events of the year. 

Thunderstorms are another major cause of anxiety, with the loud claps of thunder capable of startling and scaring your pets. Many times this can also trigger certain PTSD symptoms within your pet.

2. Traveling 

Another very common cause of anxiety in your pets is traveling with them. No matter whether it is a short car ride or a longer trip on a plane, this can be an incredibly stressful time for your pet. 

3. Company

Leaving your pets on their own for long periods of time, for example, going to work, can leave them feeling very anxious and concerned. Equally, new people can also be a cause of concern for your pet, particularly if they are in your home or around their usual space.

Can CBD help your pet?

CBD is a natural substance from the marijuana plant and has been used for thousands of years for medicinal reasons. One of the most common reasons people use it today is for its calming effect and ability to relieve feelings of anxiety. 

These products interact with the endocannabinoid system in the body. This system is responsible for regulating the stress response, and CBD can help to naturally reduce the fear-based emotions that are typically produced when your pet faces a situation that makes them anxious. 

Of course, CBD products do not just help to reduce anxiety in your pet. They can also help to modulate their immune system, reduce joint pain, and improve their mood.
