The benefits of CBD for pets

Our pets are true members of the family. Their loyalty, love and adorable faces bring so much joy to the entire household. Many of us would do anything to help our pets live happy, active lives. That's why millions of people are turning to CBD oil for their pets' mental health. What are the benefits of CBD for our furry friends?

 

Soothes the stress of separation

We are the world to our pets. As sweet as it sounds, this responsibility is a lot of pressure for the pet owner.

Many pets experience separation stress when their owners leave home. Pet owners never know if they will come home to find ravaged garbage cans or torn couch cushions.

Animals don't understand that we have a job or a social life because we are their job and their social life.

They feel lonely and lack mental stimulation when we are not around. As a result, they will scream, scratch and gnaw on their frustrations.

Our absence disrupts the balance (homeostasis) of our animals' lives. Whenever homeostasis is out of balance, it triggers cannabinoid receptors in the cells.

Cannabinoid receptors tell the brain that things are not "normal. In turn, your pet may exhibit stressed behavior until homeostasis is restored. Usually, this is when the pet owner comes home.

The phytocannabinoids in CBD oil relax these excited receptors. Give your pet some chews about half an hour before you leave. He will develop a calmer state of mind that should last until you return home.

 

Maintains bone and joint health

No one likes to see their pet grow old. Your pets don't like to see themselves grow old either.

Mental health problems in animals are becoming more common as they age. They may be frustrated by the physical limitations that affect their bodies.

Animals do not express discomfort in the same way as humans. Therefore, we have no idea how long they have been experiencing stiffness in their joints or bones.

Since they cannot communicate their discomfort or feelings, the animals' behavior will change to reflect their dark mood. Pay attention to the lethargy displayed. Notice if food or toys begin to lose their attention.

CBD oil can help improve their disposition. It can also support some of the underlying reasons that might influence your pets' behavior.

The cells near their joints and bones also have cannabinoid receptors. When your pet experiences stiffness, the cannabinoid receptors communicate these problems. At these times, your pet may show fatigue or appear stressed.

Phytocannabinoids soothe these cannabinoid receptors. In turn, your pet will move with more comfort. This change in neural conversation will improve your pet's temperament and restore its spark.

 

Promotes healthy sleep

Animals may look like they are lounging around all day, but many stay on guard. This protective nature can cause your pet to become highly stressed.

Stress triggers the inert fight or flight instincts of animals. These feelings are driven by hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline and cortisol keep animals alert and playful.

At night, there are fewer perceived threats in the wild because everyone is sleeping. During this time, your pet should lower its defenses and get some rest.

However, overstimulated animals still have high levels of stress hormones in their system. These hormones trigger cannabinoid receptors, causing your pet to release stress energy, including high energy bursts at night.

CBD oil calms these receptors, letting the system know that there are no threats. Stress hormones naturally decrease, allowing your pet (and the whole house) to enjoy a restful sleep.

Separation stress is one of the most common problems among pets. It often manifests itself in the form of anxiety, excessive barking, destruction around the house or loss of appetite. CBD has demonstrated positive effects on this type of anxiety disorder in pets. In fact, it acts on the endocannabinoid system present in their bodies, regulating their moods and reducing their stress levels. In this way, CBD can help your pet cope better with loneliness when you're not around.
