CBD Oil for Dogs
How It Works
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a substance that is found in a cannabis or hemp plant. Unlike THC that creates a ‘high’, CBD is NOT a psychoactive stimulus. It provides your dog with pain-relief and a calming feeling without harming them with potential intoxicating effects.
Both humans and dogs have an endocannabinoid system (ECS). CBD targets the ECS receptors located in the brain, organs, central nervous system, and immune cells.
