It is very hard to see your pets suffering from many health disorders and you being powerless to help. When you suspect that something is wrong with your pet, the only option you have is to take them to the vets. However, most of the pet medications are ineffective and cause side effects.
According to recent studies, CBD can be beneficial for treating many of the health problems in animals also. The health benefits of CBD are well known and pet owners around the world are now giving it to their pets for alleviating many of their health disorders.
Here are some of the health problems of your pets that can be treated with CBD oil.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a very common mental health disorder in animals, especially dogs. You might have observed your dog exhibiting destructive behavior, or being restless whenever someone enters the house or you leave the house. This might be because of anxiety disorders. Separation anxiety is also very common among dogs. CBD can help your dog to reduce anxiety by giving a sense of relaxation.
Nausea
If your dog is not eating any food that you are giving, it might be due to nausea. In that case, try to give them a CBD treat. The anti-emetic properties of CBD will help your pet to alleviate nausea and vomiting. CBD’s interaction with the endocannabinoid system will also help to regulate appetite in your dog.
Seizures
Much like humans, animals also suffer from chronic seizures. Several studies have proven that CBD has the ability to reduce the frequency of seizures in epileptic patients. So you can also try CBD for your pets if they are experiencing seizures regularly. The traditional medications that are given to dogs for seizure control may cause side effects. But CBD is very safe and does not cause any severe side effects.
Chronic Pain
Arthritis is a common inflammatory disorder in humans as well as animals. CBD possesses anti-inflammatory properties that will help to reduce the inflammation in the joints and thereby the pain associated with it. CBD is also helpful in alleviating neuropathic pain. Your pets may also suffer from muscle spasms that can be treated with CBD oil.
Cancer
Some anecdotal records are showing that CBD could control the growth of cancer cells. Preliminary studies are showing that CBD can induce tumor cell death. Colon cancer is very common in dogs and many vets are now suggesting the use of CBD for controlling cancer cell growth. CBD can also be used to alleviate the side effect of cancer treatment.
