Research on Dogs
Currently, there is limited information available regarding the effects of CBD on dogs. In a study published online in early 2019, American veterinarians shared their knowledge and experiences concerning CBD and its impact on dogs’ health conditions and showed that the dogs who took CBD all exhibited positive side effects.
CBD Oil Dosage for Dogs
According to a study published in 2018, dogs with osteoarthritis were given a daily dosage of 2-8 mg of CBD per kilogram of body weight for 2-4 weeks. For example, for an average 30 kg dog, this would be 60-240 mg of CBD daily, at the end of the study, the dogs who took CBD showed a significant improvement in osteoarthritis.
Research on CBD for Dogs: What Problems are Being Studied?
Currently, there is still limited research available regarding the potential effects of CBD on dogs. However, let’s look at a few studies:
In a 2019 study, the effects of CBD on dogs’ epileptic seizures were examined.
Another 2020 study investigated the effects of CBD on anxiety related to loud noises. They observed a total of 16 dogs.
A more recent 2021 study focused on a small group of 24 dogs, examining CBD’s impact on dog aggression.
An old 2011 study also investigated whether CBD could be suitable for relieving pain in dogs with cancer.
How USA Medical CBD Helps Your Dog
At USA Medical, we offer science-backed, certified organic, and third-party tested CBD products that can provide potential benefits for your dog. Here’s how our CBD can help:
Pain Relief and Inflammation Reduction
CBD has been studied for its potential analgesic (pain-relieving) and anti-inflammatory properties. It may help alleviate discomfort and reduce inflammation in dogs, especially those with conditions like osteoarthritis or other forms of pain.
Support for Anxiety and Stress
CBD has shown promise in helping dogs with anxiety and stress-related issues. It can promote relaxation and a sense of calmness by interacting with the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating mood and emotions.
Promotion of Overall Well-being
CBD can contribute to your dog’s overall well-being by supporting their immune system and promoting balance in their body. It can enhance their natural defenses and aid in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
