8. CBD FOR ANIMALS
All mammals possess an endocannabinoid system.
Thus, dogs, cats, horses and other animals can also benefit from CBD.
CBD AND ITS EFFECT ON ANIMALS
The effect of CBD has already been confirmed by clinical studies in cats, dogs
and horses.
Just like humans, animals also have a so-called endocannabinoid system in their
bodies, which reacts with its CB1 and CB2 receptors to the cannabinoids from
the hemp plant and can absorb and utilise them well in the body.
The CBD affects the memory, learning, feelings, motor skills, pain sensation and
also the blood pressure of the animals.
CBD can increase the animal's response to fear, pain, stress, etc.
In this way, the nervous system reduces symptoms that occur during
inflammation, or it can simply ignore pain.
Cannabidiol, this has already been proven by numerous studies, can be used
very well for various complaints.
It has an anxiety-relieving, relaxing and anti-inflammatory effect, which is why
it is increasingly used in animals as a natural alternative to medical
preparations.
Dogs that had received CBD drops seemed more relaxed and calmer after
taking them.
In cats it is often used to stimulate the appetite when they don't want to eat
because of pain.
CBD can also be used to treat arthritis when conventional painkillers alone do
not help or have unwanted side effects.
