Ettel adds that while her products contain
psychoactive properties, if used in the right
dosage in proportion to the animal’s size,
there is no reason they should ever become
intoxicated by it.
Brian Walker’s California company, Making
You Better Brands, offers a marijuana based
doggie shampoo for pain relief (along with
similar products for horses).
Walker says that the marijuana is never
activated with heat, a process necessary for
making the plant psychoactive.
But his company is still regulated like any
other in the cannabis industry, meaning pet
owners can only buy it in a dispensary with a
(human) prescription, and can’t take it out of
state.
Walker said the lack of information available
about the differences between hemp, active
cannabis and inactive cannabis has prevented
acceptance among veterinarians of medical
marijuana.
“They picture a dog eating a brownie and
being high for two days,” he said. “But with
non-active cannabis they’re not going to get
high – they’re going to get well.”

By Blake Armstrong https://cannabissupplementsforpets.com/benefits-of-cbd-for-dogs/
Does this sound like you:
When your pet gets sick, you give it your all
to find them the best possible medicine or
treatment available. Right?
In this article I’m going to list the 7 main
benefits of CBD for pets.
I’ll explore some key therapeutic effects and
uses of this compound, as well as CBD’s
ability to help restore balance and promote
“homeostasis” for your pets.
Before We Start: Understanding CBD
Before we start exploring the individual
benefits of CBD, it’s important to cover some
basics about this compound first.
Below is some basic information about CBD,
where it comes from, and how it interacts with
the body.
I’m the same way.
So, when my Golden Retriever Rosie was
diagnosed with cancer and hip dysplasia a few
years ago, it wasn’t long before I stumbled on
to CBD.
If you’ve got a sick pet at home, chances are
you’ve also heard of this new miracle
medicine.
But you’re likely to still have a lot of
questions about CBD, what it is, and what
benefits it can bring your pet.
What Is CBD?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound found in
cannabis, the plant we often associate with
marijuana.
In fact, it is one of
over 113
“cannabinoids”
found in the
cannabis plant,
many of which
are also being investigated for their potential
health benefits.
