What Is CBD Oil for Dogs?
CBD Oil stands for cannabidiol, a liquid extract derived from specialized hemp strains within the cannabis plant family.
When the highest quality CBD oil is extracted from the hemp plant, it contains a variety of therapeutic compounds, which we categorize into two types: cannabinoids and terpenes.
There are over 100 known cannabinoids, and CBD is one of the most prevalent and offers the most medicinal benefits. CBD Oil also contains over 100 terpenes, which contribute to the plant’s aroma and flavor. CBD Oil for Dogs is very similar to the CBD oils used by humans, but it comes in varying concentrations to accommodate different body weights.
CBD oils are most effective when paired with other cannabinoids and terpenes. This combination creates the “entourage effect,” which enhances the potential benefits of the cannabis plant. This allows for a broader range of therapeutic effects from the hemp extract, resulting in Full Spectrum CBD Oil.
The isolated version of hemp CBD Oil, which contains only the CBD cannabinoid in a high concentration, has difficulty passing the blood-brain barrier for absorption. As a result, its effects are significantly less potent compared to Full Spectrum CBD Oil. When cannabinoids and terpenes work together, they help clear cellular receptors, allowing CBD to move more freely. Studies suggest that this synergy can make Full Spectrum CBD Oil up to 5 times more effective than isolated CBD.
It’s important to note that pet CBD Oil, when extracted from Industrial Cannabis Plants, contains none of the psychoactive effects of THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). This is a common concern for many pet owners considering CBD Oil for Dogs. Our Industrial Hemp Plants contain less than 0.3% THC, in line with the Agricultural Act of 2018, also known as the Farm Bill.
Scientists have confirmed that the endocannabinoid system and its receptors benefit positively from the interaction of CBD cannabinoids with the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as other regulatory systems. This interaction helps CBD Oil for Dogs maintain balance in the body, supporting a healthy state known as homeostasis.
Homeostasis is the process by which the body maintains balance while adjusting to changing external conditions. Not only does it support optimal function within the body, but homeostasis is also critical for an organism’s survival.
