The Holistic Approach in Canine Medicine

WHAT IS THE SCIENCE BEHIND CBD

FOR DOGS

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound and is the primary chemical found in the cannabis plant. CBD is non-psychoactive making it safe for medical consumption. CBD provides your pet a sense of balance and an overall calming feeling.

CBD works in our pets bodies through a positive interaction with an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that is similar to our own.

CBD oil is used in treatments for both humans and pets.

HOW DOES CBD

WORK IN YOUR

DOG'S BODY?

The effects of CBD are similar in humans, dogs, cats, and other pets. This is because, just like humans, dogs and cats also have an endocannabinoid system (ECS).

The ECS is a network of cellular activators and receptors in the body that regulate physiological processes, including pain, mood, inflammation, stress, and more.

CBD’s therapeutic effect on the body occurs in several ways including the following:

CBD binds to and activates the vanilloid, adenosine, and serotonin receptors in a dog’s ECS and helps to regulate pain perception, inflammation, temperature, and more. It also boosts dopamine levels, helping to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

CBD also blocks GPR55. GPR55 are protein receptors: cannabidiol acts as an antagonist to GPR55 protein receptors. By blocking it, CBD can help to hinder bone reabsorption associated with osteoporosis and modulate blood pressure. It can also help to reduce the spread of cancerous cells throughout the body as GPR55 has been associated with the proliferation of cancer cells.

TRPV1 Receptors: CBD binds to TRPV1 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, which helps to reduce pain and inflammation, and regulate body temperature.

CBD is a possible solution – it has anti-inflammatory properties and relieves the inflammation that causes itching, hives, and blisters.

Anxiety and stress

CBD can reduce anxiety in your dog including that from separation anxiety, loud noises and stress. It acts to calm your dog in stressful situations.

Cancer fighting

Seizures and Epilepsy
