CBD Calming Chew Treats
Is your dog suffering from anxiety, pain, or discomfort? Is your dog anxious when being groomed? If so, you may want to think about using CBD calming chew treats to help relieve their symptoms.
CBD (or cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from hemp plants, thought to be helpful in treating a variety of physical and psychological conditions in humans -- and our K-9 friends!
So, what are the benefits of CBD calming chew treats for dogs? Here are a couple reasons to try it:
1. TO HELP WITH ANXIETY
It’s common for dogs to experience nervousness and stress. Studies show that CBD relieves symptoms of anxiety in both humans and dogs by interacting with the body’s natural endocannabinoid system to stimulate the production of serotonin, which stabilizes your dog’s mood and relieves their anxiety.
CBD-containing chews or treats can go a long way to help calm an anxious dog, especially when used in conjunction with regular exercise, plenty of chew toys, a consistent daily routine, and a healthy and nutritious diet.
2. TO EASE ARTHRITIS AND JOINT PAIN
Just like humans, dogs can develop chronic joint inflammation and/or deterioration, which leads to pain. In fact, about 20% of dogs cope with arthritis in the US. CBD dog treats for joint pain, can help ease the discomfort, stiffness, and mobility problems related to arthritis and other joint inflammation disorders.
3. TO TREAT NOISE PHOBIA
If your dog gets nervous and jittery around fireworks or feels anxious from the sound of a crackling fire, CBD calming chew treats can help calm their nerves. In the same way, it interacts with the receptors in your pup’s brain to treat general or separation anxiety, it can also work to relieve more short-term anxious responses.
4. FOR HEART HEALTH
In addition to relieving short-term stress, CBD also addresses the longer-term impacts of anxiety and helps prevent symptoms of age-related heart conditions by reducing your pup’s overall blood pressure and heart rate. This is because it helps regulate your dog’s endocannabinoid system, which keeps their body in a natural state of balance and homeostasis.
5. TO HELP WITH SLEEP
If your dog is having difficulty falling or staying asleep, a CBD calming chew treat is a great way to help them relax and sleep. Whether their restlessness is due to illness, pain, or anxiety, CBD is likely to help. That’s because it regulates serotonin, relaxes the body, and encourages overall immune health, which is sure to help your pup sleep through the night.
