BALANCE IS HEALTH
The endocannabinoid system
Much like humans, dogs and all other pets have an Endocannabinoid System (ECS), according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. This system is responsible for supporting and maintaining a healthy balance, or homeostasis, within the body while also assisting in your pet’s overall recovery and repair functions.

HOW CBD WORKS ON OUR PETS
The science:
Much like humans, dogs and all other pets have an Endocannabinoid System (ECS), according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. This system is responsible for supporting and maintaining a healthy balance, or homeostasis, within the body while also assisting in your pet’s overall recovery and repair functions.
The ECS is made up of receptors on cell membranes that regulate a variety of processes, including eating, sleeping, relaxation, and cognition. These CBD (cannabinoid) receptors are also responsible for providing the health benefits of CBD to the different parts of your pet’s body.

CBD and Anxiety
Pets can undergo either behavioral or situational anxiety. In most cases, your pet will suffer from situational anxiety, especially during thunderstorms, when traveling or during the festival season where people are all out in “scary” costumes. CBD has been shown to be extremely effective in relieving stress and anxiety due to its soothing and calming effects. In humans, CBD has been found to reduce anxiety during public speaking, reduce anxiety in both healthy people and those with anxiety disorders as well as the ability to reduce anxiety in people with panic disorders and PTSD.
CBD AND SEIZURES/EPILEPSY
This is normally treated using over the counter drugs such as potassium bromide and phenobarbital. Even though these drugs might work in controlling seizures for some pets, they also pose a threat to their livers and other organs. Furthermore, these treatments do not work on all pets. In humans, CBD has been shown to work greatly in controlling epileptic episodes even in patients that are resistant to normal medication. In one of these investigations, seven out of eight subjects with epilepsy reported a definite improvement after using CBD for 4-5 months. In another study focusing on children with drug-resistant epilepsy, the researchers found that CBD reduced the frequency of seizures in 84% of the subjects. Just like humans, CBD can also help your furry friends by reducing the severity and frequency of seizures.
"CBD has been shown to be beneficial in experimental models of several neurological disorders, including those of seizure and epilepsy."
