CBD oil has been shown to help with pain management, anxiety, and other health conditions in humans, but did you know that CBD can also be beneficial for animals (click here for the article)? In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the use of CBD for animals and answer some common questions about its safety, effectiveness, legality, and the different products that are available for the lovely creatures we share a home with.

Is CBD safe for animals?

The short answer is yes, CBD is safe for animals. CBD is not toxic and does not produce the “high” associated with marijuana. CBD products for animals are specifically formulated for pets and should contain zero THC, (the psychoactive compound in cannabis).

It’s important to choose high-quality CBD products from reputable sources to ensure that your pet is getting a safe and effective product. Like iCBD Global. 

All iCBD Global products are European Health registered (CPNP) & FSA Novel food registered (U.K. Food Standards Agency) and you can travel with them legally anywhere in the EU or U.K.

CBD for small pets?

You can even give CBD to Your furry feline friends.

CBD can be beneficial for small pets such as cats and dogs. CBD oil can help with various health conditions such as anxiety, pain, and seizures. 

It’s important to choose the right dose for your pet’s size and weight. A general rule of thumb is to give 2 mg of CBD per 5 kg of body weight.

It’s always best to consult with a veterinarian before giving your pet any new supplement, including CBD. They can help you determine the best dose for your pet’s specific needs.

Does CBD work for animals?

There is growing evidence to suggest that CBD can be effective for animals (click here for the article published by Harvard). CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system, which is a system of receptors found throughout the body, including in animals. 

This system plays a role in regulating various physiological functions such as pain, mood, and appetite. By interacting with this system, CBD can help to restore balance and improve various health conditions in animals.

Is CBD legal for animals in the UK?

In the UK, CBD products for animals are legal as long as they contain less than 0.2% THC.

However, U.K. law states that CBD for medical use on animals has to be prescribed by a veterinarian.

Is there a difference between CBD for animals vs humans?

Both the pet owner and the pet can use CBD to enhance their lives.

CBD is the same for both animals and humans, but the dosing and method of administration may differ. CBD products for animals are specifically formulated for pets and come in different forms such as oils, drops, and creams. 

CBD for animals with anxiety

Anxiety is a common issue in pets, especially in certain situations such as travel, fireworks, or new surroundings. Sometimes even a new human family member can cause anxiety in animals.

CBD oil can help to calm pets and reduce anxiety by interacting with the aforementioned endocannabinoid system.

CBD for animals with cancer

Just like a safe and secure environment can help with Your pet's health issues - CBD works with the internal endocannabinoid system of Your animal. And brings them back into harmony with themselves.

CBD oil has been shown to have anti-tumour effects and can help with pain management in animals with cancer (click here for the article). 

It can also help to improve the quality of life and reduce side effects from traditional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy.

However, it’s important to consult with a veterinarian before giving your pet CBD oil, as it can interact with certain medications.
