Have you ever wondered why cannabis has such a unique effect compared to other herbs? The Endocannabinoid System, comprising of cannabinoid receptors, is present in all mammals as well as reptiles, birds and fish, and is the reason why cannabis has such a powerful effect.
Since all animals have this system, cannabis can be used to treat medical ailments in pets, similarly to how it is used to treat those conditions in humans.
Combining CBD and THC can greatly reduce the elevated properties of THC, while the numerous medicinal benefits remain. THC has many important medicinal properties. Indica dominant cannabis products can provide pain relief, are a muscle relaxant, an appetite stimulant, as well as a sedative.
CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that greatly reduces feelings of anxiety along with being an anti-inflammatory.
Both THCa and CBD are non-psychoactive cannabinoids that provide a serious boost to the immune system. THCa has been shown to slow the spread of cancerous cells* and is an antispasmodic while CBD is effective for many symptoms including nausea, anxiety, and inflammation.
Both these cannabinoids can be used to help combat cancer-related issues, and autoimmune diseases.
Anxiety is a condition that affects many humans and their pets. For occasional or situational anxiety, a tincture can be used as needed, while persistent anxiety may require the use of the tincture a couple of times per day to keep the endocannabinoid system activated. A tincture with a high ratio of CBD:THC, such as 20:1, is a great starting point for treating anxiety.
Tinctures are a common way to easily dose your pet. You can either place the drops directly into your pet’s mouth, or drop it into some wet food, or a treat. We recommend giving a seperate portion that has the medication mixed in to ensure your pet ingests all the medication.
Ask your cannabis consultant about proper dosing for your pet. An appropriate dose can vary based on weight and severity of the medical condition.
