Keep Your Pets and CBD Products Close
Serious pet owners – those who want animals to live a healthy life – know the locations of local and distant vets and the stores selling relevant products. Not every pet owner knows this since some let their pets fend for themselves. Pets, like anybody else, need care – especially in matters of health.
There are many products on the market dealing with animal health. Among these is CBD or cannabidiol, a compound extract from hemp. Hemp does not contain the marijuana compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that makes people high. Pets and CBD products are today heavily linked in households that have the welfare of animals at heart.
Pet owners use CBD to treat animals for anxiety and skin ailments. Studies show that with the use of CBD, there is a decrease in arthritic pain and control of seizures in animals.
Over the counter
Retailers sell CBD products over the counter and online for reasons you will know soon. But first, learn about the form in which they come. Stores and online services sell them as oil, capsules, topical lotions, and dog treats. Peer review is scanty on the products, and research studies available seemingly derive from small sample sizes – indicators of big issue buyers should know.
The products are yet to receive approval from the authorities in the country of origin, USA – Food, and Drug Administration – which may allow vets to recommend the animal drug to consumers. Even so, this may not bar vets in other countries from prescribing it, but as it is already available, at least online, many pet owners are using it. It shows that CBD works.
Pet owners see a positive change in animal behavior after administering the drugs, and to them, that is sufficient proof that the products work. Let us see, in the absence of enough authoritative data, how you can best use these CBD products.

Find out (from the accompanying literature) if the manufacturer provides how to test for results.
