The Benefits of CBD for Cats & Dogs

CBD (Cannabidiol) has become extremely popular in recent years and for good reason! Thankfully, cultural attitude towards cannabis and hemp has shifted dramatically in the United States and other countries over the past decade which has paved the way for some real eye opening research.

CBD and other phytocannabinoids interact with CB1 & CB2 receptors in our endocannabinoid system – humans and animals have both been found to have endocannabinoid systems.

Very simply, the job of the endocannabinoid system is to regulate the flow of signals that are being sent between cells with the goal of maintaining balance, also referred to as ‘homeostasis’.

The Endocannabinoid System

The endocannabinoid system regulates several of the most important physiological pathways in the body, to include: 

Gastrointestinal activity
Cardiovascular activity
Pain perception 
Modulation of neurotransmitter release
Maintenance of bone mass
Protection of neurons
Hormonal regulation
Metabolism control
Immune function 
Inflammatory reactions
Inhibition of tumor cells

While there is still plenty of research to be done, there is no denying the fact that CBD oil is here to stay.
