Keep Your Golden Retriever Stress Free With Canine CBD

CBD for Golden Retrievers

While its human benefits have long been appreciated, Cannabidiol (CBD) has potential for pets as well. CBD is a chemical commonly derived from hemp or cannabis that contains only trace amounts of THC (the psychoactive/mind-altering component). CBD is reported to address a number of debilitating dog health issues including arthritis, itchiness, cancer, and seizures. There are a number of ongoing studies relating to its efficacy for pain management and stress in canines. Many dog owners have indicated that CBD has significantly reduced anxiety/stress/aggression in their canine.

CBD Dog Products

As a product for dogs, CBD is often found in the form of oils, chew treats, or tinctures. When purchasing a CBD product, it is very important to choose a reputable manufacturer that specifically formulates their product for canines. Ensure that the CBD is certified organic and does not contain toxic substances or additives. All quality CBD products provide an analysis of the active amount of CBD. Windy Knoll Goldens recommends Vermont Pure CBD. We have used this full spectrum tincture for our dogs with satisfactory results.

CBD Summary

Although considered by some as a “miracle” drug for dogs, CBD should be used carefully and in conjunction with your vet’s advice. If you use CBD supplements for your golden retriever, we would love to hear what conditions you have used it for and how effective it has been.
