We already know that CBD has many benefits for the human body when taken consistently, but do dogs get the same benefit as humans do when it comes to CBD? The answer is yes! For starters, you and your dog both have an endocannabinoid system. This system helps us maintain homeostasis by regulating our physiological, emotional and cognitive stability. Research suggests that an unbalanced endocannabinoid system can look like this: anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, pain, low energy/lack of activity, and aggression in both dogs and humans. When an endocannabinoid system is unbalanced, it is due to the lack of endocannabinoids being produced. Supplementing with CBD is beneficial because it interacts with the endocannabinoid receptors in our bodies, overtime promoting homeostasis. Many dog owners notice positive physiological, emotional and cognitive improvement when supplementing their dogs with CBD on a regular basis.
