    Understanding the Benefits of Hemp and CBD Products for Animals

    Author: Lucie Garabasova

    Do you know the difference between hemp oil and CBD hemp oil? Are you aware of how your pet can benefit from hempseed cake and hemp bran? Or when it makes sense to try hemp ointment for your animal? This article summarizes the effects of CBD oils for animals and other hemp-based products, including oils, treats, hempseed cake, bran, and ointments.

    What is CBD?

    CBD stands for cannabidiol—a cannabinoid, or compound, found in the hemp plant, much like THC. However, unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and does not produce any intoxicating effects. It is an approved veterinary medicinal product that can be used safely in animals. The safety of CBD use in animals is backed by the approval of CBD oils for animals from Cannadorra by the Institute for State Control of Veterinary Biologicals and Medicines.

    How Does CBD Work in Animals?

    Not only humans but all mammals, and even some invertebrates, have specific receptors throughout their bodies that respond to cannabinoids. These receptors interact with cannabinoids like CBD, acting like a lock and key. This network of receptors forms the endocannabinoid system. If there is an imbalance within this system, supplementing with cannabinoids can help restore balance.

    When to Use Hemp Oil for Animals

    Cold-pressed hemp seed oil is particularly beneficial for dogs fed with the BARF method (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food). Regularly adding about 10 ml of hemp oil to your dog’s daily diet can result in a soft and shiny coat.
