Throughout 2020, pet adoption rates skyrocketed, clearing out adoption centers across the nation. Millions of dogs and cats found new forever homes, and new pet parents were overjoyed to have a furry friend to ride out quarantine with them.
As more and more people begin to return to work in person, these beloved pets, who are used to constant companionship, are having to adjust to new routines and more time spent at home by themselves.
If your pet is struggling to make the change or dealing with stress from being home alone all day, then CBD may be able to help.
As CBD increases in popularity with both people and pets, more and more pet owners are reporting that taking CBD helps their pets to feel calm and relaxed, preventing many of the hallmarks of pet separation anxiety like whining, pacing, indoor accidents, and tearing up furniture.1
If you’d like to try CBD to help your pet stay calm and relaxed while you’re away at work, then there are a couple of important things to look for:
- THC-free products formulated specifically for pets. THC is toxic to dogs and cats.
- Third-party tested products that have been certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority.
- Pet friendly flavors like bacon, chicken, beef, or unflavored products.
- Pet specific doses – start at 1-2mg of CBD per 10 pounds of body weight.
