CBD FOR PETS: PART I

Updated: Jul 13, 2021

CBD FOR PETS:

It has been established by scientists that the cannabinoids in CBD have a role in the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps to maintain homeostasis in the body. Both humans and other mammals have this system in their bodies. CBD for pets is effective for joint pain, muscle pain and weakness, anxiousness, and symptoms related to appetite disorders and seizures.


CBD reduces separation stress: One of the most common mental issues that pet owners deal with is separation stress, which is characterized by excessive barking, destructive behavior, or extreme restlessness when their owner isn’t home. CBD oil, when given twice daily, has the same calming effect that humans see with continued use.


CBD relieves discomfort: CBD supports a healthy inflammatory response. A large amount of physical discomfort experienced by both humans and pets is related to inflammation, whether it’s muscles or joints that are affected. CBD oil can be used to treat older pets who often suffer from discomfort and soreness.


CBD provides nervous system support: CBD is very effective when used for symptoms of seizures, which can be difficult to control with traditional medicines that also may cause damage to the liver.

Our CBD oil for pets gives owners a convenient and delicious way to benefit from the natural properties of hemp-derived CBD. With a delicious bacon or chicken taste, our CBD oil for pets is easy to digest, making it simple to incorporate into the daily routine. It also can help reduce the effects of normal environmental stress and maintain calmness in house pets. Additionally, CBD oil for pets:

CBD FOR PETS: JOINT SUPPORT:

It’s never easy to see our pets struggling with age-related issues like joint problems and limited mobility. That’s why we created this product, which was specifically formulated to support pet joint function. Our CBD joint formula combines the natural properties of CBD and other proven ingredients like glucosamine to promote healthy joints, help improve joint discomfort, and ease stiffness due to normal daily exercise and activity. Additionally, our CBD joint support for pets comes with a delicious bacon flavor, making it easier to administer. Our CBD Pet Joint Support helps support your pet’s joint health through six active ingredients:


· CBD: acts upon receptors within the joints. Through its interaction with endocannabinoid receptors, CBD may help minimize discomfort and promote a healthy inflammatory response.

· Glucosamine: stimulates the production of proteoglycans, which help maintain the health and resiliency of joints and connective tissue.

· Chondroitin: helps to retain fluid in the joints, and helps cushion joints from friction, therefore helping to reduce discomfort.

· Hyaluronic acid: promotes the lubrication of joints and shock absorption capacity.

· Turmeric powder: has natural anti-inflammatory properties.

· Manganese ascorbate: helps to promote a healthy inflammatory response.


Ingredients: CBD 2.5 mg; glucosamine 400 mg; chondroitin 250 mg; MSM 250 mg; hyaluronic acid 3.0 mg; manganese ascorbate 2.5 mg; turmeric powder 25 mg; and bacon flavoring.

CBD FOR PETS: CASE STUDY #1: DINO:

Dino is a 9-year-old Great Dane that weighs 140 pounds. He suffers from joint pain and inflammation, particularly in the hind quarters, mobility issues, hypothyroidism, patches of lost hair, and fatigue. He has been suffering from these ailments for about 6 months. The veterinarian has prescribed anti-inflammatory, allergy, and thyroid medications that are very cost invasive. To date, none of these medications are working to alleviate his symptoms.


We started Dino on the Wild Child CBD Pet Joint Support on January 10, 2020 to promote healthy joints, improve joint discomfort, and ease stiffness. We started with a dose of 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills in the evening to achieve therapeutic levels.


On January 24, 2020, Dino's owner reports the following results:

More restful sleep and fatigue relief was almost immediate.

Shaking in the hind quarters has diminished.

Getting up off the floor is much easier.

He curls up in a ball to sleep again.

He is more active and generally feels much better.


We are now convinced that Dino's thyroid issues and lost hair are caused by an immune system imbalance, and not allergies. We are evaluating these findings and determining what course to take next.


On June 1, 2020 we noted the following changes:

Dino has been on the reduced dosage of 1 pill in the morning and 1 pill in the evening for the past 6 weeks. He is still sleeping a lot, however, he is beginning to have a recurrence of the lost hair and hind quarter difficulty. The vet has provided a spray for the lost hair instead of the cream used previously. We plan to observe him a few more weeks to determine if the relapse is intermittent before making a decision to increase the dosage.


On July 1, 2020 we noted the following changes:

Dino is still sleeping a lot and it is apparent that he is feeling better. He is playful for the first time in almost a year, and he chases Daisy around the yard at times. The spray Dino’s vet provided his hair loss is working winders! His hair is growing back already, and therefore, we have decided to leave him on the current dose of 1 pill in the morning and 1 pill in the evening.


On November 1, 2020 Dino started declining rapidly and would no longer chew the supplement. We knew his time was close because he also quit eating or drinking, and started hiding when outside in the back yard. We made the decision to ease his suffering, and started giving him a dropper full of CBD oil every hour while waiting for the vet to arrive. He was able to rest comfortably during the transition, and we felt good knowing we had made his last hours peaceful and pain free.

She has been suffering from these ailments for about 6 months. The veterinarian has prescribed anti-inflammatory medications that are very cost invasive. To date, none of these medications are working to alleviate her symptoms.


We started Lucy on Wild Child CBD Pet Joint Supplement on March 1, 2020. We started with a dose of 1-1/2 pill in the morning and 1-1/2 pill in the evening to achieve therapeutic levels.

On July 1, 2020, Lucy’s owner noted the following changes:

Lucy has regressed a bit and the vet recommended that we add Wild Child CBD Oil for Pets to Lucy’s regimen. We decided to reduce her joint supplement to 1 pill in the morning and 1 pill in the evening, and 1 dropper full of Wild Child CBD Oil for Pets at bedtime.


On August 15, 2020 Lucy’s owner notes:

•Shaking in the hind quarters has diminished.

•Mobility has improved.

•She is more active and generally feels much better.

•She rests better and is more perky during the day.

•She just celebrated her 16th birthday and is living her best life!


On January 4, 2021 Lucy’s owner notes that Lucy has stopped accepting the chewable supplement. We made the decision to switch Lucy to Wild Child Bacon Flavored CBD Oil for Pets at a strength of 500 mg only. Her initial dosage is 1 dropper full in the morning and evening.

On March 19, 2021, Lucy’s owner reports that she has been diagnosed with Cushing’s Disease, a common disorder in older dogs and especially Boston terriers that is caused by a tumor in the pituitary gland. Symptoms include night time urination and excessive thirst, and are often thought to be signs of aging. We decided to increase Lucy’s CBD Oil dosage to 1 dropper full in the morning, and 2 droppers full at night. Our hope is to relieve her symptoms and extend her quality of life.


CBD CASE STUDY #8: LOGAN:

Logan is a 50 pound, 11-year-old Chow-Chow Mix. He is a rescue dog and is currently on Apoquel for an allergy to which the vet cannot identify. The allergy causes “hot spots” that he licks for relief, very quickly resulting in hair loss and skin breakdown at that spot. Even on Apoquel he has occasional break-throughs which leads to 1-2 weeks with a cone until it’s healed! His owner tries to catch him before he goes too far down this path to prevent his having to wear the awful cone. The Apoquel is expensive and potentially toxic, requiring blood tests to monitor him, and his owner is interested in a healthier alternative that may treat his chronic itch and also help some of his joint issues at the same time. Logan has also started having a little difficulty getting up, and he is currently on a glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM supplement that helps somewhat. Once he gets moving, he’s fine. To date, Logan has never shown a limp, and keeps up with 2-year-old Benji, a rescue Lhasa Apso, just fine!

On April 1, 2021, we started Logan on the Pet Essentials Joint Support Supplement with CBD at a dose of 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening. We are going to watch him for 4 weeks to see if his itch is relieved with this supplement. We suspect he is anxious and does not have an allergy.

CBD CASE STUDY #9: TROOPER:

Trooper is a 25 pound, 12-year-old Cavalier King Charles and Japanese Chin Mix. He has high anxiety before, during, and after rain storms, no matter how mild the storm is. Trooper has also started having a little difficulty getting up and down. Once he gets moving, he’s fine. To date, Trooper has never shown a limp, and keeps up with the other pets in the house just fine!


On June 1, 2021, we started Trooper on the Pet Essentials Joint Support Supplement with CBD at a dose of 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening. We also rub Wild Child Lavender Dream Oil on the bottom of his paws when his storm anxiety starts.

CBD CASE STUDY #10: CHARLIE:

Charlie is a 25 pound, 14-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. His age is starting to show, and he is having trouble walking, getting up and down, and making it to the back yard when he needs to go outside. He is also hard of hearing and his eye sight is beginning to fade.


On June 15, 2021, we started Charlie on the Pet Essentials Joint Support Supplement with CBD at a dose of 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening.

CBD CASE STUDY #11: ROXY:

Roxy is an 80 pound, 6-year-old Blue Pit Bull. She is extremely hyperactive and has trouble calming down, especially when new people visit. She is so over active that it is nearly impossible to pet her or play with her. Her owner has had her spayed in the hopes of calming her down, but to no avail.


On June 15, 2021, we started Roxy on the Pet Essentials Joint Support Supplement with CBD at a dose of 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening.

CBD CASE STUDY #12: NOLA:

Nola is a 90 pound, 7-year-old Blue Pit Bull. She is already showing signs of joint pain in her hind quarters, and she has great difficulty getting up and down, and walking. She is currently taking a very expensive joint supplement provided by the vet. The supplement does not seem to be helping her symptoms.


On June 15, 2021, we started Nola on the Pet Essentials Joint Support Supplement with CBD at a dose of 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening.
