I have had alot of requests to write an article on CBD and pet health. I'm super excited about this one because I have personal experiences to share.

Our pets are our family & we would do anything to protect them and keep them healthy... It breaks our hearts when they are hurting or anxious and we are unable to comfort them... The good news? Our pets (along with all other mammals) have an Endocannabinoid System just like us humans so they can experience the same benefits of CBD that we do! Now, that being said, there are differences in our ECS and our pets ECS. They have more receptors than we do, especially in the brain, which is why too much THC can be catastrophic for them. CBD for your pets, in my opinion, should be an absolute no brainer. It can help with anxiety, epilepsy & seizures, inflammation, focus, bone protection and overall health... truly the list goes on and on. Most of us would raise our hands when asked if we felt like these things were important to us for our pets, and many of us would do what ever we could to bring comfort and health to our pets. To some of us, our pets are absolutely a family member.

That brings me to my personal stories with my pets and how CBD has made a huge difference their lives.

Abbey
We have an adorable, anxious, hyper little ball of fur named Abbey. She is a Boxer, and anyone who has ever met a Boxer knows how challenging they can be. When we first got her and were trying to crate train her we realized that she had severe separation anxiety. Everyday we would come home to a poop covered Abbey who had covered every inch of her enclosure. Even when she was in the crate when we were home she was very anxious and upset. When she was about 6 months old was when I first discovered CBD for myself (you can read my story here ). It was not long after that I realized that CBD was also being used by many people for their fur babies , so I jumped at the chance to bring her some relief. After her very 1st dose I noticed that she was not near as anxious. She was able to lie down with us and relax instead of pacing, she didn't get startled at every sound... we were making progress. We still had some growing pains with the typical puppy problems, but we saw light at the end of the tunnel. Today we have a very happy and healthy Abbey... We can go on long car trips without the pacing and whining, she lays down and naps on car rides now. I can bring her to the store with me and she stays in her crate in my office happily chewing on her antler and napping. We can leave her to roam the house when we are gone... no accidents, none of our things chewed or destroyed... Eureka!

Zoey
Zoey is my little Chihuahua (and by Chihuahua I mean the troll from Billy Goat Gruff). She is 13 years old & currently living with my sister in Tennessee. In December I got the call that I had been dreading for a long time. My sister called me and said she was pretty sure that Zoey had suffered a stroke or something catastrophic because she was unable to walk or even hold herself upright. She sent me a video that was heartbreaking. My Mom would try to stand her up and she would just fall over and clap her little back legs together. She looked scared and very confused. They were unable to take her to the vet to be put down that day because my sisters son was having a procedure done so I told them to give her a big dose of my Moms water soluble CBD to at least keep her calm while they did what had to be done. The next day I expected a video call from my sister so I could say goodbye, what I got was amazing. My sister sent me a video of my little Zoey prancing around like "look at me!". Even though I have done tons of research and had so many customers tell me extraordinary stories of how CBD helped their dogs, I was absolutely flabbergasted. That was over 6 months ago and she is still going strong. My sister just came to my house for a visit recently with her 2 kids, Zoey, and 3 other dogs in tow. Even though she is the smallest by far, she is absolutely the boss and can hold her own like a champ! We call her the troll because if another dog comes near her or her things and she is not in the mood she will run out, bite, and run back in (which is why we call her the troll).

• This first video shows Zoey prior to getting a dose of CBD
• This second video shows Zoey 24 hours after receiving 2 doses of CBD. You can tell that she is still having a little trouble with her paws and staying steady, but the difference was astounding!

These are just my personal stories, not to mention the countless stories I hear from my customers. I have heard countless stories from customers using CBD to stop and prevent seizures, seeing their dogs finally out of pain and acting like a dog again, stopping OCD behavior such as excessive licking & pacing, taking their pet off of harmful pharmaceuticals, and being able to enjoy the 4th of July without completely loosing it.


There is no doubt that CBD is just as good for our fur babies as it is for us!
