CBD and pets – boosting health and wellness of our companions
Harbl’s CBD range is here to help you discover new self-care rituals with your furry friends!
Nowadays several pet owners are looking for ways to meet their dogs or cats’ health and wellness needs and are turning to CBD oil to provide their pet with the same benefits that they experience while using it as part of their own daily routine.
Dogs and cats have a similar, if not more sensitive, endocannabinoid system as humans.
This means that – the introduction of CBD oil into their system may trigger similar and even more enhanced effects as those experienced by their owners.
As pets experience many of the same ailments as humans, from anxiety to chronic pain, inflammation and arthritis – the use of CBD for animal species is an area of growing interest due its possible immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory properties.
“An animal study from the European Journal of Pain suggests that CBD could help lower anxiety as well as pain and inflammation due to arthritis when applied to the skin” says Harvard Medical School.
Canine Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory condition marked by pain, stiffness and loss of mobility and it could leave your pet lethargic, irritable and reluctant to play, run or jump.
Unfortunately, this condition is common in dogs specifically – research by Forbes estimates that it affects at least 20% of all dogs older than 1 year old, with higher risk for older dogs.
Researchers from Baylor College of Medicine conducted a 4 week study that included 20 large dogs diagnosed with Osteoarthritis who were randomly assigned to receive either a placebo or different CBD options.
While the placebo group and the low CBD group showed no improvement, by the end of the one month period – the group of dogs who took higher doses of CBD or used CBD in a liposomal formulation saw significant improvement in their mobility and quality of life!

However, just like humans, pets may have different reactions to CBD based on their body weight, metabolism and medical history.
For this reason – it’s essential to consult with your pet’s veterinarian to ensure whether CBD oil is safe for them and what CBD dosage regimen would be the most effective!
