5 Benefits CBD Oil May Provide to Senior Dogs

All dogs need love, but senior dogs definitely deserve a little extra TLC.

Senior dogs have dedicated their lives to being loyal, loving companions. And as they age and start to experience new struggles, like arthritis, it’s our job to do the best we can to give them a comfortable and happy life.

To do this, many dog owners are turning to CBD Calming Oil. CBD oil is a natural derivative of the Hemp plant. Most CBD available today is TCH-free (the stuff that creates the ‘buzz’), so it’s 100% safe, and as a supplement it may provide many incredible benefits to our canine companions.

#1 – CBD Calming Oil for Dogs: Aches and Pains

CBD Calming Oil influences dogs a lot more than humans…

Dogs have 5x times as many CBD receptors than humans…which is why it's no surprise they seem to react so much from it!

The oil safely interacts with proteins in the body and central nervous system (including the endocannabinoid system). It also affects CB1 receptors that are located in the brain and central nervous system as well as CB2 cannabinoid receptors that are in the spleen and a dog’s immune system.

This interaction has been known to affect inflammation which can cause pain, and also affects the pain receptors as they fire, which cause discomfort.

If you have a senior dog with achy joints, arthritis, or pain from an injury, it's definitely worth investigating the benefits of CBD Calming Oil.

More important, if you have a dog with an injury that needs to rest,  calming your dog so they can rest and take it easy, not putting unnecessary stress on their body, is a great idea.

#2 – CBD Calming Oil for dogs: Anxiety

As we just discussed, CBD Calming Oil affects the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are most commonly found in the nervous system.

When the CB1 and CB2 receptors are impacted by CBD oil, serotonin—a chemical that naturally relaxes the body and improves mood—has been known to increase.

It works the same way for humans as it does for dogs. Adding CBD Calming Oil Dog Chews to your everyday routine is an easy way to make this fun and they work perfectly as a training aid too.

Of course, training is still incredibly important for anxiety relief and I would ALWAYS start with ensuring that you have a solid foundational program in place. This ensures that you are not creating the anxiety in your dog with how you’re interacting with them. If you’re in need of a safe, gentle training program, check out The Dog Calming Code.

Using both a solid training program and one of my CBD Calming Oil products hand-in-hand, is a great way to get the most out of your training session… you want your dog’s mind focussed when it matters most.

#3 – CBD Calming Oil: Increasing Your Dog’s Appetite

Older dogs tend to lose their appetite for a variety of reasons including…

  • Illness.
  • Pain from an injury.
  • Stress.
  • Medication.

The good news is that CBD Calming Oil has been known to “jump-start” the endocannabinoid system. 

By activating certain parts of your dog's brain function, it's been known to stimulate appetite, reduce nausea, and help your dog eat.

If your senior dog has been examined by a vet and there are no serious underlying health issues, CBD Calming Oil might be the solution to helping your senior pup get the benefits he needs.

I’ve also found that a lot of older dogs are quite fussy with food, so the dog treats I’ve created using only the best CBD Calming Oil are easier for them to enjoy than the drops.

#4 – CBD Calming Oil: Easier on Senior Dogs Kidneys and Liver

As we age, our organs start to wear down. It’s a natural process of getting older.

The same thing happens to your dog.

Knowing this, it’s important that we are mindful of what we are putting into our dogs' bodies. For example, many medications can take a toll on your dog's liver and kidneys, yet as dogs get older some of them need to be on meds to manage various illnesses.

CBD Calming Oil is a great substitute when he/she isn’t feeling his/her best, and they need to rest.

Of course, ALWAYS talk with your vet before you make any adjustments to your dog’s medications. CBD Calming Oil is often a healthier option than other prescribed drugs.

#5 – CBD Calming Oil: Cancer Symptoms

Nobody wants to hear that their dog has been diagnosed with cancer. However, thanks to modern medicine, cancer treatments are more readily available than ever for our pups.

Once again, it’s important that you follow your vet’s treatment recommendations for such a serious illness. However, CBD Calming Oil has been in the spotlight when it comes to fighting against cancer related symptoms.

  • The immune system’s killer cells that may eliminate cancer cells
  • Blocking the energy production of cancer cells which kills them
  • Anti-tumor properties that are said to slow glioma cell growth

If your pup is suffering from cancer, ask your vet if CBD Calming Oil is safe to use!

Of course, CBD oil isn’t a cure for cancer. It’s vital that you follow your vet's recommended treatment plan. That being said, I want to reiterate one more time that CBD Calming Oil has been linked to several studies that promote its benefits.

If your dog is fighting for his/her life, the gift of helping your dog chill out while attending vet appointments, after surgeries, or while not feeling well at home is an amazing thing.

Some dog’s, regardless of how well-trained they are, get anxious and scared…especially when they aren’t feeling well.

My Angel Oil products might just be the key: they’re THC-Free, highest quality Full Spectrum, and made in the USA, which basically means they’re super awesome! Ask your vet if CBD oil would be beneficial to your pup and their care.

Once again I would like to stress that whilst I am a big fan of CBD Calming Oil in dogs I am fully aware of the importance of training. As mentioned earlier, I would ALWAYS suggest you start with ensuring that you have a solid foundational program in place and then use CBD in conjunction with it if you need it. If you’re in need of a safe, gentle training program, check out The Dog Calming Code.

I wish you many happy and healthy years with your pup!

Cheers,

  1. How do I get my dog to stop chewing on his feet he chews them till they’re raw. It all started with a hotspot now he is obsessed with chewing his feet

    1. Hi Deborah…the first thing you want to check is that your dog doesn’t have any allergies. If he spends time exercising in long grass then this would be an allergic reaction. After a walk it may help to rinse his feet off with water or even try soaking them for a few minutes in a Calendula flower tea…it has soothing, itch reducing qualities. Some dogs do chew their feet as a result of anxiety or attention seeking so be really careful how you respond when he does this. If you can offer him something else to take his mind off it, like a dog chew, then this could also be helpful. Best, Doggy Dan
