CBD for Pets
We all want the best for our furry friends—that’s why so many pet owners turn to CBD. Many report that CBD helps their pets move more comfortably, sleep more soundly, feel calmer, and simply enjoy a better quality of life. That’s exactly why we created Get ‘Em JosieBear—because we’ve seen the benefits firsthand with our beloved lab retriever, Josie Bear.
Why Choose CBD for Pets?
Just like humans, pets have an Endocannabinoid System (ECS) that helps regulate stress and maintain balance (homeostasis) within the body. This intricate network of receptors, enzymes, and cannabinoids helps the body adapt to physical and emotional stress by supporting healthy cellular communication.
Typically, the body produces its own cannabinoids (called endocannabinoids) when it experiences stress. However, after prolonged periods of discomfort or anxiety, the ECS might not function optimally. That’s when supplementing with plant-based cannabinoids—like those found in hemp—can make a real difference.
Hemp Cannabinoids & Your Pet’s Well-Being
Scientists have identified over 100 cannabinoids in hemp plants, many of which show exciting potential for supporting health and wellness. These are the key cannabinoids featured in our premium pet formulas:
CBD (Cannabidiol)
CBD is the most well-known hemp cannabinoid. It doesn’t cause a high and may help modulate how cells communicate by interacting with cannabinoid receptors. Pet owners have used CBD to support joint health, ease inflammation, promote relaxation, and encourage deeper sleep.
CBG (Cannabigerol)
CBG is known as the “mother cannabinoid” because it’s the precursor to other cannabinoids. Though typically found in young hemp plants, some cultivars are specially bred for higher CBG content. It may offer additional wellness benefits—something we’re proud to include in our blends.
CBC (Cannabichromene)
Another non-psychoactive cannabinoid, CBC may also support your pet’s wellness. Research is still emerging, but early findings suggest potential in mood support, inflammation relief, and more.
Hemp vs. Marijuana for Pets
Hemp is defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC—the compound responsible for psychoactive effects. This distinction is critical for pets: CBD products derived from hemp won’t cause a “high” and are far safer for their sensitive systems. Marijuana-derived CBD, on the other hand, may contain higher THC levels and should never be given to pets due to potential toxicity.
