Blunt Talk: Kyoto For Your Fido

Marijuana, the miracle plant. Whether you are consuming the plant to get high, using the plant to treat an ailment, or creating merchandise with hemp, we almost all use a little Mary Jane in our day-to-day lives. Unfortunately, up until recently, there was one major aspect of our lives that had been overlooked: our pets. Dogs specifically benefit from the use of CBD derived from the marijuana plant. How? It reduces pain, anxiety, seizures, inflammation, and it is known to improve skin and coat health. That’s a good, shiny boi.

Thankfully, in 2021, pet lovers have easy access to a variety of CBD products for their pets.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring component found in the flower of the marijuana plant. CBD has over a hundred phytocannabinoids, which endow the compound with holistic and therapeutic properties. CBD, when separated from the psychoactive portion of the plant (THC), provides all of the health benefits of marijuana without the high typically associated with the plant.

Seventy-two percent of dogs suffer from anxiety at some point in their lives. Anxiety is displayed in dogs by unexplained barking or howling, excessive panting, shivering, cowering behavior, destructive behavior, aggression, and even self-harm. Our pets have no other way to communicate their discomfort, much like a baby crying or scratching themselves. When introduced to the body, CBD helps curb your companion’s anxiety by changing the brain’s receptor response to serotonin. One single dose of CBD is sure to lower your dog’s anxiety without the worry of intense side effects from pharmaceuticals.

Anxiety isn’t the only health issue CBD can help treat. The miracle compound has had undeniable success in treating chronic pain, diabetes, irritable bowel, cancer, and more. CBD has been known to slow the growth of cancer cells all while assisting in curbing nausea associated with typical cancer treatments.

CBD has also had success in treating and cutting back the intensity of epilepsy in dogs. CBD can reduce not only the severity of epileptic episodes but it can reduce the frequency of the episodes as well. If your poor pup is having an epileptic episode, CBD oil can help bring the episode to an end all while providing relief and comfort during their recovery. Pet owners all across the country have found more success in treating their dog’s chronic seizures with CBD alongside their vet recommended medications then without.

Say hello to Gregory Hatt. He is a marijuana enthusiast and Colorado resident. Gregory has an extensive background in marijuana and has been present in the industry for about 15 years and counting. Gregory took the time to sit down with us to give us a true insight on his experience with CBD and how it aided his beautiful Golden Retriever, Cali.

“I started using CBD before it even got big. I’m talking about when a small bottle of CBD tincture was 250 bucks, when it was hard to get. I got my first tincture from Charlotte’s Web CBD. We spent thousands of dollars on CBD treating Cali, doing everything we could do for her.” Unfortunately, Gregory’s beloved pet had cancer and was fighting hard for her life. Soon after Cali also suffered from a torn ACL and had a very hard time walking. “We were trying to fight the cancer and we were trying to provide some comfort for her leg. Before her leg would shake, and she couldn’t run around the beach like she used to.”

“What was great,” Hatt said, “was once we started using the CBD we saw an immediate improvement. Her leg wouldn’t shake, she had more energy, and she was a lot more mobile. It made her remaining days a lot more happy, and she could go back to doing some of the things she really loved.” He chuckled to himself and said, “I spent a small fortune to help her and it was worth every penny because it improved her quality of life. We definitely enjoyed giving that to her.”

Though Cali had since passed, Gregory remains thankful for the peace and comfort he was able to give Cali through the end.
