If a dog is too dependent on people, they can become incredibly anxious and distressed when their owner is away.  While it is not always known what causes separation anxiety in dogs, it can be more common in rescue or shelter dogs or in certain breeds (Labs, Shepherds, Chihuahuas, and Spaniels). It can also be set off by specific events.

These events include being left alone for the first time (this is more common with puppies), being left alone after being used to constant companionship, feeling abandoned like they are being left somewhere such as a kennel or boarding class, changing household routine and structure, or the loss of a family member or another pet.

It is crucial to recognize some of the signs, so you know if your dog is struggling with this common issue.  Some common signs of separation anxiety are incessant crying, whining, barking, howling, pacing, acting restless, scratching, or digging at doors and windows, destructive behavior, vomiting, peeing, or pooping in the house, chewing, or eating at walls, doors, cabinets, and following you around the house when you come home.

Treatment for pets with arthritis include hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, steroid injections, surgery and prescribed medications. Most vets will prescribe your dog pain killers and/or anti-inflammatories to help combat the pain and inflammation caused by arthritis. Some of the most common medications prescribed to dogs with arthritis are Metacam and Rimadyl, two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include black or bloody stools, diarrhea, increased or decreasedactivity, seizures, aggression, skin irritation, stomach ulcers,weight loss, increased water consumption, changes to urine, loss of appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain, dehydration, liver damage, kidney damage and in some cases death.

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. Studies have shown that CBD may have powerful pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects, making it a very viable option for treating the symptoms of canine arthritis. When your pet uses CBD, it interacts with their endocannabinoid system (ECS).

All mammals have this system in their bodies, and it is predominantly made up of 2 types of cannabinoid receptors (known as CB1 and CB2). These receptors are found not only in the brain, but in other places within the body and by interacting with these receptors, the beneficial effects of CBD are produced. Numerous studies on CBD have shown that the compound may help reduce a wide variety of inflammation in organs like the pancreas, lungs,brain and most importantly, the joints.

There are a few CBD products that could help your canine companion with their arthritis. If the pain level is 1-5 small dogs can take Bailey’s 300mg Tincture and larger breeds can take Bailey’s 600mg Tincture.

If the pain level is 6-10 your pet can take our AHS 500mg Pet Tincture. CBD infused dog treats in 3-5 mg can also help with the pain and inflammation caused by arthritis.

Hip dysplasia is an abnormal formation of the hip socket thatcan eventually cause crippling lameness and painful arthritis of the joints. Hip dysplasia is characterized by weakness or lameness in the hind end, limping or favoring one rear leg over another, reduced energy levels, lack of interest in play or exercise, stiff or swaying gait, “Bunny hopping” when running, difficulty getting up from a sitting or lying position, loss of muscle mass in the thigh, pain in the hip area when touched, “Clicking” sound in the hips when walking and trouble running, jumping or climbing stairs.

Treatment for hip dysplasia in pets includes exercise, joint supplements, acupuncture, laser therapy, stem cell treatment, surgery and prescribed medication. Medications used to treat hip dysplasia include Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs).

While this class of pharmaceuticals is excellent for reducing painful inflammation in the hips they also contain negative side effects that include vomiting, loss of appetite, depression, diarrhea, stomach ulcers, liver failure, kidney failure, and even death can occur in certain cases.

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. CBD works by interacting with your dog’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) which is made up of specialized receptors throughout the nervous system and body.

CBD helps address imbalances throughout the immune system and organs to prevent and alleviate chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, altered sleep patterns, digestive problems, and more. Since hip dysplasia is an inflammatory condition, many vets prescribe NSAIDs to their patients. However, CBD has shown to be a safer, more natural alternative.

CBD is a powerful, natural anti-inflammatory that may help with hip dysplasia without the harmful side effects that come with prescribed medications. CBD interacts with receptors in the brain to influence the way your dog processes pain signals. Studies regarding CBD and chronic pain have proven so effective, some researchers consider it a whole new class of pain reliever.

Research shows that CBD may help alleviate an array of symptoms in aging pets such as inflammation, anxiety, and nausea. If your dog suffers from joint pain, CBD may help to reduce inflammation everywhere in the body. The endocannabinoid receptors target areas in the body experiencing pain due to inflammation, damaged nerves, and injury.

CBD has shown the ability to support normal cellular function and promote healthy aging through mitochondrial support.In addition, CBD is currently being studied for its apparent antipsychotic, anti-nausea, anticonvulsant, and anti-inflammatory benefits. The anti-inflammatory benefits may offer the most benefit to the brain and aging in pets.Many Senior pets suffer from different kinds of situational and behavioral anxiety. CBD targets the endocannabinoid system to help the body balance emotions.

The endocannabinoid system is the same in all mammals. It’s comprised of spaced-out receptors that communicate to keep the body balanced. CBD works to initiate chemical transmissions between receptors that help the dog feel calm in times of stress.

One of the powerful benefits of CBD is its ability to stimulate appetite and for senior dogs who are battling illness, this is important. Food and nutrients are essential for a healthy aging dog, as they need both to gain strength to fight illness, even when the illness may cause nausea.

If your dog can’t eat, they’ll grow weak and become even more vulnerable to the illness they’re battling. CBD triggers the sensation of hunger, which helps with nausea or a general weariness. By keeping their food down, dogs can absorb nutrients that keep their bodies strong and healthy.

Our AHS 500mg Pet Tincture was formulated alongside a veterinarian and can be taken with CBD infused Pet Treats to help combat the symptoms of aging in your canine companion.
