Giving smaller doses of CBD instead of regular pet medications can lessen the side effects that may occur with larger doses of traditional medicines.

To begin shake the product well and dispense the recommended number of drops over your pet's food.

The cannabis plant contains a number of different chemicals, including CBD, phytocannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids. Humans and other mammals have specific cannabinoid receptor sites. These sites are primarily in the brain, the central nervous system and in peripheral organs. Especially immune cells. They make up what' s called the endocannabinoid system. Studies show that many cannabinoids have anti-inflammatory effects and can help with pain, tumors, seizures, muscle spasms, skin conditions, appetite stimulation, aggression, anxiety and neurological disorders.
