ARE CBD PRODUCTS GOOD FOR DOGS WITH ANXIETY?

Dogs who experience severe separation anxiety are often depressed or anxious when their guardians leave them alone and it may result in disruptive and destructive behaviors such as drooling, urinating, barking, chewing on objects and pacing. People give CBD dog treats to their pets during high-stress situations (i.e. home alone, thunderstorms or fireworks) to help them relax and get through the particular stressor.
