As many of you would know, our pets form an integral part of family life and bring lots of joy and happiness to us and our loved ones. As much as we try and give them the quality of life that they deserve whether it be through a well-balanced diet and regular exercise, life’s frantic pace affects our pets almost as much as it does us. The reality is that they are just as likely to suffer from bouts of anxiety, depression and mobility issues in old age as we are.

Having gone through this pet ownership life cycle many times with countless visits to the veterinary hospital from something as benign as a dog anxious about its visit to the groomer to arthritis in old age and a rescued poodle with parvovirus, I’ve explored and experimented with completely natural options like CBD (cannabinoid) oil as a dietary supplement over many years.

Whilst I found that clinical studies about the effects of CBD on animals or the effectiveness thereof in the treatment of pet anxiety, joint pain, depression and seizures to be few and far between, anecdotally, I like many pet owners around the world have experienced really positive results using CBD based health products.
