“But Will It Get My Dog High?” — 5 Myths About CBD for Pets That Need to Go
The pet CBD aisle is basically the Wild West right now—half science, half snake oil, and a whole lot of “my cousin’s friend’s pug tried it once…”
Let’s set the record straight. CBD isn’t a fad. It’s a legit wellness tool—when it’s pure, properly dosed, and backed by real data.
Here are the five myths we’re putting out to pasture:
1. "CBD Will Get My Dog High"
Not unless your dog moonlights in a reggae band.
CBD is non-psychoactive, which means no “stoned” side-effects. THC is the compound that causes a high—and reputable pet CBD products (like ours) are THC-free or contain only trace, non-toxic amounts well under legal limits. Translation: mellow, not messed up.
2. "It's Just for Anxious Dogs"
Sure, CBD can help stressed-out pups, but it’s also an MVP for inflammation.
Think:
- Easier movement for stiff joints
- Calmer, healthier skin
- Happier guts
- Smoother post-surgery recovery
It’s basically a chill pill + wellness boost in one dropper.
3. "If It Doesn't Work Overnight, It's a Bust"
This isn’t an instant-gratification supplement.
CBD works by building up in your dog’s system—some pups feel it on day one, others need 1–2 weeks of consistent dosing. Track changes. Stick with it. Let the science do its thing.
4. "All CBD Is the Same"
This is the most dangerous myth.
The truth? Not all CBD is created equal.
What matters:
- Source: Organically grown hemp?
- Dosing: Pet-specific or just a human product in cute packaging?
- Testing: Third-party lab results, always.
If a brand can’t show proof, skip it.
5. "It's Too Pricey for Daily Use"
Some brands price CBD like it’s bottled moonlight. We don’t.
