Is CBD Right For Your Dog?
Can CBD Help Our Canine Companions? Scientists have confirmed that every animal, with the exception of insects, has an endocannabinoid system within them that performs a regulatory role in their bodies. This system is crucial to maintaining the health of the body and keeping it in homeostasis, or a stable internal environment. This system is as important in humans as it is for our pets.
When this system and its receptors become damaged, it’s possible to use phytocannabinoids, specifically cannabidiol (CBD) to treat medical problems in a natural, non-toxic way.
Here we’ll examine ways in which CBD can be used as a treatment for dogs, ailments it can treat, and scientific proof that it is both safe and effective.

WHAT IS CBD?
CBD is one of at least 113 different phytocannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Unlike the THC compound, known for its psychoactive effects and its possible harmful side effects in pets, CBD has all the benefits and none of the interference with psychological functions.
CBD makes up about 40% of the cannabis plant extract and has been proven to be effective in an array of medical applications in several species.
HOW CAN CBD HELP MY PET?
Specific to dogs, the compound can provide relief from pain, inflammation, health problems associated with cancer, and can be used to help make end-of-life diseases more comfortable. Dogs with arthritis, late-state cancer, inoperable tumors may benefit from CBD as an alternative for expensive veterinary pain medications like Rimadyl, which as been found to cause some serious side effects like liver and kidney damage.
Dogs with anxiety issues, including those who become skittish during thunderstorms, traveling in cars, when separated from their owners, in social situations, and even during visits to the vet, can also benefit from the calming effects of CBD.
While it is unlikely your veterinarian will be prescribing CBD as it is not a commonly accepted treatment yet, it is possible to legally purchase treats laced with CBD to treat your dog at home.

CLAIMS THAT SUPPORT CBD USE IN PETS
Medical applications for marijuana is a hot topic both in humans and in veterinary use, and research studies are gaining steam with confirming their applications. As cannabis, and therefore its derivative CBD are still classified as Schedule I drugs, there continues to be some fear around conducting research studies.
That said, evidence continues to emerge that supports medical marijuana for treatment in humans and dogs. Knowing that animals and humans share 70% of their biological homology and that cannabis is a well-researched treatment in humans, we have a strong basis to believe it could be equally effective in animals.
Additionally, the American Veterinary Medical Association shows support through published testimonials of pet owners who used cannabis and CBD to improve the quality of life of animals who were suffering from pain and ability issues.

Additionally, the American Veterinary Medical Association shows support through published testimonials of pet owners who used cannabis and CBD to improve the quality of life of animals who were suffering from pain and ability issues.
There are a number of additional studies that show benefits with skin disorders, epilepsy and seizures, and osteoarthritis. These studies, combined with anecdotal evidence from pet owners who reported into an AHVMA survey endorsing the benefits of CBD-laced treats make a compelling case for the safety and efficacy of CBD as a treatment for our pets.
Simply put, CBD offers a safe, natural, and effective treatment to pet owners to help to manage their dog’s pain, anxiety, and to extend their lives while offering a good quality of life without suffering.

ABOUT Particular Paws
I had to say goodbye to my best friend, a beautiful 120 pound Akita, Cleopatra who was only 13 when arthritis stole her from me. An old injury I thought she had recovered from developed into a painful, life-limiting condition that ruined her quality of life.
After Cleo passed away, I kept wondering if there was more I could have done to keep her strong and healthy longer. Was there something I could have done? The guilt and questions just ate at me.
Then it hit me -- as a lifelong fitness buff, I knew how taking the right supplements made all the difference in the world in my own health. What if there were something that could have made a difference for Cleopatra, not only in how long she lived but in her quality of life? What if the right supplements could have kept her by my side for years longer, and given her more happy and pain free years?
My new doggy, Theodore inspires me to follow my dream of honoring Cleo by producing over 20 additional, natural, holistic products and supplements to help upgrade the quality of life and well-being for all our furry loved ones.
I am convinced Cleopatra passed away too young and our dogs should live 15 years or more! That’s why I believe in providing for our pets the way we provide for ourselves and I have made it my mission to create products to help pets live longer and enhance their quality of life.
Watching Cleo suffer from arthritis was the most painful experience in my life, it almost felt like it was happening to me.
The first product I created was the Particular Paws Advanced Joint and Hip Supplement. This chewable, drug-free, natural formula contains Glucosamine, MSM, Chondroitin, Hyaluronic Acid, Omega 3 & Omega 6 has a taste and smell dogs love! But most important, it helps ease the pain from arthritis and joint issues and is safe to give to young dogs as a preventative measure.
I am also passionate about helping rescue dogs and the health struggles they go through, so I created The Particular Paws Dog Rescue Kit – containing our 10 best selling products and partnered with rescue groups around the country to help distribute them. When a shelter dogs are adopted, they go home with Rescue Kits to help ease the transition into their new home.
I wish I had created Particular Paws when Cleo was just a puppy. She would have lived a much longer, healthier life.

What people and paws are saying about us...
Probiotic Powder
"I have a collie with an extremely sensitive stomach. About twice a month or so, he would find something out in the grass he's not suppose to get into, and he would end up having diarrhea for a couple days, sometimes a week. Since we started giving him this supplement, we've been squirt free for almost 3 months straight now. Highly recommend!!"

Joint Supplement Powder
"I have an 8 yr. Dachshund rescue, who was given up because he had back issues as a puppy. So, I take everything that goes in to his body very seriously. Other products were too potent, but Sidney has stabilized now since adding your formula to his diet. Since he is a dachshund, joint health is a priority for him and me. My Sid is now a changed dog and has been enjoying your Joint Supplement Powder mixed with his lunchtime snack of yogurt with a biscuit. Thank you Particular Paws!"

Dog Calming Aid
"Don't get me wrong, I love my pit bull but there were times when I was at my wits end due to the anxiety that separation issues caused. Every time I would leave the house, my dog would act out and tear things up due to the anxiety that he felt. Buying a bottle of the Particular Paws dog calming aid was the best thing I could have done. It was a night and day difference when introducing these pills into their diet."

Tear Stain Remover
"This product really works! I have a Boston terrier and his poor baby eyes are always watery so they leave tear stains. I wanted something gentle because I definitely do not want to irritate his eyes even more. This product was great. It says you can use daily, but I use it every 3 or 4 days and it has helped him a lot and doesn't seem to bother him one bit. I would recommend to anyone with a dog with tearing eye problems."
