Hemp Oil For Dogs

Manufactured by Pet Releaf

Pet Releaf has launched 2 new products for dogs: a hemp oil at a 750-mg strength for extra-large and large dogs and another at 500 mg for large dogs, both containing cannabidiol (CBD) and organic coconut oil. Herbicide- and pesticide-free, the oils are designed to help support normal inflammatory response and help alleviate joint discomfort and situational stress and promote calmness and overall well-being. One of the main adverse events of CBD in dogs is drowsiness, which should wear off within 9 hours after the animal’s body processes it, according to the company’s website. Pet Releaf advises checking with a veterinarian if a CBD supplement is added to a dog’s daily routine.
