I started hearing about CBD oil well over a year ago and
started researching its uses. I am a bit of a cynic about new products and won’t
bring something in to the Grateful Dog Bakery until I verify it through
independent sources. What I found was that people either raved about how well
it worked or said it didn’t work at all. Further research showed me that the
best results were coming from a full spectrum molecule product with a high
concentration of CBD per dose. The more I read the more sense it made. The full
spectrum molecule is able to attach to receptors in the body and brain to
relieve pain, anxiety and a host of other problems.
Once I figured out how the product worked it was time to
start researching companies. While there are many products made specifically
for pets I settled on the Clean Remedies Company for several reasons. Their
product is grown in Oregon, organic and vegan with no use of any pesticides.
The thing that really sold me on the product was that their pet product and
human product are one in the same, simply packaged with different dosing
instructions. Their product is tested by independent labs and the results are
made public to verify it is what they say it is. Finally their staff is very
well educated and happy to answer any questions in plain English.
I take pride in the fact there is no product in my store
that I won’t give to my own dogs. Beau, our 12 year old golden retriever, has
arthritis in his hips and spine so I started giving it to him twice a day.
Ophelia, another golden, is storm phobic, so I also gave it to her for
thunderstorms. I am happy to say she seemed much calmer with the CBD oil. Beau
is more mobile, spending more time out strolling the yard than he has in the
last couple years. Finally, since I also have arthritis myself I started taking it. I can’t say I am completely pain free but I am a lot more comfortable,
especially after a long day at the baking table.
The feedback I am getting from customers is very positive.
Dogs with arthritis are more mobile, anxious dogs are calmer. One customer
giving it to her dog who was having seizures reports no seizure activity in the
3 months since the dog started taking it. Prior to that the dog was still
having 1-2 seizures a week even while on anti-seizure medication. The owner
will be talking to her vet about decreasing the medication dosage with hopes of
weaning it off entirely.
All in all CBD Oil is a product I am confident in
recommending.
