Fireworks noise and scared dogs: CBD oil as a gentle solution for relaxed holidays

For many people, August 1st and New Year's Eve are days of joy and celebration, but for our beloved canines, this time can be filled with great anxiety and uncertainty. The loud sounds of fireworks can cause stress and anxiety in dogs. Fortunately, there is a natural and gentle alternative to help our four-legged friends: CBD oil. In this blog post, we are going to look at how CBD oil can be a great option for relieving the fear of fireworks and giving dogs a relaxing holiday on days like August 1st and New Year's Eve.

Why are dogs so sensitive to fireworks noise?

Dogs have sensitive hearing and a keen perception that allows them to hear sounds inaudible to us humans. Fireworks produce loud pops and bright flashes of light that can be frightening and disorienting for dogs. The unusual and intense sensory experience often leads to anxiety, stress and panic.

How Can CBD Oil Help?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant. It interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays an important role in regulating various physiological processes, including anxiety and stress. Here are some ways CBD oil can help dogs:

Anxiety Reduction : CBD can affect receptors in the brain and decrease the release of stress hormones like cortisol. This allows dogs to react calmer and more relaxed to the loud noises of the fireworks.

Relaxation : CBD has calming properties that can help calm nerves and promote a relaxed mood.

Pain Relief : In addition to reacting with fear, some dogs may experience physical pain from the loud fireworks. CBD can have anti-inflammatory effects and reduce pain, which also helps with relaxation.

Improving Sleep: Some dogs struggle to settle down after an exciting day of fireworks noise. CBD can support sleep and give you a restful night's sleep.

CBD oil for dogs - dosage

The dosage depends on the size of your dog and the severity of the condition you are trying to treat. For example, if you have a large breed dog with severe hip problems, you should be able to choose a higher amount than a smaller breed dog.

Basically, you should always try different dosages, as there is not yet any scientific knowledge about the dosage of CBD oil for dogs. If you have a puppy showing early signs of arthritis, it is best to start with a small amount until the symptoms subside. Once the symptoms have disappeared, they can again make adjustments to the amount administered.

Starting with a low dose and increasing as needed allows you to see how your dog reacts before giving too much at once. Also, be especially careful if he is taking any medication or other supplements prescribed by the veterinarian.

Concerns about CBD oils

There are many concerns about CBD oil for dogs, some more valid than others. We address the most common concerns and help you understand why they are legitimate or not.

· Security Concerns

The main ingredient in CBD oil for dogs is a regulated substance in Switzerland. They are legal to buy and consume, and there are guidelines on how to make them.

It is important to know that CBD oils and other products marketed for pets are licensed here and the guidelines and levels are regularly checked so you can be assured of their quality or safety.

· Concerns about the THC content

The second most common concern is that CBD oil has been shown to contain trace amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana plants. This shouldn't pose a problem for products from Switzerland, as they are legally allowed to contain less than 1% THC.

· Side effects and purchase

In some circumstances, CBD can interact with certain medications or supplements your dog is taking, rendering them ineffective or causing negative side effects. Therefore, always talk to your vet about taking it beforehand. And also pay attention to high-quality CBD oils.

Does it have lab reports or certificates of analysis? These documents should show that an independent laboratory has tested the product to verify its purity and potency. If it doesn't have those documents, it's probably not of good quality.

Pay attention to how much CBD is in each serving - and how much it costs. This can be a sign that their products aren't very effective at treating symptoms and ailments because they don't contain enough CBD per dose.

Conclusion:

On days like August 1st and New Year's Eve, the safety and well-being of our dogs and pets should also be important to us. CBD oil can be a gentle and natural solution to counteract their fears of fireworks noise and give them a relaxing holiday. However, remember to consult a veterinarian when in doubt and use high-quality CBD products. With the right care, we can help our faithful companions enjoy the festive days as much as we do.
