TOP 5 MYTHS ABOUT CBD FOR PETS, DEBUNKED

There is so much information — much of it conflicting — on the internet about CBD and pet health. Why should you learn about some of the common misconceptions? Because you deserve to know the facts about CBD supplementation for your dog or cat!

FIRST — WHAT IS CBD ISOLATE?

Our Fortify oils and all of our treat blends feature pure, isolated CBD.

To formulate them, CBD is isolated from every other hemp compound into a crystal, resulting in a pharmaceutical-grade product. Nothing except the CBD molecule remains. 

Let’s straighten out some of those myths about CBD so your family can make an informed, conscious decision about treatment. 

COMMON MYTHS ABOUT CBD FOR PETS

MYTH 1 — CBD HASN’T BEEN PROVEN BY SCIENCE TO SUPPORT ANY HEALTH CONDITIONS 

Many people report that CBD’s effects are speculative and unproved by science in treating health issues. And while it is not accurate to say that CBD can cure ailments or illnesses, CBD carries much value in supporting both common and severe pet health concerns. Today, a plethora of clinical trials exist and are still being conducted to study potential benefits of CBD in supporting a myriad of conditions. Science is keeping up!

MYTH 2 — I TRIED CBD ON MY PET FOR A WEEK WITH NO RESULTS, SO IT DOESN’T WORK

While some animals experience relief after just days of using CBD, for other animals, it can take up to three weeks to observe results. So don’t give up if you’ve been administering for less than 3 weeks, and are feeling discouraged! CBD is a cumulative supplement, and works in a snowball effect. It can take time for CBD to help kickstart a pet’s inactive Endocannabinoid System. Skipping doses or discontinuing administration prior to three weeks can affect this accumulation. 

MYTH 3 — ALL CBD IS CREATED EQUALLY

Every CBD company utilizes different practices, including methods for extraction, whether or not their products are third-party lab-tested, where they’re sourcing from, and how they’ve developed their formulations. You can always trust that Creating Brighter Days products are the highest-quality CBD pet products on market in  Canada. All of our CBD formulations and dosing protocols have been developed alongside Canadian  veterinarians, we always third-party test our products through Health Canada-approved laborartories, and we use state-of-the-art CO2 extraction that yields the cleanest CBD available. 

MYTH 4 — CBD IS ADDICTIVE

Any addictive substance effects neurons in the brain that are designed to compel us to seek and repeat a temporarily rewarding or pleasurable experience. This addiction pathway in the brain utilizes the Nucleus Accumbens, Ventral Tegmental Area, and Prefrontal Cortex. When someone is dependent on a substance, adverse bodily reactions are observable when the substance is discontinued. Scientific research on CBD, conducted by the World Health Organization, shows that it never activates the brain’s addiction pathway. To date, there has never been one case report proving abuse or reliance on CBD.

MYTH 5 — CBD CAN MAKE YOU FEEL HIGH

The CBD found in our Fortify oils and adaptogenic treats utilize pure, CBD Isolate. There is nothing except the CBD molecule in this product, which makes it very easy to dose and measure, and it’s great for most general health concerns. No THC whatsoever is contained in a CBD Isolate product, meaning that it is absolutely non-intoxicating.
