CBD, or cannabidiol, is a cannabis compound that has been found to provide a wide range of potential health benefits for humans. CBD has no psychoactive elements and may improve your sleep, relax your body, and help with your overall health and well-being. Recent studies suggest that these benefits may extend to pets as well. From supporting a better mood to assisting in pain management, CBD offers a vast array of potential benefits for all kinds of animals<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We recently spoke with Julianna Carella, the founder, and CEO of <\/span>Treatibles<\/span>, to learn more about CBD and its potential effect on pets. Treatibles was established in 2013 and became the first company to create phytocannabinoid-rich, hemp-oil-infused <\/span>treats for pets<\/span><\/a>. The brand continues to thrive today thanks to its commitment to transparency and educating customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

What do pet owners need to know about CBD?<\/span><\/h2>\n

As many states have begun legalizing the use of medical cannabis, many people have become confused about medical cannabis and hemp, their benefits, and their safety. While the two are related, they come with distinctly different effects in both humans and animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough cannabis and hemp are from the same plant genus, <\/span>Cannabaceae<\/span><\/i>, they are two different plants,\u201d says Carella. \u201cThey do produce many of the same beneficial phytocannabinoids, but there is a very important distinction\u2014hemp-derived phytocannabinoids do not include psychoactive compounds and do not cause the high associated with cannabis.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, hemp is classified as containing less than 0.3 percent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is the psychoactive component that exists in medical cannabis. All animals (including humans) have naturally occurring THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids in their bodies. Endocannabinoid systems use these compounds to maintain various physiological, immunological, and neurological components. If the endocannabinoid system detects deficiencies in cannabinoid production, the body turns to phytocannabinoids, which are cannabinoid compounds found in plants, to rebalance the system. For that reason, naturally occurring phytocannabinoids become important to the health of all animals. Hemp-based phytocannabinoids, thankfully, are legal in all 50 states.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, according to Carella, not all PCR- (phytocannabinoid-rich) infused products derived from hemp are created equal. Much of the quality and potential effects come down to sourcing, extraction methods, and the testing of raw materials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carella says, \u201cFor example, at Treatibles our PCR oil is extracted from whole-plant medicinal-grade hemp grown in the USA. We utilize a CO2 extraction method to ensure the purest, most effective oil. In addition to several therapeutic phytocannabinoids, terpenes are included, creating what is known as the entourage effect, providing a full spectrum of benefits for pets.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Treatibles also tests all of its products via third-party labs through every stage of production. These third-party labs also test for the presence of heavy metals and bio-contaminants. Treatibles is the only brand in the market of PCR for pets that measures the exact milligrams that go into every chew, gel capsule, and dropper. Most importantly, Treatibles maintains full transparency about its products. The company shares all of its lab test results with its customers via its website.<\/span><\/p>\n
