CBD Oil for Seizures in Dogs

Cannabidiol or CBD oil for seizures first came into use with a little girl named Charlotte Figi. She was suffering severe seizures when she was just three months old. By the time she was five years old, this was up to about 300 seizures a week. And on a CBD regiment, she was able to return to normal life and bring down the incidents to about 2-3 times a month. This journey is extensively covered in a CNN documentary by Sanjay Gupta.

Set Up a CBD Oil Dosing Plan

The cannabis plant where CBD oil is extracted has the same superpower to do the same for dogs. There are two options here on how to manage seizures in your pet. One is a three times daily edible or dog treat infused with CBD. We recommend that this be done in conjunction to an oil or tincture. So, in the event the dog is in an active seizure you can administer the CBD oil for seizures sublingually.

The other option is to go just straight oil or tincture all the time. The issue that we have found with this straight oil method is, most dogs run as soon as they know you will be giving them the ill-tasting tinctures. And picky eaters will just refuse to eat their food even more. For this reason, we suggest it would be a good idea to mix it up. Dog treats infused with CBD oil will be much easier to give, just like giving any other treat. Your pet won’t even notice the difference. And, this can easily be included as a daily maintenance.

Hence, what this means for us pet parents is, less of a struggle and a daily fight with your pet to administer his dose. God only knows we have all been there before! The eating around a pill pocket, the eating all around it, and the running and hiding. With a dog treat infused with the oil, it becomes a pleasurable experience for all involved.

Most importantly stick to your chosen schedule and consistency is key.

Studies

According to Ian Miller, MD of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, “convulsive seizures decreased by 46% in children taking 20 mg/kg/day and 49% for children taking 10 mg/kg/day of cannabidiol, compared with 27% for placebo… The children in this study had already tried an average of four epilepsy drugs with no success and at the time were taking an average of three additional drugs, so to have this measure of success with cannabidiol is a major victory,” 1

According to the Journal of Epilepsy Research, “CBD was found to be superior to placebo in reducing the frequency of convulsive (tonic-clonic, tonic, clonic, and atonic) seizures in patients with Dravet syndrome, and the frequency of drop seizures in patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. For the first time, there is now class 1 evidence that adjunctive use of CBD improves seizure control in patients with specific epilepsy syndromes.” 2

How Does CBD Oil for Seizures Work?

All living beings with the exclusion of insects have an endocannabinoid system. This system is a primary regulatory system that keeps our bodies in functional balance. Our bodies naturally produce its own endocannabinoids. And these receptors are like docking stations found throughout our bodies like the brain, nervous system, skin, gastrointestinal system, bones, etc. Thus, it is widespread throughout our bodies. Dogs are no exception. As a result, the CBD’s from the cannabis plant attach to these receptors found throughout the body to bring them into balance.

An animal recovering from a torn ACL, or other surgery can benefit from a CBD treatment. Since it is known to help promote a restful sleep and decreased stress. Or better mobility from CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties and pain management for arthritis in dogs. The benefits of CBD are far and wide.

Did you know there are more than 100+ beneficial cannabinoids in the cannabis plant? They all have a different function that aids in different aspects of bringing all living beings into homeostasis.

What is CBD? What are the CBD Effects?

What is CBD? CBD is short for cannabidiol. It is a naturally occurring compound in the cannabis plant. There are over 100+ cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. It has been reported to have therapeutic benefits. CBD is derived from the hemp plant is is extracted from its leaves and flowers. This oil has been reported to have very positive effects in interacting with living beings with an endocannabinoid system. This system is in charge of balancing our bodies and putting it in a state of homeostasis.

This ECS system and the cannabinoids help regulate our moods, stress, pain sensors, bone health, appetite levels, gastrointestinal health, even healthy skin. This ECS system is found through out our bodies. Think of each of the organs down to the skin, having its own docking station full of receptors that the endocannabinoid system regulates. These cannabinoids attach themselves to these docking stations to give them a balancing charge. Our bodies naturally produce cannabinoids, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t receive an outside boost from the oils extracted from the cannabis plant. And this goes the same for your pet. We all have an endocannabinoid system, except for insects.

The CB’s or cannabinoids all have their own specific functions and what they do to help our bodies, like like worker bees with specific jobs. Click on this infographic explaining the CBD Oil Effects and how the various cannabinoids target in the body.

How to Buy CBD Oil?

Now that you have a better understanding of what CBD is and how it works in conjunction to our bodies, you may be wondering: How do I choose the right CBD for myself or for my pet?

We suggest following these guidelines. It won’t matter if the oil is for yourself or your pet. These tips will help you to choose the safest and best product for you both.

Do not price shop. Not all CBD is created equal. Don’t let other competitors fool you with their rock bottom prices. These are products that utilize unchecked foreign regulations for safety and compliance. US manufacturers have complete license and certification packets. Products are manufactured in FDA inspected facilities. Third party lab results are checked for potency, solvents, heavy metals, mycotoxins, pesticides, and a full terpene profile. You will be paying for quality.

Your Brand

When you find a brand that you like, stick with them. AFTER you have tried other brands. That manufacturer may have a mother plant whose terpene profile works better for you or your pet. Again– NOT all CBD is created equal. This time it is due to mother nature. She creates individual plants just as individual as you and I are. No two people are genetically alike except for twins. Plants are the same way. We suggest trying different brands to see how one brand works compared to another. Once you have done your own due diligence, then stick to your preferred brand.Don’t be afraid to ask the manufacturer questions directly about the safety of their manufacturing.

Here’s an example: Bark Avenue CBD dog treats are manufactured in an SQF3 facility. This is the highest food safety rating you can get as a supplier in the food industry. These are food safety systems based on HACCP principles that manage food safety risks and prevent contamination. Our oil comes for a vertically integrated manufacturer. Meaning, they are ones who do seed to sale.

What is seed to sale?

This means the CBD oil manufacturer grows, harvests, extracts, clones, and even tests all under one roof. No outsourcing. For instance, I am an extractor but I buy from several farmers to extract my oil, then I send it out to a lab to do testing. Not only is there a blind spot in the way you trust that your hemp farmer is doing things up to standard, despite all certifications; but one also doesn’t know if the product handling and testing in a lab was proper. Let’s face it, the less people handling things outside of your control, the less mistakes.

Bark Avenue understands this. And this is why we will be your dog food advisor for CBD treats, even if it’s not our own. Did you know that dosing is the most important piece of information to know for success in your pet’s health? Now you know.

CBD Oil Benefits

Listed above is a CBD oil benefits list of the major cannabinoids that will help explain the benefits to any living thing with an endocannabinoid system.

Fun fact 1: All animals with the exception of insects have some form of internal cannabinoid system.

What’s an ECS system?

What is an endocannabinoid system (ECS)? It is a network of receptors that exist in the body that was discovered in the 90’s by researchers. CBD oil effects include regulating mood, appetite, pain, stress, inflammation and anxiety among other things. The ECS manages complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and all of the body’s organs.

Dogs just like us have similar ECS systems like humans and this is why pharmaceutical companies often use them as test subjects. This handy guide will help explain what CBD can do for your beloved pet. Keep in mind that the THC components in this guide are controversial for animal use.

THC vs Hemp

There will be two types of product that can fall under the THC classification. For our peanut butter dog treats recipe, we use an industrial hemp derived CBD oil. This is where the THC or psychoactive content is .03% or less per dry weight. In short, it is high in CBD but with trace amounts of THC. This does not cause any psychoactive effects on the animal. This type of oil is also known as a full spectrum oil. It has all the benefits of the whole plant known as the “Entourage Effect”, minus the high. For the most part our tests register around half of the .03% threshold.

The second type of product you can buy that is .03% greater in THC, will be found in dispensaries. You cannot purchase this type of product online or in stores other than licensed dispensaries. We caution this usage and highly recommend veterinary advice when treating an animal where there are intoxicating effects involved. We would cautiously recommend this, except for animals that are perhaps at the end of life care, and comfort is the main goal. Again, consult your vet.

Fun fact 2: Did you know pigs have the most similar endocannabinoid system to humans?

What are cannabinoids?

What are cannabinoids or CBD’s? First, this is one word that will always be part of anyone who wishes to learn more about any form of cannabis usage. Secondly, they are chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant that interact with the ECS system that puts a physical body in homeostasis or in balance.

At present, science has discovered that there are about 113 cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. We have covered the major CBD oil benefits list for the major cannabinoids.

Tools you will need: Digital scale that is set to grams, 5 ml + 1 ml plastic syringe, small round cookie cutter, mixing bowl with dough hook attachment, sheet pan with parchment paper, and a rolling pin.

For the peanut butter, buy an all-natural peanut butter that has no Xylitol sweetener. This can be poisonous to your pet and can cause seizures and liver failure.

400 g              Wheat Flour                        

125 g              Oats

3.25 ml CBD Oil (500 mg 1 oz bottle) or 6.5 ml (500 mg 2 oz. bottle)    

7 g                Salt                                                    

   Procedure:                               

  1. Put water, peanut butter, honey and salt in microwave proof bowl. Set on 1-2 minutes on high or until warm. Whisk to blend together. Add the CBD Oil and whisk again well to homogenize.
  2. Mix the what flour and the oats together and pour into mixing bowl that is fitted with a dough hook attachment.
  3. Add the wet to the dry until a ball forms.
  4. Preheat oven to 325*F
  5. Wrap and chill dough at least one hour to relax the dough.
  6. Lightly put the dough on a floured surface. Roll to about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Make sure that the cookie cutter you use will yield an 18 g cookie. You may need to do a couple test cuts to check the weight.
  8. Place cookies on parchment lined sheet pans and bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
  9. Once cookies have fully cooled, store in an airtight container. You can also store this in the fridge for a longer shelf life.

Pro tip: You can leave the cookies in the oven overnight to continue the drying process as the oven starts to cool off. This will give you a longer shelf life.

CBD Oil Buying Basics for 2020

Since our initial launch in 2016, cannabidiol (CBD) dog treats,  CBD oil for dogs, has gone through numerous significant transformations. The oil has improved dramatically from its purification process. CBD oil manufacturers are producing cleaner and more varied forms of CBD through advanced extraction technology.

As the industry matures, there is a need to address the growing questions and concerns of increasingly sophisticated consumers.  Right now, consumers are seeing “full spectrum”, “broad spectrum” and “CBD isolate”. What does this all mean? Here’s a quick breakdown of the various types of oil presently on the market.

What are the types and differences?

What is Full Spectrum CBD Oil? Full spectrum CBD oil is the extraction of oil from the entire plant along with all its 100+ other naturally occurring cannabinoid profiles.  This includes the famous tetrahydrocannabidiol or THC. THC is the most famous of all the cannabinoids due to its well known psychoactive effects. Therefore, the next follow up question would be…Is it legal? The answer is yes. In 2018 the Farm Bill was passed legalizing CBD full spectrum products if the product contain less than .03 percent THC per dry weight. This is why you can buy CBD online.

Will your dog get high? The short answer is, NO. There is not enough THC content in the industrial hemp plant to cause any psychoactive effects.

What is Broad Spectrum CBD Oil? Broad Spectrum oil contains all the same cannabinoid whole plant profile as full spectrum, minus the THC. This type of oil is a bit more costly than the full spectrum version since it uses newer technology.

What is CBD Isolate? This is a much more refined process where all the terpene and cannabinoid profiles are removed with the exception of CBD. It is the newest technology and is the most costly of the three. Typically mints, tablets and powders would fall into this category. Meanwhile, some people report not having the same effects as when a full spectrum oil is used.

One Caveat

The cannabis plant is part of nature, and nature itself is known to produce a vast array of variations and this plant is not exempt. Despite genetic manipulation, each mother plant that is selected by the harvester/ grower/ and extraction specialist who views this is their “special recipe” of cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and why they believe this is “the best” plant recipe.  No two are alike. This is why when you purchase oil or dog treats with CDB oil oil, it will differ from one vendor to another, and the effects are not all the same. Some work better on your pet than others. Therefore, think of it as Advil working better on you as a fever reducer, versus Tylenol which perhaps works better for you to rid a headache. Both work, but one works better than the other for different ailments, or perhaps one just works better period.

Which CBD is better?

There really is no cut and dry answer to this, much like Tylenol versus Advil. So, it really boils down to the pet owner’s preference and the pet’s needs. And lastly, how well it works to mitigate your pet’s condition.

Nature is a very powerful healer. We at Bark Avenue Hemp Treats believe in using a full spectrum or broad spectrum CBD oil for your pet. Our infused dog treats create an “Entourage Effect” which is a beneficial domino effect when all the cannabinoid and terepene profiles are combined like nature intended. CBD isolate does not have this and we believe henceforth that it full spectrum delivers the best overall healing benefits.

Understandably, some pet owners are wary about giving any amount of THC to their pets, even such a trace amount. Or perhaps, the production process for oil extractors may not be reliable that their THC levels remain within the low legal threshold. Hence, this is where third party test results come in, so do not hesitate to ask for the third party test results to ensure that the trace amounts are truly trace amounts.

What Does the Future of CBD Hold?

We are predicting all this new technology will create more designer CBD strains. In the future there will be with higher levels of CBG’s and CBN’s, etc. Watch for a follow up article on this subject. So, rest assured rest assured as the technology grows and the market matures, along with more innovative extraction technology, there will be more variations and varieties of dog treats with CBD oil on the market, just like dog breeds!

How Much CBD Oil Should I Give My Dog

Several people these days have found that cannabidiol, abbreviated as CBD holds impressive potential for their health. The popularity of CBD can be estimated from the fact that the consumer sales of CBD are expected to reach around 1.8 billion U.S. dollars by 2022. But, is it beneficial for our canine friends too? How much CBD oil should I give my dog? Well, some recent researches definitely suggest so. Many dogs with mammary tumors, heart murmurs and arthritis have been successfully managed with the help of CBD oil.

The CBD market is booming and today, it is available in the form of topical-sprays, oral sprays and even dog treats. While you may want to try it immediately with your furry friend, it’s important to know the right way of giving it. Here’s what you should know, if you are giving CBD oil to your dog for the first time.

What is CBD?

Before you start to look into CBD for your dog/dogs, it is important to understand what it is and from where it is derived.

CBD or Cannabidiol is a Cannabinoid or Cannabis compound derived from cannabis plant. It is emerging as a promising therapy with significant health benefits.  While, humans have been using CBD for quite some time now, pet owners are a little wary of giving it to their dogs or Flemish Giant rabbits. But, some researches confirm that the absence of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) makes pure CBD safe for even pets to consume. Knowing how much CBD oil to give my dog, along with understanding your pet is the key to successful results.

Is CBD oil addictive?

Marijuana contains THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which leads to a type of euphoric or hazy mindset when ingested or smoked. Cannabis plant on the other hand contains only insignificant traces of THC. Also, in medicinal CBD, THC is fully removed, which makes pure CBD absolutely safe and non-addictive. So, based on its chemistry, it can be said that the CBD oil is not addictive. 100% pure cannabidiol does not produce any physical withdrawal symptoms; hence it is not physically addictive.

How does CBD oil work?

Endocannabinoid system, which is an interconnected chain of receptors, is found in the nervous system, brain, glands and other organs. This endocannabinoid system acts as body’s command centre for health and healing. All mammals, including – humans and dogs rely on endocannabinoid system to regulate the body’s immune response. CBD oil works by interacting with these receptors to act as a neuroprotective agent. It also helps regulate body’s immune response to promote good health and healing.

How Much CBD Oil Should I Give My Dog?

This will largely depend on the age, condition and weight of your pet. Most importantly, you understanding your pet best. For instance, seniors that are showing signs of arthritis in dogs, but otherwise is in good health. We suggest to start with 1-2 mg of CBD per 10 pounds of dog, three times daily for a week. This begins to build up the levels in their system. If you notice he is feeling better, then you can give him a twice daily dosing session. If he is not doing as well as before, then you can go back to a three times daily routine. It is all a trial and error. This is why knowing your pet best is the key to finding the sweet spot for your pet.

As more and more researches have come out in favor of CBD, the veterinarians have finally agreed on some of the most basic uses of CBD oil. Even the FDA has approved a drug derived from CBD recently.

For pets, CBD is available in the form of pills, in liquid form as well infused in treats. While, treats infused with CBD may sound completely harmless, it is still good to consider the recommended dosages and recognize the possible side effects associated with CBD. Side effects associated with CBD are very rare but they still have been reported. Some warning signs include – disorientation, vomiting, drowsiness or excitement after ingesting CBD. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is always good to consult your trusted vet.

Consult your vet

Even if you live in one of those areas where CBD is legal, it is always a good idea to consult your vet before administering it to your pet. While your vet won’t himself suggest it, he/she would definitely be happy to answer all your doubts and queries related to it. A holistic vet can also help you find answer to your queries.

Things to keep in mind when buying CBD

Although 100% pure CBD oil is said to be absolutely safe for pets, you should always be careful when buying CBD. Make sure the company you are buying CBD from is able to provide Certificate of Analysis, or COA. This way you will have peace of mind that the CBD product you are using is free of THC and contaminants, such as – heavy metals and fungicides. If a company refuses to provide you Certificate of Analysis, it should be seen as a red flag.

Which conditions can CBD oil be beneficial for?

CBD oil can be helpful in a multitude of health conditions in dogs, like:

  • CBD can help the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
  • help the symptoms of Seizures and Epilepsy.
  • CBD can help ease the pain and signs of arthritis in dogs
  • CBD is used to alleviate nausea.
  • used to aid comfort for dogs with cancer. According to some recent studies, CBD stops the growth of cancer cells.
  • CBD can be used to mitigate hot spots and other skin and coat conditions.
  • CBD is used to calm gastrointestinal issues

Although, CBD oil is beneficial in many health conditions, it’s important to remember that CBD oil isn’t a cure for the health conditions, it just alleviates their symptoms.

Wrap Up

Nothing can be more disheartening than seeing our furry friend not enjoying their life to the fullest. Sometimes, despite trying our best, they will still struggle with their health issues. Fortunately, CBD can help your pets through those issues, giving them the happy life they deserve. So, talk to your holistic vet today about the benefits of CBD oil for your pet and give your pet the happy and healthy life he/she deserves.

Tame Your Dog Fireworks Anxiety

You will want to tame your dog fireworks anxiety with 4th of July around the corner. Many of our furry friends do not see the excitement and grandeur of fireworks the way we see it.  Instead, they cower in fear and imagine Armageddon happening all round us. It is totally natural for dogs to be afraid of loud noises. It triggers the nervous system with a flight mode which causes a lot of stress and anxiety. We as pet parents do not like to see our pets suffer in this state of anxiety. We often ask ourselves how we can help our pets and what to give your dog for fireworks anxiety.

These top 4 tips should help ease some of the dog fireworks anxiety.

Provide a Safe Spot

Whether it’s their crate, under your bed, in a closet, under your home office desk, it’s good idea for your pet to have a place where they feel safe relaxing or hiding. Dogs are hibernating animals by nature. So it should be a natural place for them to be at ease and be able to seek refuge. Keep in mind, if they are not used to a crate or a spot that causes them more anxiety, this should be avoided.

Ambient White Noise

Playing classical music or other calming “white noise” will work to drown out the sounds of the fireworks. And playing the music loud enough to effectively drown the noise out.

An Alternative Temporary Living Arrangement

Another option: take them to a friend or relative’s home that your pet is familiar with, that won’t have these loud fireworks displays. Don’t forget to give them something your dog is used to having at home like his bed or favorite toys.

CBD Oil Benefits for Dogs

CBD is one of the dozens of cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. It is non-psychoactive so it makes it a gentler alternative in seeking relief from inflammation, pain, anxiety, seizures, spasms and other chronic ailments. So, what are some of the CBD oil benefits for dogs?

According to  The Haddassah Medical School and Hebrew University of Jerusalem, they compared the effectiveness of purified CBD oil (isolates) versus a full spectrum extract.  They found that the whole plant extract that contained traces of other cannabinoids, proved to be superior in alleviating pain and inflammation than the purified version.¹

Now that the cannabis industry is becoming more mainstream and more widely accepted, people are trying it as a means of alternative, natural medicine. With many human success stories abound, it only seems natural that we think about the CBD oil benefits has done for loved ones, that we want to include our pets in the healing process.

How Does CBD Oil Work?

One of the reasons the cannabis plant provides many benefits for humans, dogs and other animals is due to the fact that we have similar endocannabinoid systems (ECS). The ECS is a receptor system in charge of pain sensation, mood, and appetite.  This is largely why big pharma tests on rats, cats,  rabbits, dogs and other animals before going to human clinical trials.  They know and understand the effects will be similar to what they can expect in humans.

The benefits of CBD oil are numerous. And the best part is, CBD has no reported incidences of  overdose or complications when used with pharmacological drugs.  At best, if you give your pet too much, it gets lazy. If you don’t give enough, then there is no effect.  We recommend 1-2 mg of CBD per ten pounds of dog as a starting point. This can be adjusted accordingly depending on the age and condition of the dog. Overall, it is a safe, natural way to help alleviate symptoms of aging, end of life care, and even the dreaded what to give dogs for fireworks anxiety.
