Medical marijuana legalization is increasing. Current research proves the marijuana plant brings all animal species a myriad of benefits. CBD (cannabidiol) products derived from the hemp plant are non-psychoactive and legal in most states. This means CBD is great for patients who want marijuana’s healing benefits but don’t want the psychoactive high from tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This also means CBD products are great for your pet. What does this human health trend have to do with Fluffy and Fido? If you want to heal your pet naturally, hemp oil is a great option. Today’s episode will teach you everything you need to know about hemp oil for pets. It can be used for pain, inflammation, stress, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and neurological conditions.
