Why I’m Loving These CBD Oils and Treats From The Anxious Pet

By Dave Baker, publisher of Petful

Is your pet ready for a treat with a purpose?

From our partners at The Anxious Pet comes a new product called Calming Soft Chews. These vet-formulated, all-natural treats are not only delicious but are also designed with a unique calming blend to help dogs relax and live happier, more peaceful lives.

The dog treats are available in both CBD and non-CBD formulations, and The Anxious Pet also offers Organic Hemp Oil drops — a quick and easy way to give your dog or cat all the amazing, calming benefits of CBD.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a chemical compound derived from hemp. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties. CBD oil may help ease discomfort, but it does not cure conditions.

 
And, no, CBD oil does not contain significant levels of THC, the psychoactive chemical.

So, although CBD has medicinal benefits, it won’t ever give your dog or cat the “high” of THC.

An All-Natural Solution to Heartbreaking Anxiety

When you think about it, your pet has very limited ways of expressing their fear. Shaking, barking and other nervous behaviors are all anxiety-related and are the ways your pet lets you know something is wrong.

Even though you might not always be able to tell what causes the anxiety, there are ways you can help keep the anxiety under control. Using veterinarian-formulated, lab-tested treats may help you keep your dog’s anxiety issues better managed.

Some of the most common causes of anxiety in pets include:

• Fear: Often associated with loud noises like thunder and fireworks, vet visits, car rides and interaction with strangers that might manifest as aggression
• Separation: Anxiety over being left alone that can result in destructive behavior and conflict with other pets
• Health and age-related: Cognitive dysfunction, as well as conditions that can cause pain

All of these types of anxiety can be hard on pets and their families, making solutions that work well all the more important. In the case of fear and separation anxiety, there are training methods that might work, but these can take time for you to see the full effects.

When your pet’s anxiety has become a problem, you want to see the results quickly.

Many of us prefer not to use prescription products to manage stress issues in our pets. Some of the available prescription products have unpleasant side effects. Most of these products are in pill form, which is not always easy to administer.

The use of CBD-based products for anxious pets helps resolve these problems by offering an option with fewer side effects, as well as providing the products in different forms that include both oil and chewy treats.

The relaxing effects of CBD can help even the most anxious of pets calm down relatively quickly. And when the anxiety issues are health-related, the anti-inflammatory properties of the CBD can help lessen pain and other discomfort that contributes to a pet’s overall anxiety issues.

Benefits of Using CBD Oil and Treats:

• A drug-free solution to pet anxiety
• Less risk of side effects
• No vet visit required
• No long wait for a prescription

The Anxious Pet offers a range of safe, effective products and formulations to suit your pet’s specific needs.

The result? No more fighting to get your pet to willingly take a pill — offering delicious, calming treats is a better way to ensure your pet receives the benefits quickly.

In the video below, I take a deeper look at some of the drops and treats — plus, I asked a special canine reviewer, Sparky, to weigh in, too:

I love how The Anxious Pet offers a convenient way to personalize relief strategies according to your pet’s specific needs, including:

• Organic Hemp Oils for dogs and cats in 400mg and 800mg concentrations
• Soft Chews in Peanut Butter or Bacon flavors
• Organic Hemp Oils with Soft Chews as a bonus
• Supplement Bars (I’m really excited about these!)

If your pet is already on medication, or if you have any questions or concerns about CBD, I recommend consulting your veterinarian first.

About The Anxious Pet

The Anxious Pet was started by a team of entrepreneurs that include Brock Weatherup, CEO/founder of Pet360; Nico Chereque, founder of PetMD; and a lot of other smart folks with vast experience at companies like Drs. Foster & Smith, PetSmart, Petco and Chewy.

Brock was inspired by his sweet Golden Retriever, a “great big dog” named Boulder — who was, believe it or not, afraid of his own water bowl.

I have never heard of a Golden Retriever who was so frightened of getting wet, but that was the case for poor Boulder. He also had crippling anxieties riding in a car and even had issues with quietly going to sleep like other dogs.

“The harder I looked for answers, the more I discovered they didn’t exist,” Brock says.

There’s a whole lot of confusion about buying supplements, treats and CBD products for pets. The Anxious Pet wants to simplify it for you.

“What we want to do,” says Brock, “is help consumers navigate that by giving your animal the right supplements in the right situation, in the right time and the right life stage.”

In short, they’re sure to have a solution that’s just right for your pet.

And how’s that sweet Golden Retriever, Boulder, doing today?

“I’m happy to report that Boulder is thriving,” says Brock. “And now, we’d like The Anxious Pet to be your destination for all the tools you need to help your pet live a happier and more peaceful life.”
