Curious to learn more about how cats can use CBD, what it does and the like? Read more about CBD oil cats below.
Where does CBD oil come from?
CBD oil (cannabidiol) is extracted from the cannabis plant. The cannabinoid CBD occurs naturally in the hemp plant. This plant contains 150+ types of cannabinoids, including CBD, as well as THC. Cannabinoids have positive effects on the human and animal body, according to research.
Research CBD oil cats
Research on CBD oil cat as well as other cannabinoids is still in its infancy.
According to several studies, our oil could be used to support appetite, improve mood, stimulate the brain and nervous system, combat stress, anxiety and nausea, and reduce pain.
Other cats with arthritis and severe inflammation benefit from CBD products to lower inflammation.
Cannabidiol counteracts inflammation through its anti-inflammatory effects.
Cannabidiol also helps inhibit epileptic seizures, according to research. Anecdotal evidence also shows that cannabis can be administered to boost the immune system and combat skin problems. CBD helps for balance between the body and mind; so does cannabidiol.
The cat endocannabinoid system
Both humans and cats are mammals with a body’s own endocannabinoid system (ECS). Through receptors, the ECS sends signals that allow the body to regulate important processes, including sleep, appetite, emotions, digestion, pain, immune system and the like. It involves the receptors CB1 and CB2.
When you start with a cannabis product for cats, the cat’s body recognizes the cannabinoids from the oil as body-own, thus supporting the ECS considerably.
Oil strengths CBD oil cat
Are you going to start with a cannabis product for cats? Always start with a low oil percentage of CBD when using CBD oil in cats for the first time. Look at your cat’s kg body weight to determine the strength of the product. For CBD oil in cats:
- Cats < 2 kilograms: 2.5
- Cats > 2 kilo: 5%
Our CBD oil contains pure organic hemp seed oil. Hemp oil is ideal for subtle absorption in cats.
The dosage of CBD oil for cats
The dosage of CBD oil for cats varies. We are happy to give you information on the correct dosage of top quality products:
Kittens:
Cats 1-4 kilos:
Cats >4 kilograms:
1-2 drops (1x daily)
1-2 drops (2x daily)
2-3 drops (3x daily)
Tip CBD oil for cats: Do not exceed the maximum of 3x daily.
Increasing the dosage
Is your cat responding well and do you notice that the dosage may be increased? Then make sure the veterinarian is informed.
Did you increase the dosage? Then pay attention to any side effects.
Is your cat starting to vomit, experience anxiety and stress, become dizzy, sleep more, suffer from a decreased appetite and a weakened immune system or is your cat showing signs of epilepsy? Then reduce the dosage again.
If your cat is also on other medications and you want to start administering CBD, you should also consult your veterinarian. This will prevent any interaction between the oil and the medication.
Is CBD safe for your cat?
Whether CBD oil is safe for your cat? Yes, CBD oil for cats is completely harmless. In fact, the cannabinoid CBD contains no psychoactive effects. THC, unlike CBD, is psychoactive. Tetrahydrocannabinol can make a cat “high. By the way, animals do not get addicted to CBD oil. THC comes from the marijuana plant and CBD from the hemp plant or cannabis plant. So you can safely administer the oil to your cat; after all, CBD oil is known as a safe natural product.
Is it even legal?
Yes, our oil is legally for sale in the Netherlands. CBD oil is free of THC, which means it won’t get you “high” or “stoned. CBD, by the way, has been placed on the Opium list as safe.
Administering CBD oil
Dribbling CBD oil directly into your cat’s mouth does not work for many. For a positive effect, it is important that your cat ingest CBD oil naturally. We note that cats are often more sensitive to tastes.
You can put some CBD drops over some cat food. Do stand by until your cat has eaten it all. You can also possibly put a drop of CBD oil in the water bowl if your cat is thirsty.
Does it all really not work out? Then you can also try it by dripping some oil on your cat’s paw.
We are happy to help you with professional advice.
Are there any side effects?
Cats also do not experience side effects when used normally. Side effects occur only when the dosage is not correct. Fortunately, with too much CBD, side effects are mild to negligible.
In addition, CBD has no psychoactive effects and can therefore be used for animals just fine. Having doubts? Feel free to reach out to us for a free consultation.
