Is that OK do you think?\"\n_____________________\nWe have not heard of any adverse side effects from customers who combined Treatibles with other vet prescribed medical plans. \n\nIf you're giving your pet an oil, I'd be very careful to make sure the THC levels in the oil are extremely low, if not non-existent. From what we've seen in own pets and heard from customers, dogs can be 4-6x more sensitive to THC than humans. We've even read studies about THC toxicity in dogs, which is one of the many reasons our chews contain hemp-derived CBD and not cannabis-derived CBD.\n\njuliannacarella\n_____________________\nI would agree with the caution. Dogs, in particular, may be very sensitive to THC and I recommend people use a 2:1 or higher CBD:THC ratio oil or product for canines. \n\nCats are a bit of a wild card and are known to eat raw cannabis. They do not seem to be as sensitive to THC but I would still recommend caution and start with higher CBD products to assess tolerance.\n\ndrgerhart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11212-markdown","title":"Are these just for dogs or can lizards eat these?","slug":"are-these-just-for-dogs-or-can-lizards-eat-these","content":"\"My first chinese water dragon (Jackie Chan) is used to living alone.

First and foremost, LOOOOVE the pet names. Too perfect!\n\nTo answer your question all animals, with exception to insects, have an endocannabinoid system and would benefit from our chews. That includes fish, reptiles, earthworms, leeches, amphibians, birds and mammals\n—every animal except insects. \n\nAs we suggest 1mg per 10lbs of the animal's weight, I would start off incorporating a very small portion of crumbled chew into a normal food serving and work your way up to the recommended dosage for their weight.\n\nIf everything goes well, please Please PLEASE send us an email at testimonials@treatibles.com and let us know how it goes!\n\njess","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11180-markdown","title":"What should I look for in a product to help my dog with arthritis?","slug":"what-should-i-look-for-in-a-product-to-help-my-dog-with-arthritis","content":"\"Benji is a 10 year old Westie with arthritis and he takes prednisone. I'd like to give him something more natural to help him.\"\n_____________________\nIn my experience, you have very limited options here. You can give him strong narcotics to help with pain, but there are side effects that may make these unworkable as was my experience. There are also drugs you can give him that have deleterious effects on his liver and kidneys (also unworkable for my dog). Finally, you can try acupuncture as I did for $250 per session, and there was no noticeable difference.\r\n\r\nNow I have my dog on a combination of Treatibles CBD cookies (one each morning) and a drop of Internal cannabis oil. Its hard to know how much this helps, but he does seem to be less stiff than before.  IF nothing else, it makes me feel like I am at least doing something to help him with his pain.\n\nmark\n_____________________\nWe are not veterinarians and cannot make any health claims about cannabinoids or any of the other ingredients in our products. The results noticed by pet owners using our treats are anecdotal.  We have collected data from over 2000 customers and find that Treatibles customers use the product for a myriad of conditions.  All animals have an endocannabinoid system which regulates many homeostatic functions and can provide overall health and wellness.  Treatibles are safe, non-toxic, and non-habit forming.\r\n\r\nArthritis, inflammation and pain are some of the main reasons why customers use Treatibles, and with great success.  I first found out about Treatibles from the owner of a hardware store.  His 15-year-old german shephard suffered with arthritis and could barely get up off the ground or walk around.  After the dog began taking Treatibles on a regular basis, his mobility improved so much that his owner put Treatibles brochures out at the front register so that other people could learn about the product (like me!)  I met the german shephard and from the way that he moved, I would not have known that this dog ever had trouble walking or getting up off of the ground.\r\n\r\nThe testimonials for CBD use with pets, as posted on the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) website, are similar to the testimonials we receive for Treatibles and include cases where animals who demonstrate difficulty moving around (potentially due to arthritis) showed improvement after taking CBD-laced treats: \r\n\r\nhttps://www.avma.org/news/javmanews/pages/130615a.aspx\r\n\r\nThis article discusses CBD and the positive effect it has on the management of osteoarthritis (one of the common forms of arthritis in dogs):\r\n\r\nhttp://www.medicalmarijuanainc.com/osteoarthritis-medical-marijuana-research-overview/\r\n\r\nThis study shows the therapeutic value of cannabinoids for osteoarthritis management:\r\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24494687\r\n\r\nThis study shows that CBD offers a potent anti-arthritic effect in arthritis\r\n\r\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10920191\n\nlisag","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11174-markdown","title":"Is this just for cats and dogs?","slug":"is-this-just-for-cats-and-dogs","content":"\"I have a chinchilla and he gets anxious when I leave him.

Pay close attention to your pet and your pet will show you what it needs.  \n\nBTW:  Treatibles are human grade super foods.  I especially like the taste of the pumpkin Treatibles.

What would be the recommended dosage?\"\n_____________________\nThe 1:1 CBD:THC ratio of this tincture may be a bit heavy on the THC side for your pet. I would reccomend a tincture with around 10:1 or more CBD:THC. Pets can experience psychoactivity from THC, and I have seem some friends' pets' after having accidently ingested large quantities of THC edibles. They did not look happy and were quite altered. However, you may try small doses of the 1:1 CBD;THC tincture, wait several hours and check for positive or negative results.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10622-markdown","title":"Is marijuana safe for my dog? ","slug":"is-marijuana-safe-for-my-dog","content":"\"She was hit by a car a few years ago and has terrible arthritis in her hind legs. I hate to see her suffering.\"\n_____________________\nMarijuana is toxic to dogs, and this is potentially a dangerous situation. If you have any concerns, you should seek veterinary attention asap. \n\nHowever, it really depends on the quantity your dog ate, and his relative body weight. If he is a large breed, and he ate not too much, in all likelihood he will be ok once it wears off.\n\nIf you do some research you will see that most of the treatment the vet will provide will be symptomatic. They will give him fluids to keep him hydrated and put him in a darkish room to minimize any mental distress. It's important that you to keep him calm. They may also give him something to encourage vomiting. \n\nSo to sum up, if he did not eat too much and it happened a while ago (where vomiting won't help), or he is a larger dog relative to the amount he ate, he will likely be ok if you just let him sleep it off. If he is a smaller breed, or ate a greater quantity, be aware that it is toxic to his system and he may be better off with immediate treatment by the vet.\n\nmark\n_____________________\nThis is a great question. It really depends on how and in what form they ingest marijuana. There are specific cannabis products made for dogs and pets, which can help with inflammation, pain, arthritis, anxiety, etc. These products have been effective for many people and some research indicates that cannabis made specifically for pets can be a good replacement for more traditional meds. \r\n\r\nWhen giving your dog cannabis, it should be a product made specifically for pets. Often, these products are high in cannabidiol (CBD) which is an analgesic and anti inflammatory. Some products may contain THC, the psychoactive component, but in low dosage. CBD and THC work together to create an entourage effect for your pet, meaning multiple cannabinoids are working together to help alleviate a specific condition.\r\n\r\nThree pet products that are out on the market today in California are Constance Therapeutics, Treatwell and Auntie Dolores (hemp based CBD for this last one). I can speak from personal experience that the hemp based CBD cookies from Auntie Dolores definitely helped our 14 year old arthritic dog. When he does not have his cookies, he does not walk as well and appears to be in pain.\r\n\r\nWhen marijuana is not safe for your dog is when your dog gets into cannabis flower and/or eats edibles, such as THC laden cookies or concentrated products like cannabis butter. The effect on your animal is highly variable based on the size of the animal and how much was ingested. Dogs are also susceptible to getting high from second hand smoke, although eating marijuana definitely seems to have a more detectable impact. Eating marijuana products can cause lethargy, slower breathing, lower blood pressure, slower heart rate, loss of balance and can make a dog incontinent or cause them to have trouble going to the bathroom. Some dogs can become distressed, similar to the way people may experience anxiety. Depending on the amount ingested, it can be toxic to your animal, although death would be extremely rare. Most vets would say to get your animal to a facility to be carefully watched and hydrated.\r\n\r\nTechnically 3 grams of pot per kilogram of a dog's weight is a lethal dose. This is actually quite a lot of cannabis to consume. Bottom line, only feed your dog products in appropriate dosages from cannabis or hemp products made specifically for pets. If you consume marijuana in other forms keep it locked up and away from other people and pets.\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nThis is a fantastic question that I am asked regularly at my veterinary practice.  Not surprisingly, the answer is a little complicated.  Cannabis can be very effective medicine for dogs and cats for many of the same conditions for which it is used to treat people.  That said, cannabis must be treated like the strong medicine that it is.    Like with any other medication, the keys to safe and effective use are in choosing the right preparation and giving the correct dosage.  Just like with us humans, the amount (in milligrams) of THC and CBD as well as the relative ratio of THC and CBD are critical to success.  Unlike us humans however, animals (dogs in particular) are very susceptible to the psychoactive effects of THC and it would be very easy to overdose pets to the point where they need emergency medical care.   My very strong recommendation to anyone who wants to use cannabis for their pets is to get the advice of a veterinarian that has experience with using cannabis as medicine.  If that is not available to you where you live, I have two resources that will be helpful.  My book, \"The Ultimate Pet Health Guide\" is a roadmap for pet owners to integrate nutrition, holistic care, and Western medicine to keep pets healthy.  There is an entire chapter dedicated to medical cannabis in pets and how to use it safely and effectively. Best of luck with your dog!\n\ngaryr\n_____________________\nAt present, vets can’t legally prescribe CBD to their animal patients in Canada, but CBD-infused edibles and tinctures are sold legally in some pet stores, and have been well-received.\n\nAccording to a survey in the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, 64% of dog owners who used CBD to treat their pets’ arthritis pain, seizures, anxiety, or lack of appetite reported that it helped their pets moderately to extremely.\n\nApart from relief from pain, 50% of dog owners also reported either moderately or greatly improved sleep habits in dogs, and 49% reported less anxiety. Similarly high responses came from cat owners who experimented with cannabis, too. It should be noted that these edibles contain no THC (which is toxic to animals and should not be used). \n\nKait Fowlie","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":36,"numPages":4,"currentPage":4,"id":5202,"name":"Dog","slug":"dog","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
