Specifically for dogs with high anxiety levels.\"\n_____________________\nHi there!\nI think there might be some confusion? Serotonin is one of two major neurotransmitters (GABA being the other) responsible for anxiety relief. In fact, restoring activity in serotonin pathways—by increasing the serotonin available to bind a subtype of the  serotonin receptor (5-HT1A) in the brain—is how SSRIs  (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) are thought to alleviate anxiety and  depression. \n\nSimilarly, several recently published studies suggest that CBD does the same. However, it does so, not by increasing the serotonin available to bind 5-HT1A receptors, as SSRIs do, but by mimicking serotonin's action at the 5-HT1A receptor; or, in scientific terms: CBD is a 5-HT1A  receptor agonist. \nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16258853\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24923339\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nIn two studies, both published just this year, researchers administered CBD to rats, which then resulted in significant  reductions in anxiety- and depression-related behaviors. However, when  the rats were pre-treated with an agent that blocks the 5-HT1A receptor,  CBD did not affect their behaviors, thus indicating that CBD's interaction with the 5-HT1A receptor was the affecting mechanism. \nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30157131\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2697769/\n\nAdditionally, several studies suggest that CBD's interaction with the 5-HT1A receptor is the mechanism of action responsible for  neuropathic pain relief, and the reduction of OCD and addiction-withrawal symptoms. \n\nI hope this helps!\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12263-markdown","title":"Is CBD safe for cats?  Does it relieve pain for them?","slug":"is-cbd-safe-for-cats-does-it-relieve-pain-for-them","content":"\"I think my cat has kidney failure.  Before she came to me she was fed dry cat food.  She now urinates copiously and spends time drinking lots of water.  These past six weeks she's been yowling occasionally; I suspect this means she's in pain.  I live with a disability, such that my financial life is still on the poverty line, so paying for a veterinarian is out of the question.  And anyway, my cat was semi-wild most of her life; she'd be terrified to be facing one or more strange humans, terrified to have human hands touching her, and terrified to wait in a room with dogs and other cats.  And I wouldn't want to give her a synthetic drug, as they have \"side effects.\"\"\n_____________________\nHi there!\nIt does sound like your cat might have a UTI. CBD  might help some with the pain; however, any money spent on CBD would be much better spent on a trip to the veterinarian. Correctly diagnosing  the issue should be the primary concern, not symptom-management. If it were a UTI, the bacteria might reach the kidneys which would lead to very serious consequences, perhaps even death. CBD would do little, if anything, to eradicate any  infection; treating only the symptoms without understanding the cause shouldn't be an option.

A 65 lb lab and a 120 lb Mastiff/Rottie mix. How many treats do I give each dog and how many treats are in each bag?\"\n_____________________\nHi there! \n\nThere are approximately 15 treats in each bag. Each treat will contain 3mg of CBD. The suggested serving recommends one treat per 25 pounds of body weight once or increase as needed. \n\nBecause you have two large breed dogs, you many want to give your lab two treats, and your mastiff/rottie mix four treats (which will definitely make your lab pup jealous!) \n\nHowever please note these are the serving suggestions from Holistic Hound. You are welcome to start with one treat and increase the quantity as needed for your pooches. Because these treats are hemp-derived, they are non-psychoactive so you don't need to worry about giving them too much and making them uncomfortable. \n\nI hope this information helps! ....And to your pups - woof! :-)\n\nVeronicaB","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11847-markdown","title":"Cannabis for cats","slug":"cannabis-for-cats","content":"\"What is the best ratio of cbd/thc for a 12 year old cat with a cancerous tumor?

I would recommend that you start at a very low concentration of THC, e.g. 20:1, then work your way up until it seems a little too strong, then back up one step. The extra THC should help alleviate pain, improve appetite, reduce nausea, improve mood and possibly combat the tumor more effectively. \n\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8831-markdown","title":"What can I give my dogs to keep them calm during New Year’s Eve fire works in my neighborhood ","slug":"what-can-i-give-my-dogs-to-keep-them-calm-during-new-year-s-eve-fire-works-in-my-neighborhood","content":"\n_____________________\nHi there.

Although marijuana used medicinally for pets with cancer hasn't been studied in depth, there is an interesting article on cannabis and dogs by the Kerry Blue Terrier Foundation. \nThe article states \"As a guide, start with .5 to 1mg... use a product that has a 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD\".

Our Better Pet Relief product was designed and made specifically for dog lymphoma. My precious 12 year old pit-bull Mary Jane was diagnosed last October 2016 with Beta-Cell Lymphoma and given 3 months or less to live, with immediate and agressive chemotherapy. I refused chemotherapy and started giving her my raw cannabis juice and CBD in her food. I then formulated a raw cannabis, turmeric, and ginger combination to fight tumors, illness, fatigue, and cancer cells. She is now going on 13 years old and takes Better Pet Relief twice a day. She runs, jumps, pounces, plays, and loves life. Better Pet Relief makes your dog comfortable and gives them their life back. \n\nShe also has arthritis and sore hips from her age. The turmeric and ginger really help with those, as well as the anti-inflammatory properties of cannabis. \n\nIt's non-psychoactive, whole plant, raw, vegan, organic, fair-trade, gluten-free, and shelf-stable.
