A study released in 2016 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that more than one-third of Americans do not get the recommended seven hours of sleep per night. It’s no wonder, then, that so many people try to resolve their problems with sleeping pills. But an increasing number are turning to a natural alternative in CBD edibles, as they don’t have the baggage of side effects.
Additional clarification to the law came in 2018, with an updated version of the farm bill. The 2014 law set the foundations for hemp-based products to emerge, but there was still some confusion as it did not specifically mention CBD products. This new version of the farm bill keeps the same restriction on THC, but makes it perfectly clear that CBD vape juice and all other hemp-derived products are legal throughout the United States.
But herein lies a problem. The research needed to determine the correct dosage for CBD oil in dogs simply hasn’t been done yet, Coates says. And, to make matters worse, FDA testing has shown that many CBD products contain little if any CBD, she adds. The best option available to pet parents at this time is to talk to a veterinarian who has experience with pets being treated with cannabis oil about proper dosage and reputable manufacturers, Coates says.
Each case is unique, and you must consider your pet’s medical history. There are over 1500 prescription drugs for pets in the United States; each of them could interact in a different way with any supplement such as PurCBD. If your pet is on any prescription medication we recommend consulting with a veterinarian before administering any supplement, including our own. Our comprehensive dosing chart is the best place to start; the second page of the chart has a form to help you and your veterinarian coordinate the use of prescription meds with PurCBD.
