Things to consider when
buying CBD oil for your dog
CBD products are rapidly gaining in popularity with dog
owners for a wide variety of reasons. Because these products are becoming
so popular, some companies are taking shortcuts in making
their products. If you aren’t careful, you may get ripped off or worse,
harm your dog. As an example, some companies extract the CBD oil
using toxic solvent extraction, including Butane, Ethanol, and Acetone.
The best and safest method of oil extraction is an expensive
process using high pressure CO2.
If there’s one thing a dog owner should consider above all else
when buying CBD oil, it is the .
The COA is loaded with need-to-know information that directly affects
you and your pet. From it you can make the best, most informed
decision possible when buying CBD oil for your dog.
Here are things to consider when buying hemp CBD oil for
your dog:
Potency. A COA shows the milligrams (mg) per milliliter (mL)
of CBD in the hemp oil. Knowing the potency of the CBD oil you’re
considering will help you determine dosage for your dog. Giving
your dog too much can be wasteful and harmful, too little may be
ineffective, though it is always better to start with less than the suggested
dose to start. When buying CBD oil, keep in mind the size of
your dog.
Purity. The COA will show any other chemicals or ingredients
present in the CBD oil. This is important, as some CBD oils will
contain traces of other compounds commonly found in hemp, like
THC. THC is the chemical sought after in marijuana, which causes
people to feel high. THC can be dangerous for pets. It is best to avoid
hemp oils containing THC. Fortunately, the compound can be removed
from hemp oil through sophisticated manufacturing processes,
but not all hemp oil products are made this way.
Third-Party Testing. A third-party testing agency is an unbiased
testing agency. They’re more likely to have stricter standards
than an in-house testing facility, and have nothing to gain by fudging
numbers. A company willing to put their product into the hands of a
third-party testing agency is a company that trusts its product.
