CBD For My Furry Friend

7/9/2018

My Dog Loki
My partner and I adopted Loki about three years ago from our local rescue shelter. He was this beautiful bundle of joy and we instantly bonded, bringing him home the very next day. We soon learned Loki had intense allergies and his skin grew increasingly irritated. We began a long journey of discovery, but this story is more about the solution.

Save yourself the trip.

We tried all different types of food combinations, each time causing a reaction with a round of steroids to “fix it.” Loki’s skin started ripping and bleeding from the persistent scratching and his fur fell out in large patches. Eventually we found a food that did not cause a full reaction but something was still missing from his routine care.​
While working at Theorem Cannabis, I learned the benefits of CBD (cannabidiol) hearing story after story of relief from symptoms and stress.  Many patients were finding it helpful to their animals as well. Holistic vets, adoption shelters and pet lovers are reporting the benefits of CBD oil for dogs and cats in their care. After some research on CBD for pets and the relief CBD can provide for dogs, we decided to try it.

I selected a CBD oil (Companion Tincture from Fairwinds) to mix in with Loki's dinner, and he ate it up with no issue. Within 3-4 days there was a noticeable reduction in the redness of his skin. After about a week we began to see the regrowth of fur where there had been none before. The CBD was having a restorative effect and relieving Loki’s need to aggravate his skin.​  
It has been about three months since we started using small doses of CBD, twice a day.

Loki has regained most of his hair, and only experiences a fraction of the issues he had before beginning the CBD tincture.


From soothing anxiety to inflammation, CBD has been making news for a myriad of restorative results. Whether researched or anecdotal, we're eager for more information to help us understand the impact CBD has on our furry friends.

​Washington has a range of CBD based products aimed at helping humans, as well as pets.
From tinctures to treats and topicals, CBD is available in a variety of products and doses.  ​

CBD for Pets Dosing Basics:
  • Doses typically measured in "mg" or milligrams.
  • Dose based on pet weight, 1-5 MG CBD FOR EVERY 10 POUNDS of body weight.
  • Drop on food or treat to help a picky pet consume.
  • Document outcomes, and adjust dose according to pet's body mass, experience and need.

DISCLAIMER! While THC can be fun for humans - animals do not experience the psychoactive properties in the same way that people do. Limit pet consumption to CBD products produced from reliable farms with high quality crops. Know your grow - look for hemp or CBD forward strains grown with quality practices. We aren't saying "organic" weed (because only the Feds exercise that classification) but darn near close.

I like that you mentioned that these products have been giving positive results lately. With that in mind, I might consider buying CBD-based products for my dog because he has been in trauma before. Actually, we are not aware of the root cause of the problem because we just adopted our dog, and they did not disclose the information to us.
