CBD to support appetite in animals

Anorexia in dogs and cats

 Refusing food can have many causes. The most common are pains of various kinds. First of all, you should not take these problems lightly and have your dog or cat examined by a veterinarian.

REASONS why your pet may not eat:

• pain (teeth, gums, abdomen, ears…)
• changes in routine (change in feeding times)
• it is a picky eater, doesn‘t like the food, or you give him too many treats outside the feed ration
• incorrectly chosen granule size
• mental problems
• deterioration of smell (especially in older dogs)

BEWARE: it can be a disease if:

• the animal begins to lose weight quickly
• in other circumstances he eats well, but there is a sudden change
• eats nothing longer than 2 days
• it is a puppy or an old dog
• everything it eats it throws up
• is also apathetic and not interested in his surroundings

How is it possible that CBD can boost appetite?

You may have heard that all mammals and some other animals have a so-called endocannabinoid system. It is a set of receptors that respond to cannabinoids (such as CBD) and regulate many important processes in the body. If you haven't read about it yet and want to learn more, you can check it in this article.

It is also very interesting that cannabinoids are found in breast milk and children get them from their mother this way.
And why? Precisely because they are supposed to make young mammals need to eat, encourage hunger and support the sucking reflex. This in itself demonstrates the ability of CBD to increase appetite.

If the endocannabinoid system of the animal cannot create the necessary endocannabinoids itself, it is desirable to supply them from the outside and thus harmonize again the natural processes of the body.

Some studies also show that CBD reduces nausea. It is therefore also suitable as an adjunct in the ongoing treatment of oncological diseases, where nausea is a common side effect.

When is the time to try CBD to boost your dog's appetite?

Whatever the reason your dog needs an appetite boost, it is always a good idea to administer CBD after a vet has checked its condition. Only when all serious health problems that could cause your pet to stop eating are ruled out, it is time to try natural products – CBD oils for animals.

If your dog is otherwise healthy and only needs to increase his appetite, as the feed ration it normally consumes is too small, this is an ideal time for trying CBD.

Of course, CBD can solve multiple problems at the same time, so while stimulating appetite, it helps reduce pain, inflammation, alleviate the symptoms of epilepsy, promotes natural immunity and sleep, and has a beneficial effect on nervous system function - reduces anxiety and stress.

What CBD concentration to choose?

For cats and small dogs, we recommend 2% CBD oil. For dogs weighing around 10kg would 5% CBD oil would be ideal. For large dogs over 20 kg, 10% oil is ideal.

CBD oils (2%, 5% and 10%) for animals from Cannadorra are registered veterinary products in the Czech Republic approved by the Institute for State Control of Veterinary Biologicals and Medicines, and we get many positive reviews of their use to support appetite.
