THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the phytocannabinoid that produces the “high” or the psychoactive effect of marijuana. It is found in high concentrations in the marijuana plant but by law the hemp cultivar of Cannabis sativa L has less than 0.3% THC. Cannabinoids interact with receptors of the endocannabinoid system, which all mammals have, including the CB1 […]

Commonly referred to as COA. A certificate of analysis is a laboratory generated report that shows a breakdown of the contents in the tincture. It should show cannabinoid content such as CBD, THC, CBG and CBN. It may also show terpene content as well. Finally, it will show any impurities, heavy metals or other contaminants

Hemp oil, or hemp seed oil, is made from hemp seeds, while CBD oil is made primarily from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant. We add hemp oil to our CBD/CBG to dilute it so that our product is less concentrated and can be easily administered at the proper amount. Hemp seed oil

Flavonoids are plant compounds that give many plants their color. They occur naturally in hemp and in many fruits and vegetables and are studied mainly for their antioxidant activity. Flavonoids are one of the compound groups kept in a full- or broad-spectrum hemp extract and removed in an isolate.

Terpenes and terpenoids are aromatic hydrocarbons, the building blocks of plants’ essential oils and resins. They give cannabis plants their color, smell, and flavor; about 120 terpenes have been identified in the cannabis plant. Whether terpenes have effects of their own in pets has not been established: most research on them is laboratory or human

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are prescription medications veterinarians use to control pain and inflammation, most commonly for arthritis. Veterinary NSAIDs include carprofen, deracoxib, firocoxib, and meloxicam. Like all effective drugs they can have side effects, which is why they are prescribed and monitored by a veterinarian. Never start, stop, or change an NSAID dose on

Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD) also known as Doggy Dementia. With both CCD and Alzheimer’s, neurotoxic proteins accumulate in the brain and these plaques, along with compromise of the brain vasculature, contributes to the brain impairment that is a hallmark of both Alzheimer’s and canine cognitive dysfunction. Fortunately, dogs with CCD seldom show the severity of

NASC (National Animal Supplement Council) a 3rd party organization setup to promote the health and wellbeing of companion animals and horses that are given animal health supplements by their owners, and to protect and enhance the animal health supplement industry. Members of the NASC are concerned and committed manufacturers of animal health supplements from around the

Pure CBD. You don’t get the entourage effect with CBD isolate. CBD isolate is the cheapest cannabinoid and is mostly used in CHEAP CBD oils. We also don’t recommend giving your dog Isolates. An isolate is basically pure CBD as a single compound. The endocannabinoid system works best when multiple cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids are
