The benefits of CBD for aging dogs
As your dog ages, they become more and more susceptible to joint pain and arthritis. It creeps up on our dogs, and sometimes we don’t even notice that they are in pain. Arthritis is very common in older dogs and some breeds are more prone to it than others. It causes severe joint pain, similar to the way it does in humans. It is also a progressive disease, and will continue to get worse with time. However, there are ways to manage your dog's pain and slow down progression.
Vets often prescribe pain relievers like Rimadyl for arthritis pain. While this drug can help manage joint pain and long term pain, pain relievers can cause other health issues for your dog like ulcers in the stomach and intestines, renal damage, and kidney and liver failure. Not to mention that these side effects can lead to increased vet visits, and prescription pain relievers do not come cheap.
There are many natural remedies for arthritis that will make your dog feel better, and won’t break the bank. Nutty Birdie’s Calming Butter uses CBD to naturally alleviate joint pain. CBD has anti-inflammatory properties which helps decrease the swelling in dogs’ joints, which is the main cause of their pain. CBD also does not have any concerning side effects in dogs, and is safe to add into their daily routine in order to decrease pain and increase mobility.
Combining Nutty Birdie’s Calming Butter with low-impact exercise, like swimming, a weight maintenance routine, and if needed, other anti-inflammatory supplements like Omega-3 fatty acids can greatly improve your dog’s quality of life. A recent study done by Cornell University, found that 2 mg of CBD per every 2.2 lbs twice daily can greatly increase comfort and mobility in dogs suffering from arthritis.
Incorporating Nutty Birdie’s Calming Butter could be just what your dog needs to improve their quality of life. As your dog ages, they deserve to live out their last few years as comfortable as possible. By providing them with relief from their aches and pains with Nutty Birdie’s Calming Butter, they can get back to doing the activities they love!
