How Broad Spectrum CBD Oil Can Help Your Senior Dog with Arthritis

And How it Helped My Darling Balto in his Twilight Years

By ErinPublished about a year ago 4 min read
CBD Oil has really helped my older dog Balto (the white one) with his arthritis.

Giving your pet CBD Oil to help relieve the symptoms of arthritis is fast becoming a popular trend.

 Why?

 I thought that any cannabis products were toxic for dogs?

No, on the contrary. CBD is often confused with its more "groovy" cousin compound, THC. Now THC is harmful to your pet, but CBD can be used quite safely. Provided you use a quality product. This is where Broad Spectrum CBD Oil shines. Broad Spectrum CBD Oil is distilled from selected Hemp flowers and contains less than 0.001% THC as per the legal limit, so it’s completely safe and legal, even for your animal companion. The medicinal benefits of CBD in humans and animals have been extensively researched and CBD oil can definitely give your aching pet some relief.

How Broad Spectrum CBD Oil Helped My Old Boy Balto

My darling dog Balto, a beautiful Labrador Husky cross, developed arthritis when he was around 12 years old. Balto spent his youth running around on our farm being very physically active. As an avid horse rider, I taught him to jump over horse jumps. He would clear a meter jump with ease in his youth. He was our jolly little jumper and would bring joy to everyone who watched him enthusiastically spring over the jumps, often without a command to do so! He just loved jumping so much.

However, as Balto got older, he could no longer effortlessly fly over jumps but he was always keen to go for a long walk around the property. We noticed that Balto would take longer and longer to recover after a walk. His posture and movements became increasingly stiff and sore. Balto never lost his enthusiasm though. He wouldn't abide being left behind for a walk, always coming along, albeit at a much slower pace, with his big characteristic grin beaming across his face. We never had the heart to keep him behind, so we knew we had to get some medicine to help him.

That's when I started doing the research.

That's when I found out about Broad Spectrum CBD Oil.

We found a good brand and started administering it to Balto right away. It was a super easy process wherein we would just drop some CBD oil in his food and the results were astonishing.

After the first week of giving Balto Broad Spectrum CBD oil, we noticed his recovery time after a long walk was significantly reduced. His movements were a lot more languid and less stiff. The Broad Spectrum CBD oil seemed to be easing the stress and inflammation around his old joints. We were overjoyed to see his quality of life improve.

Balto lived a full and happy life until he passed on to Heaven in 2021.

We are very grateful to this amazing plant medicine for easing our sweet boy's joint pain so effectively and without any side effects.

A natural product is definitely the best medicine!

Here's why...

How Does CBD LAB Broad Spectrum CBD Oil Help?

All mammals have an Endocannabinoid System.

So mammalian bodies are specifically designed, on a cellular level, to interact with cannabinoids.

The Endocannabinoid System is a highly sophisticated cell-signalling system that plays an important role in regulating and balancing a host of vital functions within the body such as muscle formation, and nerve function including pain sensation; chronic pain, and inflammation.

Many mature dogs start to suffer from inflammation as they get older.

Broad Spectrum CBD Oil could certainly help your four-legged friend manage the pain associated with arthritis. A dog suffering from arthritis could benefit from a top-up of these very important Endocannabinoids, which are found in abundance in Broad Spectrum CBD Oil. 

Many pet owners prefer to go the natural route, as conventional pain medication is often opioid-based which normally comes with nasty, potentially deadly, side-effects.  Such as serious liver damage, dependency, and an overdose resulting in death.

There are far fewer side effects when giving your pet CBD Oil because CBD naturally bonds with cannabinoid receptors throughout your pet's body. Therefore, there is no strain on your pet's liver. Broad Spectrum CBD Oil helps with pain management and promotes healing.

Broad Spectrum CBD Oil could also be a good alternative to treat inflammation. Many studies have shown the effectiveness of CBD as an anti-inflammatory.

Inflammation is conventionally treated with NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). However, these come packed with many side effects such as vomiting, diarrhoea, aggressiveness or change in behaviour, constipation, and weight loss just to name a few.

No thanks!

Why Broad Spectrum CBD Oil is a Superior Choice For Your Older Pooch

Broad Spectrum CBD Oil is completely legal and can be purchased over the counter at selected pharmacies and pet shops.

Now veterinarians agree that giving your dog high-quality Broad Spectrum CBD Oil will provide the most benefit to help your poor pooch's aches and pains.

The reason Broad Spectrum CBD Oil really works is that it contains nearly all the compounds found naturally in the cannabis plant. Hence, its broad-spectrum formulation provides the greatest efficacy.

These include CBD, as well as other cannabinoids (CBN, CBC and CBG to name a few), terpenes, flavonoids and many more.

CBD Isolate products, on the other hand, contain ONLY CBD.

Therefore, it's better to go for Broad Spectrum CBD Oil than CBD Isolate products if you are looking for superior medicinal properties.

Broad Spectrum Oil, with its full array of the above-mentioned compounds all synergistically interacting together within the body, creates the “Entourage Effect”.

In simple terms, it’s the beneficial effect it gives to promote health and healing for your dog.

Give your pet the relief he/she deserves.

The natural way.
