CBD Wellness Dog Treats

CBD is non-habit forming, so you do not need to worry about your dog developing a dependence on our natural dog treats. This is one more way that CBD and THC differ from one another. THC binds strongly to cannabinoid receptors, which is why some people form a habit. This is not an issue with CBD.

CBD is very versatile, so you can use it in all kinds of situations. The benefits of CBD that we listed before should give you a good idea of the issues CBD can help with. These dog treats are great for moments when your dog is experiencing discomfort, agitation, appetite issues, and skin irritation.

However, you don’t need to hold back on the CBD dog treats until your pup exhibits an issue. These natural dog treats infused with CBD is most effective when you give them dog treats every day. This way, you can build up a reserve supply of CBD puppy treats in their body to help them in the long term.

Natural dog treats infused with CBD are a powerful incentive for your dog. Remember, they don’t just have CBD at their disposal until you grant it. Our dog treats also have delicious blueberry and sweet potatoes that your dog can’t resist. You can support their wellness and reward them for good behavior with out dog treats all in one!

Since CBD treats are such a strong motivator for dogs, training treats can really help with training your dog. All reputable dog trainers and pet lovers agree that training treats with positive reinforcement is much, much more effective than punitive measures. Offer your dog a CBD treat to reward their good behavior. Through training treats you can teach them right from wrong.

Pet parents need to take a hands-on role in training, even if they hire a professional. Training is a round-the-clock process, so it shouldn’t be limited to daycare or the dog park. You always want to keep CBD training treats on hand so that you can seize every teaching moment!

We generally recommend giving your dog a CBD treat every 8 hours or so, depending on their needs. We say 8 hours because that is about the duration time of CBD’s effects. However, not every dog experiences the effects of our CBD dog treats for the same amount of time. Therefore, it is important to closely monitor your dog’s condition, especially during their first month of having CBD in dog treats or oil.

The 10% Rule

When it comes to doling out our natural dog treats, you need to consider quantity as well as how often you feed them. Veterinarians recommend that treats make up no more than 10% of your dog’s diet. Snacks, even healthy snacks, can’t substitute for daily meals.

It is important to feed your dog a healthy diet. Choose pet food made with natural, whole ingredients. Don’t settle for low-quality food that has artificial ingredients or meat meals. Wet foods are generally the most nutritious, and you can mix in a few drops of HolistaPet CBD oil for even more benefits.

Of course, you don’t want to buy just any old CBD dog treats or pet supplies. As a pet parent, you should always prioritize your dog’s health. They deserve the best, don’t they? Here’s what to look for when you’re shopping for CBD pet treats and pet supplies:

Natural Ingredients

The best CBD dog treats contain natural ingredients sourced directly from Mother Earth. If a company genuinely cares about its customers and their pets, it will not use any artificial ingredients in its dog treats or training treats. You should always look for ingredient lists with familiar, human-grade foods like fruits, berries, green tea extract, oats, etc.

American-Grown Hemp

CBD comes from hemp plants, which are a type of cannabis plant. Hemp is not marijuana! It contains lots of CBD and hardly any THC (plus, we remove any traces of THC when we make our pet products). The best hemp comes from farms right here in the United States, where farmers ensure that it meets the high standards set by the federal government.

COAs

We previously glossed over third-party lab tests and the importance of COAs (Certificates of Analysis), but we’d like to go a little more in-depth right now. What exactly does a COA tell you? In short, it provides a full list of the cannabinoids present in any given CBD product. We cannot overstate how important this is.

The first thing you want to look for on a COA for your training treats or otherwise, is the CBD content. It should match the strength listed on the label, although it could vary by a couple of decimals. Next, you want to look for the THC content. Specifically, you want to look for Delta 9 THC, which is the federally illegal compound in marijuana plants. If the COA says there is more than 0.3% Delta 9 THC in the product, it violates federal regulation.

Now that we have talked about the high-quality ingredients you want to have in your CBD dog treats, it is time to visit the other end of the spectrum. We here at HolistaPet strictly adhere to high standards and use only the most desirable ingredients. However, we can’t vouch for other CBD pet companies, many of whom maintain much lower standards. Do not get CBD treats if they contain any of the following elements:

Artificial Ingredients

Unfortunately, many mass-produced natural dog treats contain synthetic ingredients. You should avoid any artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Look at the list of ingredients – do you recognize them? Green tea extract, garlic powder, or rosemary extract?  Or does it look like a chapter from your old chemistry textbook? Containing vegetable glycerin, guar gum, cane molasses, or mixed tocopherols added? If the label is chock-full of chemical ingredients you can’t even pronounce, we strongly advise you not to buy them, regardless of whether they are tasty treats or not. Look fro ingredients with fresh meat. A senior puppy or not, your puppy loves natural soft bites that make training sessions better and life more full. 

Imported Hemp

We explained that American hemp is the highest quality, but that doesn’t stop many CBD companies from importing hemp crops from other countries, especially Canada, China, and Mexico. The problem with this is that other countries do not place the same regulations on their hemp farms, making the quality very unreliable.

So, why do so many companies use imported hemp to make their CBD pet products? Imported hemp is cheaper, so these brands can cut corners and save a buck saying they’re committed to wellness, soft puppy bites. Unfortunately, this comes at the expense of the customer. Cheaper ingredients are almost always a sign of poor quality, and yet many brands still charge premium prices for these products.

Synthetic Pesticides

We strongly believe that organic ingredients are the only choice if you care about clean, quality products. Many commercial farms cover their drops with toxic chemical pesticides to keep pests away. These companies will tell you that they clean all the chemicals off the plants once they harvest them, but do you really want to take that risk?

Synthetic pesticides have been linked to numerous health issues. The last thing you want to do is worsen your dog’s condition by letting them eat something toxic. Furthermore, inorganic farming is extremely destructive to the environment. When you choose to purchase organic products, you get to provide your dog with the highest-quality ingredients and show love to the environment at the same time!
