A: Yes, in many cases, topical and oral CBD can be used together to support both localized and systemic relief.

However, it’s important to monitor dosage and consult your veterinarian to avoid potential overuse or interactions, especially if your dog is on other medications.

Q: What is CBD?
A: CBD, or cannabidiol, is the second most prevalent active ingredient in cannabis (marijuana). While CBD is an essential component of marijuana, it is derived directly from the hemp plant, a cousin of marijuana, or manufactured in a laboratory. One of hundreds of components in marijuana, CBD does not cause a “high” by itself.” health.harvard.edu

Q: How is CBD different from other cannabinoids?

Q: What do “Full Spectrum” and “Broad Spectrum” mean?
A: Full-spectrum means the inclusion of most cannabinoids present in the source (hemp) plant material. Full Spectrum extract includes some amount of THC. Current US Federal regulations classify anything possessing greater than 0.3% THC (by dry weight) is Cannabis and NOT Hemp. Broad Spectrum is Full Spectrum less any THC.

Q: What is the “Entourage Effect”?
A: The term “entourage effect” was coined by Mechoulam and Shimon Ben-Shabat in a cannabinoid study in 1999. In the study, they suggested that this phenomenon explains why botanical drugs (containing the entire spectrum of compounds within a plant) can sometimes be more effective than the plant’s isolated components. This is a consequence of the synergistic interaction between multiple cannabinoids and terpenes and the body’s endocannabinoid system.

Q: Is it possible for my dog to overdose?

A: No, THC is completely removed during the Hemp Oil extraction process.
