In recent years, CBD (Cannabidiol) has become a popular topic in pet care, particularly for dogs.

Understanding CBD

CBD is a compound found in cannabis and hemp plants. Unlike THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the ‘high’ associated with cannabis.

 It interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is present in all mammals, including cats, and plays a role in maintaining homeostasis in the body.
