Can VetHealth help anxious pets?

19 December 2023

Traveling, moving to a new home or adjusting to new people or other pets in their lives, fireworks, trips to the vet or groomer - these can all be reasons for anxiety in dogs.

VetHealth Broad Spectrum Oil can be a solution for those looking for natural options instead of anti-anxiety medications and their potentially harmful side effects.

Recent research showed that just one dose of CBD (the main ingredient in VetHealth oil in addition to the analgesic CBG) can lead to a reduction in stress caused by separation anxiety or car travel. It can also help anxious dogs adapt to new routines, both situationally and long-term.

Recently, you often asked us if VetHealth can help dogs and cats afraid of fireworks or thunderstorms - here are the answers to that and a few more frequently asked questions.

Dogs and cats spend the holidays, usually celebrated with firecrackers and fireworks, cowering in fear.

VetHealth oil can reduce anxiety caused by thunderstorms, fireworks, etc. If you know when the stressful event will take place, for example, right before the Midnight Mass and New Year's Eve, we recommend that you proceed according to the following steps:

Close the windows and curtains
Play quiet music or TV
Before noon: tire the dog out with a long walk or brisk game, but don't let him off the leash if he is timid!
4:00: Give the first dose of VetHealth
18:00: 2nd dose of VetHealth
22:00: 3rd dose and put the pet in a home box or a similar place that instills confidence in him (in many homes, dogs choose the bathroom, perhaps because it usually has no window or is smaller than other rooms).

VetHealth oil for pets is extracted from industrial hemp (sativa) plants that have high levels of CBD and no THC or terpenes, so they are not psychoactive or can cause side effects.

Namely, THC can be toxic to dogs. Still, VetHealth is safe and offers the sedation your dog needs - THC-free, so you can be sure your dog won't get "high" or "addicted" but will experience mild relaxation.

What is the best way to give a dog VetHealth oil?

VetHealth oil comes in small bottles with a dropper, making it easy to measure the exact dose. VetHealth is best applied directly to the dog's gums. Most dogs find it very palatable, but in cats, it may be better to apply to the bare skin inside the tips of the ears for transdermal absorption.

How much VetHealth should you give your dog for anxiety?

To solve your dog's anxiety, it is best to contact us via social networks or e-mail with information about the animal's species, weight, and age because different potencies are available, so we have to determine the correct dose for your pet.

If you have a large dog, are giving VetHealth oil long-term, or require higher doses, a higher-potency VetHealth may be more cost-effective in the long run.

So, follow the recommended dose and watch its effect on your pet. You should notice a difference within an hour. If there is no change, contact us for dose correction. Don't worry; even after you give him the correct dose, your dog won't act lethargic; he'll just be calmer with less panting, pacing up and down the living space, and whining.

You can give your dog VetHealth, depending on the situation; for example, try VetHealth oil for dogs afraid of baths/cuts/nail trimming/groomers in general, about an hour before the appointment. Also, don't forget that VetHealth is excellent for pets with chronic pain (arthritis, arthrosis), allergies, dermatitis with reduced immunity, bad skin, inflammatory processes, epilepsy, etc.

VetHealth does not interfere with the administration of drugs and has no known side effects. However, if you already give your pet anti-anxiety medication or other conditions, let us know when you consult us about the dosage.
