Over the last few years, cannabidiol, or CBD, has grown into a popular natural remedy. CBD is derived from the hemp plant, a variation of the cannabis plant, and is often used to treat chronic pain, anxiety, and sleep troubles; it does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient that produces a high. But aside from its proposed benefits to human health, CBD may have similar effects in animals. Here’s a quick guide to CBD treats, tinctures, balms, and more available at local retailers. Note: It’s always best to do your research and consult with a veterinarian if you’re looking to introduce CBD to your pet.
