Cannabidiol, or CBD, has become increasingly popular in recent years as a natural remedy for a wide variety of ailments in humans. Now, its use in pets, including cats, has also been gaining popularity.
CBD is a non-psychoactive compound, meaning it won't give your cat the "high" feeling and won't make him chase imaginary mice, and has been shown to have a variety of potential health benefits, including reducing anxiety, inflammation and pain. It is also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and can be used to relieve symptoms associated with various conditions, such as arthritis and irritable bowel syndrome.
It should be noted that while cannabidiol can be beneficial for cats, like any medication it should always be used under the guidance of a veterinarian. Also, not all CBD products are the same and it is essential to use a high quality product that is recommended for pets. Here in Barcelona, there are many cannabis associations or weed clubs where you can get advice on the types of products available and make sure you are buying high quality compounds from a registered supplier.
