We know how much it hurts to see your furry best friend stressed out. Whether it’s the rumble of thunder, the jingle of keys signaling a car ride, or just a general sense of unease, their anxiety becomes our anxiety. As loving pet parents, all we want is to help them feel safe, secure, and happy.
The good news? You’re not alone, and there are gentle, natural ways to support your pet through those stressful moments. From unavoidable vet visits to surprise guests, let’s explore common anxiety triggers and how you can help your companion find their zen.
Understanding WHY our pets worry
Anxiety in pets can show up in many ways – panting, pacing, hiding under the bed, trembling, excessive barking or meowing, or even destructive chewing. Sometimes the cause is obvious, like a booming firework display. Other times, it might stem from past experiences or simply a sensitive nature. Whatever the reason, recognizing the signs and understanding the triggers is the first step to helping them cope.
Tackling Those Tough Situations: Timing is Key!
For those predictable moments of stress, a little preparation goes a long way. Our full-spectrum hemp extracts work with your pet’s natural Endocannabinoid System to help promote balance and calm. Here’s how to use them proactively:
- The Dreaded Rumbles & Booms (Thunderstorms & Fireworks): That sudden, loud noise can send even the bravest pets scrambling.
- ThunderShirts® provide a comforting, calming pressure, almost like a hug to your dog that they back with a 100% product satisfaction guarantee just like we do!
- For fast-acting support right as the storm rolls in or before the fireworks start, our CannaDrops™ are ideal. Administer them about 15-20 minutes before the event for optimal effect. The organic coconut oil base helps with quick absorption.
- Planned Preparation: If you know bad weather or a noisy celebration is coming, our CannaNatural™ or CannaNatural™ Crush (plain or Immune blend) products are fantastic options. Give these about 30-40 minutes beforehand to allow the beneficial compounds time to get to work.
- “Want to Go for a Ride?” (Car Travel & Vet Visits): The carrier comes out, the car engine starts… cue the stress signals! Whether it’s nausea or nervousness, these outings can be tough.
- Before You Go: Use CannaDrops™ (15-20 mins prior) or CannaNatural™/CannaNatural™ Crush/Crush Immune (30-40 mins prior) before even grabbing the leash or carrier. This helps ease the initial anxiety associated with the preparation for the trip, making the whole experience smoother.
- Company’s Coming! (Visitors & New Situations): A knock at the door or unfamiliar faces can be overwhelming for some pets. They might get overly excited, fearful, or territorial.
- Pre-Guest Calm: Help your pet feel more relaxed and adaptable by offering CannaDrops™ (15-20 mins before guests arrive) or CannaNatural™/CannaNatural™ Crush/Crush Immune (30-40 mins before). This can help ease the transition and make introductions less stressful for everyone.
Everyday Unease: Consistent Support for General Anxiety
Sometimes, anxiety isn’t tied to a specific event. Your pet might just seem generally unsettled, nervous in new environments, or struggle when left alone. For this kind of ongoing unease, consistent support can be incredibly helpful.
Our Organic Full-spectrum hemp products can contribute to overall balance and well-being day-to-day.
- Finding the Right Amount: Every pet is unique, but a great starting point we often suggest is 1mg of CBD per 10 lbs of your pet’s body weight.
- Frequency: You can offer this dose as needed to help maintain a sense of calm, potentially up to every 4-6 hours throughout the day if required. Observe your pet – you know them best! You might find a morning dose is perfect, or they may benefit from support before you leave for work and again in the evening.
