Is CBD for pets the same as humans?
Many owners do not want to use the drugs we use as much as possible because they have a strong risk of not only effects but also side effects for small pets.
In the United States, there are reports that giving CBD to pets relieves various pains and makes them feel better. A 2019 study in dogs with epilepsy reported that higher blood levels of CBD were associated with lower seizure frequency.
In addition, an online survey of veterinarians in the United States has shown that CBD is effective for pain, arthritis, epileptic seizures, gastrointestinal symptoms, anxiety and mood disorders, tumors, motion sickness, etc.
Anything that contains THC is not suitable for pets
Completely zero THC from hemp-derived CBD cannot be completely eliminated with current technology. Veterinarians have long warned that even the smallest amounts of THC can be harmful to pets. In fact, states where marijuana has been legalized in the United States have seen more reports of pet marijuana addiction.
Symptoms caused by THC include:
Pupil dilation
Hyperactivity
Growl
Drooling
vomiting
pollakiuria
In severe cases, it can also cause tremors, convulsions, and coma.
Dogs are curious
Dogs can say anything. There is a risk that taking too much CBD for humans will cause the THC contained in very small amounts to become intoxicating.
CBD without the risk of THC
Kriya Hops is a CBD-containing variety that does not contain from the enzyme that produces THC.
A recent study by Dr. Luisa Rocha of The Center of Research and Advanced Studies suggests that CBD may calm serotonin receptors, which trigger epilepsy. In fact, in rat experiments, synthetic CBD was able to stop seizures by 20%, hemp CBD by 60%, and Kriya Hops with all seizures.

Bioavailability
"Bioavailability" is defined as the percentage of unchanged CBD that reaches your pet's circulatory system.
CBD, in its original form, does not dissolve in water or plasma. Unfortunately, most of the technologies used to increase the bioavailability of CBD involve "changing" the CBD molecule. By definition, this does not apply to the concept of increasing bioavailability.
CBD Body Dynamics
The human and pet bodies are a dynamic system in which administered CBD is distributed between the vascular system (blood and plasma) and extravascular tissues (muscles and organs).
After oral intake, CBD is only partially absorbed in the intestines because it is lipophilic (fat-loving). It is not soluble enough to pass through the water layer adjacent to the cell. Even if CBD were to be turned into emulsions and nanoparticles, it would be strange to think that digestive enzymes and acids in the gut would break down the surfactant layer and not release CBD.
After CBD is absorbed across the intestinal wall, the blood in the portal vein sends CBD to the liver before entering the systemic circulation. The liver metabolizes CBD to the point where it cannot recognize it, or excretes some of it into the bile. This depends on the pet. This decrease in CBD bioavailability is called the "first-pass effect" or "ER".
