As the popularity of CBD for pets continues to grow, it’s important to know the different types of CBD products out in the market and which ones are best for your pet.Three main types of CBD products for pets are full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate. In this blog post, we will explain the difference between these types of CBD and which one may be best suited for different pets.
Full-Spectrum CBD
Full-spectrum CBD products are made with whole-plant extracts that contain all the naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids found in the hemp plant, and may sometimes include THC. The presence of THC in full-spectrum CBD products is limited to a legal amount of 0.3% or less.
The combination of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids in full-spectrum CBD products is known as the "entourage effect." This means that these compounds work together to enhance each other's therapeutic effects.
Full-spectrum CBD is best suited for pets with chronic or severe conditions, such as anxiety or chronic pain. The presence of THC in full-spectrum CBD may provide additional pain relief and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it a good option for pets with arthritis or other inflammatory conditions.
Broad-Spectrum CBD
Broad-spectrum CBD products are similar to full-spectrum CBD products in that they contain a variety of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. However, unlike full-spectrum CBD, broad-spectrum CBD products do not contain THC.
Broad-spectrum CBD is best suited for pets with mild to moderate conditions, such as mild anxiety or occasional pain. It may also be a good option for pets who have had negative reactions to full-spectrum CBD products.
Isolate CBD
Isolate CBD products are made with pure CBD extract and do not contain any other cannabinoids, terpenes, or flavonoids. This means that they do not provide the entourage effect benefits of full-spectrum CBD products. Isolate CBD is best suited for pets with very mild conditions or as a supplement to a full-spectrum or broad-spectrum CBD product.
Which Type of CBD is Right for Your Pet?
At VetsGrade, we believe in using only the highest quality ingredients to create our CBD products for pets. That's why all of our products are made with solventless full-spectrum CBD. As previously discussed, full-spectrum CBD contains a wide range of beneficial compounds found in the hemp plant, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. By using full-spectrum CBD, we can provide pets with a more comprehensive and effective CBD experience.
When pets consume full-spectrum CBD, they are getting the benefits of not just CBD, but all of the other compounds found in the plant. This can result in a more well-rounded and effective CBD experience for pets, as all of the compounds work together to support overall health and wellness. In addition, full-spectrum CBD is believed to be more effective at lower doses than CBD isolate, making it a cost-effective option for pet owners.
Whether you choose a full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, or isolate CBD product, remember to always choose a high-quality product and consult with your veterinarian before use.
