There's been a lot of buzz about CBD lately, making all sorts of claims, but is it SAFE and does it really work? Well, it depends. There is a LOT of garbage on the market today, and it can be overwhelming to pick a safe and effective product and also to know what dose to give.
Luckily for you, I’ve already done the research. It was an exhaustive process to find a company that not only tests for heavy metals and for CBD/CBDA levels but is transparent with their test results AND one whose tests are performed by a third party lab that DOES NOT have a financial interest in their company. And I finally found one: ElleVet. I give their CBD/CBDA gel capsules to my fur babies, and I confidently recommend their products to my patients.
It has now been estimated that the majority of the CBD in today’s market contains heavy metals, mostly lead and arsenic. YIKES! Due to the expense, most companies do not even test for heavy metals. It has also been found that many companies have less CDB in their products than what's on the label. Already using a CBD product? Call the company you use and ask for their test results for heavy metals, CBD and CBDA levels. If they refuse to share them, it’s a HUGE red flag!
CBD/CBDA can help your pet with arthritis, atopic dermatitisand other skin conditions,seizures,stress & anxiety. In my practice, I have also used CBD/CBDA for its anti-inflammatory properties as well as in cancer patients to boost their immunity. Can CBD/CBDA help your pet? YES, but only if it’s the right product given at the right dose!
