MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Studies on using Hemp Oil for dogs with arthritis or seizures generally use a dose between 2-8 mg/kg, with most papers erring on the lower side of that estimate (roughly 1-2 milligrams per pound of body weight), twice daily.
This dosage has been found to be both safe and somewhat effective for just the conditions studied (arthritis and seizures). Additional research is needed to evaluate the necessary dosages for Hemp Oil in treating other conditions.

If your pet is currently on prescribed medication, please consult your Veterinarian before taking.

SUGGESTED DOSAGE
Because Hemp Oil shares metabolic pathways with anti-inflammatory drugs, it makes sense that it would help with certain inflammatory conditions (anything that ends with -it is is an inflammatory condition).
Osteoarthritis, often abbreviated as arthritis, is one of the most common inflammatory conditions in dogs.
One in four dogs will be diagnosed with arthritis in their lifetime, and by some estimates, as many as 60% of dogs exhibit some degree of the disease.
Research has shown that Hemp Oil can provide substantial pain relief in dogs with arthritis when given twice daily at appropriate doses.

ARTHRITIS
Seizures are probably the most-studied application of Hemp Oil in people, but limited research exists for pets. In dogs, seizures can be caused by a vast number of underlying conditions.
With regards to idiopathic epilepsy specifically, there is some research that suggests that Hemp Oil could be useful in reducing seizure frequency in these dogs. However, these benefits are only seen with dogs that are given traditional anti-seizure medications at the same time.

SEIZURES
In theory, the anti-inflammatory benefit seen in arthritic dogs could also be seen in dogs with other types of inflammatory pain, especially back pain from intervertebral disc disease (IVDD).

NAUSEA AND DIGESTIVE ISSUES
How Hemp Oil can help in treating nausea and relieving digestive problems?
Hemp oil is becoming a popular preventive remedy for upset stomachs in dogs. Recent research found that Hemp Oil can benefit dogs just as it would in humans. This is because dogs also have that endocannabinoid system (ECS) in their bodies.
ECS is an important part of the digestive process. It helps regulate the signalling and transmission of digestive biochemical substances in the body.
The ECS works by stimulating specific digestive receptors that affect gastric secretion, digestion and bowel movement. These receptors, CB1 and CB2, can work better with the application of Hemp Oil for ECS support.
That’s why when a dog experiences upset digestion, the ECS would require support in order to help the dog’s body cope with the symptoms. And Hemp Oil is one of the best sources of ECS support.
Hemp Oil works by releasing biochemicals that enhance the functions of ECS. It stimulates CB1 receptors to reestablish homeostasis—a state of balance in the body’s physiological processes.
In other words, Hemp Oil does not only help re-normalize the digestive process, but other processes as well. It has a more holistic approach that can benefit a dog’s overall health.
Aside from that, Hemp Oil is an effective pain reliever and muscle relaxant. It helps reduce inflammation in the digestive tract and joints. So it helps dogs feel better by restoring physical vitality.
Hemp Oil is also one of the safest medication options available because it is plant-derived and does not accumulate harmful by-products in the body.

Like seizures, the term “cancer” is an umbrella term that refers to an extremely diverse set of specific diseases, each with their own set of beneficial treatments.
In people, Hemp Oil has been studied for possible use in cancer patients, both to treat the tumor(s) directly, as well as to treat the secondary symptoms of cancer and chemotherapy. Very limited research has been done on the use of Hemp Oil for dogs with cancer.
However, the anti-nausea effects of Hemp Oil seen in people who undergo chemotherapy have also been documented in rats and ferrets, suggesting that dogs receiving chemotherapy may benefit from Hemp Oil treatment.
