So I’m happy that you decided to write about this topic and share it with people. It’s very useful and can definitely be used as a great source for everyone who is interested in this topic.
I will come back to your website again for sure and I’m looking forward to reading your new posts.)

Wow, very informative post! My girlfriend has a little jack russel chihuahua, about 15lbs. That dog means everything to her, and she’s getting older. Our dog gets allergies now and then, also asthma. It’s really weird, she’ll start like gasping for air for a couple of seconds then it’ll go away. I’ll definitely have to look into CBD for the dog, thanks for bringing this subject to light!
Great and very informative post, I had no idea that CBD can help my pet in so many ways. My German Shepard has allergies and I can’t give him certain foods, because he gets rashes on his skin. What do you think is CBD could help my dog with these allergies? And can these products be shipped to the UK or they just for US customers? Anyway, thank you for a great post, thanks to you I have learned a lot today.
Hi Marius,
CBD definitely can help your dog with skin allergies. It can not only treat the symptoms of skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, but also promote healthy skin growth.
According to second questions. Unfortunatelly, HolistaPet ships only to US costumets, however there is an alternative. I recommend to try a King Kanine products. Similarly to Holista Pet they offer safe and natural CBD products and they deliver to all European countries.
You can read more about King Kanine on my other post King Kanine CBD Oil For Dogs Reviews
Hey,
Really interesting I was actually looking in to how CBD oils can reduce inflammation (I was thinking for myself) My Alsatian actually has joint issues now that he’s getting on a bit, I had no idea you could get treats like this, as getting him to take the pills (crushing them in to his food) is getting to be a real pain. I’m going to give these a go instead!
That’s such a great post, very useful. I am very interested in using CBD oil for my pets. I have a cat with feline leukemia. Would it help him?
Hi Christine, yes CBD can be also use in case of feline lukemia. Form more information check out my post: https://cbdforpet.eu/cbd-oil-for-cats-with-cancer/
Hey Kamil,
Thanks for this informative post about CBD and its benefits to pets. first of all, I was not at all aware of the fact that pets also have similar diseases like humans.
Secondly, it was shocking that 1out of 3 dogs suffers from cancer, really a relief to the pet owners that CBD is helping to cure most of the pet’s problems.
Now I am seeing that CBD is becoming popular and many new products are introduced, but how to find out if CBD oil is pure or diluted?
Do all CBD oils are pure?
Regards
