Safety Concerns Studies have shown that hemp-derived CBD oil has minimal side effects. Some cats that are allergic to grass can also be allergic to cannabis. This is rare, but is a possibility. Overall, cannabinoids are safe and non-toxic, even when taken for long periods of me. Check with your veterinarian if your pet is on other medica ons to avoid drug interac ons, especially for drugs that are broken down by the liver. How To Choose The Right Company 1.) Buy only cer fied organic to ensure there are no pes cides and toxic chemicals. 2.) Look for a cer ficate of analysis (documenta on that a 3rd party lab analysis was done) verifying the amount of CBD present and confirming there are no residual chemicals in the final product. 3.) Avoid products with added ingredients like chocolate, xylitol or alcohol, which could be toxic to animals. 4.) Know what extrac on technique was used. Cats do best with products made from CO2 extrac on, because there are no detrimental chemical residues. 5.) CBD extracted from the flower is the most potent. 6.) Select products that list the mg of ac ve CBD or full spectrum CBD. If the label only lists mg, it is referring to mg of hemp oil or hemp seed oil, which does not contain ac ve CBD. 7.) Support companies focused on holis c pet care and that provide educa on. 8.) Quality CBD is expensive. Cheap products may not lend the desired outcome. Caution Just because CBD has a posi ve effect on many condi ons, it is not the cure for poor diet and poor lifestyle choices! The key to good health is to stop doing the things that are leading to the dis-ease, such as processed foods, tap water and environmental toxins! It is me we stop blaming "others" for the condi ons we have created. The power to change the health of people, pets and the planet lays with us the consumer. What we choose to spend our dollars on is how we vote. When enough people "vote" to eliminate toxic products in our diet and environment (stop buying those products and suppor ng the companies that make them), companies will change what they provide.
