Fun and Simple Games to Play With Your Dog

(a list to overcome boredom)

With all the time spent at home this past year, I think we can all agree that finding new and fun things to do around the house is no easy task. I’m sure our four-legged friends experience the same, if not more, boredom that we do. It’s a known fact that both humans and dogs alike benefit from mental and physical stimulation. Below is a list of fun, simple activities you and your dog can engage in to promote health and wellness.

Lazer Pointer

This is a favorite among our feline friends, but surprisingly a fair number of dogs love to chase that little red dot around as well. It’s great mental and physical exercise for your dog, and you don’t even have to get off the couch!

Hide and Seek 

This is a fun one for both you and your dog, and you can even include the kiddos! Simply find a good hiding place and call out to your dog so they can “find” you. To make it a little trickier, call out their name quieter and quieter the closer they get to you.

Lazy Day Tip: Don’t hide people, hide treats for your pup to sniff out!

Dog Park

 Dogs have a natural pack mentality. They need to socialize with other dogs as much as we need to interact with other humans. The dog park is a great, neutral space where dogs can run around and develop good social skills.

Marijuana vs Hemp

and how they are widely misunderstood

Oftentimes, when we hear CBD or Hemp, we group them together in our heads as “weed”. Hemp and marijuana are very similar, in fact, they are both cannabis plants! The only difference is the percentage of THC found within each plant. In this article, we will be diving into the often confusing differences between these two cannabis plants. 

Marijuana

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the active component found in cannabis plants that results in that “high” feeling. Marijuana typically contains more THC, with a smaller focus on CBD. Therefore, it is most often sought after for the “natural high” experienced when it is consumed.

Percentage of THC is the determining factor (according to law) for the hemp and marijuana plant. According to the federal government, when a cannabis plant has a THC level of above 0.3% it is considered marijuna.

Hemp 

Unlike marijuana, hemp has very low amounts of THC (below 0.3%)

Hemp contains more CBD and probably won’t get you or your pet high. Because of its rich CBD contents, hemp is typically used for its therapeutic potential. In 2018, the Farm Bill was passed, meaning CBD products can now be sold online with restrictions. One of the major restrictions is the amount of THC. 

It’s Really Simple:

 Conclusion

  Although the two plants are often mistaken as the same thing, it is evident that they are not. The key difference between the two is simply the THC content and the level of care that each plant requires. The major takeaway is that hemp provides the therapeutic benefit without the high.

All of our products are made with broad-spectrum CBD derived from hemp. With that, you can be certain that your dog will not experience any psychoactive effects using our product. View our store here.

5 Reasons to Give CBD to Your Dog 

CBD can provide your dog with a list of amazing benefits. With all of the information available, it may be difficult to understand the uses for it.  In this article, we will be discussing 5 common uses for CBD in pets.

1. Separation Anxiety

Because of CBD’s potential calming effect, it could work great with your dog’s separation anxiety. I like to give Moose (my 75-pound pitbull) a full dropper before I leave for work. It works wonders!

2. Joint Pain 

CBD has been proven to have a positive impact on joint pain in dogs. It has natural components that work great for older dogs with achy joints. We offer CBD pet treats which may be a simple solution for your dog’s joint pain. See store here.

3. Car Rides

We know some dogs out there who get freaked out from car rides. Especially car rides to the vet. Giving some CBD to your dog 30 minutes before a car ride may help ease their stress and may help make the trip more manageable.

4. Sleeping

Our pitbull, Moose, experienced a lot of nightmares before taking CBD. He used to yelp and flinch a lot throughout the night. Moose was abused by his previous owner and has a lot of anxiety that affects him today. CBD has helped a lot and now he sleeps like a baby. 

5. Chewing

If you have an issue with your dog chewing up things in your home CBD might be able to help. Dogs often chew things up because of pent up energy and/or stress. Because of CBD’s potential calming effects your dog wouldn’t be as stressed and would be less inclined to go on a chewing rampage. 

 Conclusion
