What is CBD?
It’s an acronym for cannabidiol, a compound extracted from the flowers and buds of the cannabis plant. CBD doesn’t contain tetrahydrocannabinol, a compound that causes the high feeling associated with marijuana. As such, it’s considered safe for medicinal and therapeutic use. It explains the ongoing use of the compound in dog treats and supplements too. A study conducted at Colorado State University found that healthy dogs could tolerate CBD pretty well.
