Greetings Humans, Please note a few of the photos are quite graphic.

Meet Tungston, the 9 year old boerboel has developed joint displacement over the last few months. He finds it more and more difficult to get up as he gets older. The vet recommended for him to get paracetemol along with joint powder each day. We really did not want to give him paracetomol,so CBD was a great alternative to relieve our big boys pain.
We could clearly see the difference in how Tungston walks when he didnt receive the CBD drops from Buddy's pets (we ran out for a few days then quickly ordered more). The difference is so clear and we're so happy that we can give our doggo a safe product that will not damage his liver and can relieve his pain. Buddy's has a speedy delivery system and I cannot reccomend these products enough! We also use this to calm his nerves during thunderstorms.

Greetings Humans. Been a while and I trust that everyone is well.

Just some Feedback from a happy customer :)

Meet Themba. The almost 40kg dog Themba recently had an operation to repair the cruciate ligament in his knee. He needed to be caged for ten weeks while convalescing – a very stressful task made much much easier with Buddy’s Pets biscuits and CBD drops. These effective products allowed him to be gently sedated so that he could heal without too much stress and unhappiness – for both him and us! I cannot recommend Buddys Pets products highly enough.

We appreciate all the feed back from our clients.

Greetings Humans. We continue our CBD educational series as we move on to horses and recent research has uncovered that every animal, including horses, have an endocannabinoid system.

Furthermore, targeting this system can help with pain management treatment, stress treatment, and more.

Endocannabinoid receptors can be found in two central areas: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. CBD interacts with these receptors in a unique and beneficial way.

What we’re learning now is that those benefits aren’t just for humans. In fact, CBD oil for horses is becoming a more widely recognized treatment in the equine community, and for good reason

CBD oil: What it is and how it works in animals.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of 2 major cannabinoids found in cannabis and h**p, 2 terms often used interchangeably. Humans, cats, and all mammals have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that includes 2 receptors, CB1 and CB2. CB1 is found mainly in the central nervous system and CB2 mostly resides in the immune and digestive systems. Cannabinoids bind too and act on those receptors. Studies into CBD and how it affects those receptors to improve the body’s functionality and homeostasis are increasing in humans and in our pets.

Greetings humans. Please Remember that we are currently running a special on all our products.

Even as more and more people promote CBD for health and wellbeing in humans, research is expanding into the benefits of CBD for cats and dogs.

If you didn’t already know, cannabidiol (CBD) has many benefits for human conditions. What you may not know is that CBD can benefit your cats and dogs as well.

In people, CBD has been shown to be effective in pain relief, mood management, glaucoma, and a host of other conditions. Research has shown that cats and dogs can also benefit from the effects of CBD.

All animals have an endocannabinoid system, which is a network of numerous receptors that regulate physiological functions.

To maintain homeostasis and hence a stable internal environment, the body creates endocannabinoids on demand.

These bodily functions fall behind the body’s demands when homeostasis is interrupted by injury or illness. Phytocannabinoids, which are abundant in CBD, can aid in the restoration of balance and pain relief.

Also remember that all out products are currently available at a discounted rate.

Whenever you take any vitamin, it benefits the body as the supply of that vitamin increases. This is the same principle behind CBD oil. It triggers the same effect in the body’s endocannabinoid system. As a result, it regulates mood, pain, and sleep.

The idea of giving CBD to a pet might not make sense to many, yet, it works the same way vitamins do. Humans and cats share a very similar endocannabinoid system. As a result, when cats use CBD oil, they will have the same positive effects humans experience.

Cats, epilepsy and seizures.

If your cat has epilepsy, they may experience occasional seizures.

Seizures are one way that the brain releases excess electrochemical energy, but they’re a frightening experience for both cat and owner.

One of the primary benefits of CBD is its neuroprotective qualities, making it an ideal supplement for cats with epilepsy. CBD is also considered to be an effective anticonvulsant.

Research conducted by the American Epilepsy Society indicates that cats with seizures who are fed a diet supplemented with CBD can reduce both the frequency and intensity of seizures by nearly 50 percent.

We all know how cats hate being taken places as it induces stress. Reducing stress from trips to the vet or groomer or for traveling can be achieved using CBD.

Cats are particularly bonded to their environment, and most do not appreciate having their security upended with traveling. CBD can be used situationally, as needed, to reduce stress at these times.

CBD can gently calm your cat without sedation, making trips to the groomer or veterinarian easier for both your cat and the professional. We recommend dosing your cat with CBD about a half hour before you intend to leave for your appointment.

If you are traveling by car or airplane with your cat, CBD can help them remain calmer and quieter without the use of prescription medications. If you’re planning a longer trip, it’s best to experiment at home beforehand to ensure you’re offering the ideal dose.

Old kitten 🐱 new kitten, or maybe even old dog new kitten? Many people with cats are turning to CBD oil for natural relief from a number of situational conditions.

Here is another example of how CBD benefits cats. When a new cat is brought home, friction with other cats in the household can be common. While a multi-step process for introducing a cats is necessary, CBD can certainly help with the initial transition.

It’s best to offer CBD to both the resident cat and the new cat to keep them both in a calmer state until the relationship has turned into a mutually positive one.

CBD works equally well when trying to get dogs and cats to peacefully coexist as well.

We really appreciate feedback from our clients. Blitzie is our 13year old Jack Russel who could play fetch for hours, and would beg everyone and anyone to play.

He has been having joint pain for the last couple of months, which meant he could only fetch the ball a couple of times before his joints started hurting. We started giving him joint and muscle support supplements but didn’t show much improvement. In February he had pretty bad inflammation his knee which caused him so much discomfort that he stopped asking us to throw his ball.

We started giving him buddy’s cbd cookies everyday, which he really enjoys. After a few weeks he is back to enjoying his daily fetch games, which have gotten longer and longer.

Thank you so much for giving this old pup back his joy, seeing Blitzie be able to run again has meant a lot to our family.

Todays post will be about Dogs with Pain

🦮🐩🐕‍🦺🐶

Probably the most promising research on CBD, is that done on pain. From nerve pain to arthritis, it works well without the harmful side effects of pain medications.

CBD binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain and nervous system and this helps change the way your dog’s brain perceives pain. Plus, CBD can help manage the other symptoms that accompany pain, such as sleeplessness and nausea.

CBD can also help manage acute pain from injuries.

❤️❤️ Today we look at dogs with anxiety. Also see our post with the Jack Russel Jannie Combrink who hates thunderstorms and when his mom is away.
🐕🐩🦮🐕‍🦺🐶

Anxiety is a common reason dog owners turn to CBD. Anxiety can appear in different forms, including:
* Noise phobia
* Separation anxiety
* Aggression
* Fear

Of course, there are anti-anxiety drugs available but CBD is being studied for anxiety because it doesn’t carry dangerous side effects.

Most human users of CBD take it for pain, anxiety and depression. Over a third of these users report that CBD worked “very well by itself.” CBD has even helped manage anxiety and insomnia in children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Animal studies show its antidepressant effects aren’t just for people.
CBD can work quickly given directly by mouth when your dog gets stressed. It usually only takes 5 to 20 minutes to work.

But CBD appears to be most beneficial for anxiety when given over a period of time. So if your dog is prone to stress, a daily dose might work best. A 2012 study looked at stress in rats exposed to cats. The rats given repeated doses of CBD had less anxiety than those given a single dose.

Researchers aren’t certain how CBD relieves stress and anxiety, but it’s thought that it can help regulate serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone that regulates mood, social behaviour, digestion, sleep and appetite.

Today some information with regards to dogs with seizures and epilepsy 🐕🐩🐶

Please also see our post about Bruno who suffers from bubblegum seizures who takes buddy's to help control them.

It’s estimated that about 5% of dogs suffer from seizures. They can be terrifying for both dogs and their humans … and they can cause anxiety. 😟😦😥

Most vets treat epilepsy and seizures with anti epileptic drugs. Common options are phenobarbital or potassium bromide. But these drugs can be harmful to your dog’s liver and other organs. Also, they don’t always necessarily work 🙁

In a Study where CBD was used as a treatment for epilepsy in dogs, a whopping 89% of dogs that received the CBD had a reduction in the amount seizures they had.

In human trials, CBD even worked in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. In one study, 7 out of 8 patients saw a marked improvement within 4 to 5 months.

CBD reduces the frequency and severity of seizures because of how it interacts with the endocannabinoid system. It’s believed that abnormal electric charges of the neuron in the nervous system cause seizures. But CBD binds to receptors in the brain improving how the nervous system functions.

Greetings Humans,

Today we continue with how CBD can assist dogs 🐕🐩🐶 and today we look at dogs with cancer.

Sadly, 50% of adult dogs will get cancer. Cancer is a massive health challenge for dogs, especially if they undergo chemotherapy or radiation.

Cancer researchers are always looking for new ways to treat cancer and release the pain and nausea that can go with it. CBD has been extensively researched as a cancer-fighting substance. A study in mice showed that CBD slowed the growth of mammary cancer cells. In 2018 researchers found that CBD increased survival time in mice with pancreatic cancer. Other animal studies show CBD oil has cancer-fighting abilities and can slow the growth of tumours.

In another study, cancer cells became more sensitive to treatment with CBD. That means CBD can increase the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatments. CBD also kills cancer cells by blocking their ability to produce energy. It can stimulate the immune system to produce killer cells that cause death in cancer cells.

Researchers also found that CBD blocks a cannabinoid receptor called GPR55. This is important because GPR55 increased the growth rate of cancer cells in mice. CBD oil can also help with nausea associated with many cancer treatments. And studies have shown CBD can significantly reduce cancer-related pain.

Dogs With Joint Problems
🐶 🐕 🐩
If your dog has joint pain, your vet might prescribe certain pain meds. But pain medications can cause deterioration in joints and soft tissues … and they can also damage your dog’s liver. They can also cause kidney damage. Plus, it’s not all that effective.

CBD is a natural anti-inflammatory that doesn’t carry the same risk of side effects as drugs. It works by binding to CB1 receptors in the brain. These receptors stimulate the immune system to reduce inflammation. CB1 receptors also change the way the brain responds to pain.

CBD also binds to CB2 receptors found in the nervous and immune systems. When this happens, the body may produce more cannabinoids naturally. This helps reduce inflammation even more and reduce the pain associated with it.

In fact, researchers at Cornell University found that dogs taking CBD for arthritis were more active and showed a decrease in pain.

Some of the common reasons people buy CBD Oil for dogs is as an anti-inflammatory for joint problems such as:

Arthritis
Hip and elbow dysplasia
Sprains and strains
Torn ligaments (CCL)
