Title: Close Characters: Yixing/Shifter!Reader Genre: Shifter!AU, Romance?, Fluff, Slice-of-Life Word Count: 2,902 A/N: A part two that no one asked for! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Time...

You try to sleep, knowing you needed to do it in this form before you ran out of time because you didn't want to spend your human hours asleep. You spend your time rolling around in different positions for about ten minutes, but to no help. Finally, you give in to your feelings and reluctantly pad back through the house, listening for which room Yixing was in until you find him in the living room, back on his couch and curled up with his phone. He sees you enter the room and he smiles. "What's up?"

Without replying, you continue approaching, hop onto the couch by his feet, then lay on your stomach and close your eyes. You feel his hand brush against your neck, but you shake him off. You hear him chuckle, before murmuring, "Okay, I understand." He returns to his phone but stays by your side and, with his presence, you finally manage to fall asleep.

It's been a month since Yixing became your owner, and you have to say that you both grew accustomed to the other's behavior and wants very well. He knows to leave you alone when you walk away from him, while you know to give him attention even when he's not asking for it directly. Like his parents said, he really doesn't stay home often, but he always makes sure to stop by to make sure you're alright.

"I'm going to hang out with my friends tonight, will you be okay all alone?" He asks after pouring you a bowl of food. As a dog, the things you eat taste differently to you than as it would a human. You still try to avoid eating actual dog food, though, the thought making your stomach a bit too queasy. For show, though, you eat a few before barking at him in reply. "Is that a yes?" He asks, and you go back to eating. "I'll be back around 11:00 PM, I'll set your dinner off to the side now so you don't starve while I'm away."

Like he promised, he was gone the whole night. The second he left you shifted to your human form, stretching languidly on the floor before standing up and walking into his bedroom. You opened his closet and rifled through it to find something to wear, and found that his clothes were only a little too big on you. Other than the too long sleeves and length, they fit you everywhere else. Or, maybe that was because you had breasts to fill them out and he didn't.

You settled on a baggy tee with a faded marvel graphic on it and pulled out the smallest pair of briefs you could find. You've done this as a kid, too, when you would sneak into family's homes and take their children's clothes while they were away. The only reason you felt dirty taking Yixing's was because you found him to be attractive.

In the month you've spent living in his home, you've gotten to know him more intimately than you've gotten to know anyone else. You've grown up alone your entire life, never getting too close to anyone and in the short amount of times you spent being someone's "pet", like his parent's, you didn't really care about them or their life and they never really told you about it anyway.

Yixing, on the other hand, does. Maybe it's because he truly is lonely, or maybe it's because he knows you are. For the most part, he rambles about what went on during his day, telling you about his co-workers and funny stories from his childhood. He'll tell you about his aspirations and insecurities, saying, "No one knows this but you." And at first, you honestly didn't take him seriously.

But his kindness and odd habits are consistent, and you realize that this guy is genuinely like his parent's described him to be. The only bad quality you could think of about him was that he was a little too clingy when you let him be, and even that wasn't necessarily a bad thing (just inconvenient for your heart). There wasn't a day that went by where Yixing wouldn't strike up a conversation with you, and after a week of this, you found yourself starting to be interested.

You enjoyed hearing about his reaction to things, hearing about his friend Baekhyun, who, according to him, was the "neatest, nerdiest one" of his "team". You found yourself caring about whether or not his boss Junmyeon would always be late for work, or if his partner Chanyeol would ever pick up his slack. You felt like you were a part of his life at some point, but always remembered at the end of the day that you were just his dog.

In a way, you know you've fallen for him, but you couldn't allow yourself to admit it when your ultimate goal was to stay hidden. You needed to keep under the radar until your drat awful guardians kicked the bucket. The reason you were so bent on being someone's "pet", no matter how humiliating it got (which, in Yixing's case, isn't that bad), was because you needed to stay away from THEM. You couldn't stand being under your parent's care; they were too strict, too scared, too limiting. They had a set path for you to take and you never wanted it, so you ran away.

With nothing to do really, you decide to catch a few winks while he's away and lie on his bed, curling up in his sheets. You noticed the first night you actually slept on it that his scent was all over it. Even as a human, you can smell the fragrance he leaves behind and you find yourself heating up because of it. For now, while he's gone, you let yourself bask in it, not fully letting yourself believe you liked it, but knowing that it relaxed you in a way nothing else did. You instantly slip into the world of dreams.

After a few hours, you wake up and see that it's 9:00 PM. Knowing you had two hours left until he got home, you decided to shower so he'd avoid trying to bring you to a groomer (he tried it once, but you fought long and hard until he gave up). After setting aside his tee and briefs, you step into the hot water and find yourself smiling. So far, you think this lifestyle will work out. You think you'll be able to do what you want. You've finally found someone you can handle spending the rest of your life with, and once he's gone you'll be able to take residence here instead. You feel a little bad for having these thoughts still, though, especially after growing fond of him, but you know it's for your best interest.

Maybe forty minutes later does Yixing arrive home, earlier than he said he would. Little did he know that his pet was in his shower still, enjoying her time alone. He sets down his keys and phone, glancing around his living room but not finding anyone. "Maybe she's sleeping in the room?" He wonders aloud, starting to make his way over there. He's about halfway through the door when he realizes he hears something.

He turns slightly, head tilting in that direction. Yup, there's no doubt about it. "Is someone in my shower?" Tensely, he quietly steps down the hall, slipping into the ajar bathroom door. If he had any doubts before, then they were all blown away as the steam him in the face.

Someone was definitely in his shower.

Whoever was in here must have been trying to be inconspicuous, because no noise came from the box except the sound of water and the occasional splash. Yixing wasn't sure what to do, if he was being honest. Should he call out to them? Attack? Let them leave on their own? Call the police? All these questions are racing through his mind as he walks closer, trying to catch a glimpse of who was inside. But, like it was supposed to, the privacy glass only gave him a glob, and in the dark, it was impossible to tell if someone was even in there. Had there not been splashing, he would thought he left it on accidentally.

He steps closer, closer, his hand reaching out to open the door when--

Rustle.

"Oh," He turns his head to his feet, where he knocked over a pile of... his clothes? "What the...?" Whoever was in there was going to wear HIS clothes?

Fed up and thoroughly creeped out, he yanks open the shower door and sees--

"Wha-- _____? What are you doing in there?" He asks you as you jump around excitedly in the water. Sighing in relief that it was only you, he turns off the shower head and brings over a towel. "Silly dog, how'd you turn on the water? Though that explains why the light is off..." Maybe he left those clothes out for himself. You shake yourself, expelling the liquid from your furry coat and getting the walls, ceiling, and him covered in water. "Oh-- ugh, you mean dog." He jokes, grabbing your head with the towel and rubbing it in revenge.

You bark, trying to move away, but he's adamant on getting you dry himself. Giving up, you allow him to do it, but only because you needed to keep up appearances. He was this close to finding you out. Had he knocked over the clothes you set aside and muttered to himself, you never would have heard him in time to shift back into a dog. You had kept the lights off purely for your own comfort.

"There," He says, finishing and tossing the towel in the laundry bin. "Now don't go and shower without me anymore, okay? What if you hurt yourself? Or drowned?" Oh yeah, like you'd drown.

Barking in denial, you hop out of the shower and pad bad to his living room, taking a seat on his couch and waiting for him to sit with you. Every night at 10:00 PM, he'd pull up the news and have you watch it with him. "I can't have my dog not knowing the current events!" He told you the first time.

As usual, he comes into the room to join you, except--

"You don't mind, do you?" He asks, blushing slightly. "I kind of held off when you first came but now that we're more comfortable with each other, I thought it'd be okay."

Since when is wearing only boxers okay?!?!

You're making a run for it when he suddenly blocks the doorway, eyes wide. "Wait, hold on, please?" He begs when you try to squeeze past his legs. "Just try it once? Things are always awkward the first time, but I'm more comfy this way." You run back to the couch and he sighs, but you bury your head in the corner because you just want to die. Of course you had to live with a dude. It just had to be a dude, didn't it? You thought about something like this happening when you first moved in, but thought you didn't have to worry about it because he never did it.

Oh, you were wrong. What makes it worse is that he decided to get naked after you started liking him a little more. If he had done it from the start, you may have been used to it.

"Ah.. maybe this is a bad idea." You hear him mutter when he walks up beside you to see you hiding. He sighs and takes his seat on the other end of the couch before turning on the T.V. "I'm sorry, but this is how I normally am. It was hard for me to change that when you came, so I'd appreciate it if you tried a little for me, too."

Eventually, guilt overcomes you and you hesitantly turn your head to the T.V. He doesn't say anything more and neither do you, instead both of your attentions stolen from the news story.

"Kids these days and their imaginations, am I right, Casey?" The news anchor laughs. "Get this, this just in, we had a six year old come over to our station and file in a story: their pet dog was a shape shifter!" Everyone shared a laugh. "Let's say that this idea is remotely true," The guy entertains the thought. "Maybe your pet is a shape shifter, too?" They move on to the next story but you're mind is stuck on that one.

What the fuck?

Some dumb little kid is trying to rat out one of your kind? Maybe that kid has mental problems, actually, because your kind really isn't that common. But then, maybe you are. You have been hiding your whole life, not interacting with many other people or animals... the thought of being found out makes you shiver unconsciously.

Unfortunately, your owner notices. "Are you cold?" He asks you worriedly. "That's what a shower at night does, I suppose.." He mumbles, before scooting closer to you. You completely forgot about his lack of clothes until he was at your side, your bodies touching and his skin releasing a noticeable heat. "That should be better."

Completely frozen stiff, you're rendered speechless as his hand comes to rest on your back, his fingers stroking your neck gently as he watched the remaining news. You were sure that if you were in your human form you'd be a blushing mess right now, and with that realization you can no longer pretend and hide it from yourself.

You're attracted to Yixing. You like him. Too much.

Maybe you should find someone else. Maybe his co-worker-- you could go to his workplace and find someone there. He's basically told you all about them. Chanyeol seems like a friendly guy, but too friendly for your taste. He'd probably bug you more than Yixing does. Hmm... Junmyeon wouldn't work either, considering he has a knack for forgetting things. Baekhyun seemed too neglectful, but maybe that would work out...

Your brain ran a mile a minute, so busy trying to figure a way out of your feelings that you don't notice when Yixing's eyes turn from the T.V to you. He's watching you, evaluating you, but for what, you don't know.

Finally, when it's 11:00 PM, Yixing calls it a night, and you've never felt so relieved to go to bed. You could honestly sleep forever if you could, and as a dog, you can sleep for longer hours, so even the nap you took earlier couldn't dissuade you from falling asleep again. You'd also have enough time to shift in the morning and back before he woke up, since you just recently did it.

You wait for him to climb into his bed first, before taking your spot on the floor. "You're not sleeping with me this time?" He asks you, sounding a little disappointed. You ignore him, staying in place. You hear him wiggle around for a bit, trying to get some shut eye, before he sits up with a sigh. "I can't sleep alone anymore. You've conditioned me to have someone near me." He whines, and if you weren't upset with him right now for being so damn hot, you'd have felt empathy.

He sighs again when you make no reaction and lies back down, trying one more time to sleep. This time he's quiet and doesn't toss or turn, so you think he managed to do it on his own, but then he's once again sitting up. "What if I put on a shirt..?" He whispers, too quietly for a human to hear, but just loud enough for you to. You perk your ears up, surprised at his solemn tone. Was he really that dependent on a presence now? "I'll do it..." He continues, his head turned to you now. You can tell by how his voice is reaching your ears.

After a moment, you give in (again) and find yourself jumping onto the bed. He smiles softly, starting to get up to dress himself, but you climb onto his lap and hold him down. "Wha--" He blinks at you in confusion, but you pretend not to notice. If he was really that insistent on being nearly naked because it made him feel better, then you weren't going to stop him. You were, after all, leeching off of him in every way. It was the least you could do as his "pet".

Realizing you were giving him permission to sleep how he was, he suddenly wraps you in his arms and hums contentedly, catching you off guard. "Thank you, Baobei, you're so sweet." He laughs, and you fight your way out of his hold in embarrassment. He releases you, but stays close as he lays on his side, beckoning you to come back. You watch him for a moment, looking for some sign of mischief. "Come," He says gently, and you pad over to him helplessly.

Curling up at his side, you make sure to face the other direction so you're not completely panicky at his proximity. You do your best to fall asleep fast, and listening to his soft breathing, feeling his warmth, smelling his scent... it all makes you slip away faster than a snap.

(The End... or To Be Continued?)

CBD Oil for Dogs: Why use Hemp for pain, anxiety, seizures, old age & more!

Little Jack the Boston terrier is scared of being left home alone...

He misses his family, gets quite anxious, and worried - maybe CBD oil for dogs will help him to relax? Let's find out!

This example of separation anxiety is a common problem for dogs and can result in you being upset too when you come home to a chewed up chair, scratched door or complaints from neighbors your dog has been howling and barking while you’ve been away.

We have spent a lot of time researching ways to help dog health issues and prepared this very long article to help explain the details around using CBD oils for dogs. We hope to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision about whether CBD oil is right for your dog.

How do we know about CBD for dogs?

We are Chris and Monica - a husband and wife team who love animals.

We own and work at our mobile dog grooming business. Monica is a Registered Veterinary Technician and Chris manages the business and financial side of things. We have our own 2 family dogs - Biscuit and Gravy who are both rescue dogs.

As dog groomers, we were constantly being asked about CBD for dogs by our customers - they were interested to try CBD oil drops, shampoos, etc... so we decided to learn more. We tried a few products ourselves...

Then, we worked with a chemist to develop a broad spectrum organic CBD oil. We tried oil drops on ourselves first, then on own dog Biscuit, who has arthritis and joint pain. The results were great!

What is CBD Oil?

CBD (cannabidiol) is one of the many natural cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. The hemp plant is a variety of the Cannabis Sativa plant species. Industrial hemp has lower concentrations of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and higher concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD), which decreases or eliminates its psychoactive effects. Relievet CBD oil products are derived from the industrial hemp plant* (which contains less than 0.3% THC).

Scientists know that cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid receptors located in the central and peripheral nervous systems of people and animals, which help maintain balance in the body and keep it in a normal healthy state.

CBD is not psychoactive, unlike THC which is. It can impact an individual’s psyche in positive ways. It’s apparent that CBD is a powerful mood-altering compound with potentially significant therapeutic properties. In short, your dog won’t get “high” from CBD oil but he may be relaxed without being intoxicated.

Limited pre-clinical research indicates that CBD may have potent anti-tumoral, antioxidant, antispasmodic, antipsychotic, anti-convulsive, and neuroprotective properties. CBD is believed to activate serotonin receptors, potentially causing an anti-anxiety effect, as well.

Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill It is likely that clinical research/trials about CBD’s uses and efficacy will increase over the next few years.

What is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)? Animals, similar to humans have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) which monitors a wide range of bodily functions. When these functions become unbalanced the ECS triggers a chemical response to return them to normal.

Naturally occurring, non-toxic CBD is similar in molecular structure to your animals own endocannabinoids and can stimulate your pets ECS encouraging it to keep bodily functions in balance.

The ECS regulates many of your pets bodily functions, some of which include:

Immune Response, Appetite, Metabolism, Sleep, Memory, Pleasure, Movement and Coordination.

Read our other article about the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

WHAT CAN CBD DO FOR MY DOG?

CBD may compensate for deficiencies in your dog’s health by supplementing the endocannabinoid system (ECS) to optimise a healthy mind and body. Dogs and CBD oil are a match made in heaven.

Many people who have used it say that they have found it to be particularly beneficial without any negative side effects. Our Relievet CBD oil for pets is also non psychoactive as it doesn’t contain any THC (the psychoactive compound in marijuana).

CBD oil is thought to benefit those who suffer from:

Pain (from arthritis, joint/mobility issues)

Inflammation/skin problems

Seizures/epilepsy

Phobias

Allergies

Depression

Anxiety /stress

Dementia

Sleep problems

Hyperactivity

Digestive issues

CBD may be able to help to relieve certain medical conditions and improve the health and quality of life for many. We recommend you try our Relievet CBD products for dogs.

You want to find organic CBD (hemp) oil in the products with no dangerous additives. We believe the best CBD oil for dogs are independently lab tested to ensure quality, purity, and consistency.

IS CBD SAFE FOR DOGS?

CBD can be safe for dogs, but some products are safer than others. Many CBD products for pets also contain THC, which at high doses causes toxicity in dogs. (Research)

CBD has been used for many years as a natural alternative to pharmaceuticals and can take the ’edge off’ when your pet is feeling pain, anxiety or fear.

Monica tested CBD oil on herself first and then tried it on her own dogs. The older dog, who has joint pain following a broken bone that happened when still a pup, appeared more at ease and could run around fine. The younger dog (only 2 years old,) gets upset and scared when he hears loud noises like fire engines sirens, so she tried adding CBD to his daily regime and that worked well - he was more relaxed when he heard loud noises.

Is it legal to give my dog CBD oil?

Yes it is legal to give CBD oil to dogs, now that the Farm Bill was passed in December 2018. See note above*. There are many potential benefits of CBD oil for dogs, including pain relief.

USE BROAD SPECTRUM CBD OIL FOR DOGS

The CBD oil for dogs we created uses a broad spectrum CBD oil, which contains no THC, but does contain many other potentially beneficial cannabinoids.

There are a lot of inferior CBD products being sold, some are derived from marijuana (unlike legal industrial hemp) and some contain no CBD at all. Independently lab tested products will show exactly what compounds they contain.

Learn more about our lab testing.

Dose Liquid CBD Without a Glass Dropper

Some products marketed for pets contain glass droppers and recommend that the cbd drops be placed directly in the pets mouth. Putting glass in your pets mouth could be a hazard, we chose to use a plastic oral syringe, which is specifically designed for dosing liquids safely.

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF CBD IN DOGS

Pending research on the side effects of CBD usage for dogs, here are potential side effects based on how CBD affects some humans.

Dry mouth: Research shows that CBD can decrease the production of saliva. For dogs, this would manifest as an increased thirst.

Lowered blood pressure: High doses of CBD known to cause a temporary small drop in blood pressure. which might make you feel light-headed.

Drowsiness: The calming effect of CBD may also cause slight drowsiness, especially when using higher doses.

Note: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved CBD and has not issued a dosing chart. Therefore, we do not know what size dosage would be toxic. Any medication or supplement carries the risk of a reaction. It is always advisable, when giving your dog something new, to start out with small amounts and then closely monitor the effects. Always check with your veterinarian first.

Can humans take dog CBD oil?

No - it is really not appropriate for products designed for dogs to be taken by people for various reasons, such as dosage and the directions / warnings on the product label should always be followed.

While it may not be harmful, it is better for people to use CBD products that are developed specially for humans. Consult your doctor.

HOW MUCH CBD OIL SHOULD I GIVE MY DOG?

See our CBD oil dosage chart and decide based on size and condition.

The right amount of CBD oil for dogs varies with the size and condition of the dog. The dose of CBD oil suitable for anxiety in dogs is less than the dose required to treat chronic pain.

Use this step-by-step dosing guide to see our recommendations. Please don’t ever exceed the recommended dosage.

Oil is the Most Effective Delivery Method

Oil is the most effective delivery method and is dropped directly under their tongue. It is far better than dosing with CBD dog treats which may seem easier to manager. The reason is that using an oil is said to be more effective.

Raw CBD oil tastes bitter, our Relievet CBD oil for pets uses an odorless broad spectrum CBD oil in an MCT carrier oil derived from coconuts to make it more palatable and enabling us to create a range of oils suitable for dogs of various weights. We recommend you dose directly under the tongue every time.

Can I give too much CBD oil to dogs?

No, it is unlikely. Follow our recommended dosage chart and you will find the range of options depending on dog's conditions.

We recommend you start your dog off slowly and observe the effects before decreasing or increasing the dosage slightly, but never exceeding the recommended amount. If your dog does accidentally consume too much CBD, consult your vet as you would for any excessive consumption issue.

How long does it take for CBD oil to work on dogs?

Typically, it will take 20 - 30 minutes for CBD oil to start to calm your dog for anxiety problems. For pain, it may take longer to start to work. Chronic and more serious issues tend to take longer (up to a couple of days) for the body to reset and then be kept in a normal healthy state.

What’s the best way to give CBD to animals?

For our CBD oil, a few drops can be administered directly in the mouth (either under the tongue or in the cheeks) using the oral syringe we provide. This is the way we would recommend as you are sure of the amount taken and there is no glass near your pet’s mouth.

Alternately, you can add to water or a food bowl. This is less effective as the dog may not drink / eat all of the contents so the amount may not be enough to take effect.

There are some CBD dog treats too but be careful that you know the percentage of CBD in them. It is common to lose track of how many treats you have given your dog.

Will CBD oil fix seizures in dogs?

It is too early to say for sure, but research is currently being conducted for the use of CBD to treat seizures in dogs. A CBD drug was recently approved by the FDA to treat seizures in humans.

The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation (CHF) is currently sponsoring a study, through the Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, to evaluate the use of CBD in treatment-resistant epileptic dogs. CHF hopes that this will be the first study to gain scientific data on the use of CBD in dogs with this condition.

Is CBD oil good for dogs with old age?

Yes, as it can provide pain relief and may act as an anti-inflammatory.

Using CBD oil for diarrhea can be worth trying for older dogs with digestive issues. In Monica’s mobile dog grooming business she experiences older dogs on a regular basis. One customer with two older dogs has been using Relievet CBD oil for pets for a month, told us about her dog's increase in energy and comfort in mobility.

Does CBD oil work for dogs with arthritis?

CBD oil for dogs with arthritis is believed to work well.

It can ease inflammation and pain associated with arthritis enabling them to move around more easily. CBD oil can also be helpful for other joint and mobility issues for pets. This pharmacokinetic and clinical study suggests that 2 mg/kg of CBD twice daily can help increase comfort and activity in dogs with Osteoarthritis. (Research)

Does CBD oil work for dogs with Cancer?

No, there is little or no evidence to suggest that CBD cures cancer, but it is very possible that it may help with symptoms and pain associated with cancer.

We had a family dog who sadly passed away a few years ago at the good old age of 16 years - he had prostate cancer and was in some pain and discomfort in his last few weeks. We gave him the medicines and painkillers as prescribed by our fantastic vet, who we trusted 100% to do the best for our much loved dog and I am confident that she did do her very best at that time.

The painkillers did have some unwanted side effects...

When I reflect back, I wonder if our product Relievet CBD oil for dogs had been available at that time, would it have helped too? I certainly would have tried the best CBD oil for dog’s. It maybe have eased his pain but maybe not cured the cancer. Maybe the side effects would have been less severe too.

What is the difference between hemp seed oil and CBD oil?

Hemp seed oil vs CBD oil for dogs?:

Hemp seed oil is made from hemp seeds and contains no CBD.

CBD hemp oil is extracted from whole industrial hemp plants. The plants used are specially bred to contain high concentrations of naturally occurring cannabidiol (CBD).

The primary difference is the amount of CBD that each contains. Hemp seed oil, although rich in omega acids, contains very low levels of CBD (typically less than 25 parts per million or none at all), while CBD oil can range anywhere from 2% to 99.9% CBD depending on product, purity and source.

Be careful to always check for third party lab testing on a CBD product for pets to ensure it contains CBD.

Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum and Isolate, which CBD oil is best for dogs?CBD products can be produced using different forms of CBD.

An Increase in Calls About Cannabinoid Ingestion Related to THC

As CBD tinctures for pets have become more popular, the “The APCC reports an increase in calls about cannabinoid treat and tincture ingestion, largely in dogs. Many of the dogs who have eaten more treats or more of the tincture than was recommended have shown clinical signs post ingestion, and those signs tend to be very consistent with pets who have had THC overdoses.” Read the full article here.

THC Toxicity for Dogs

We chose to use broad spectrum CBD Oil in our Relievet CBD oil for pets because it contains no THC, but it does contain a broad range of beneficial cannabinoids. We understand the benefits of the entourage effect but also the risks of THC causing toxicity in dogs. We have found that great results can be achieved without the risks associated with THC and pets.

What is the entourage effect?

The entourage effect is a proposed mechanism in which the cannabinoid compounds in cannabis modulate the overall psychoactive effects of the plant (principally THC, the main psychoactive component in cannabis).

Non-psychoactive CBD is believed to be the major modulatory component, reducing some of the negative, psychosis like effects of THC. It is also believed to reduce the loss of memory associated with THC. The idea of the entourage effect is widespread among the cannabis community, it is often based on conjecture and anecdotal evidence. Rigorous scientific research is still lacking.

CBD Buying Tips for Dogs

If you and your veterinarian decide that you should try CBD as a treatment for your dog, keep in mind when purchasing CBD oil that not all products are created equal; you’ll want high-quality CBD oil designed specifically for pets to have a better chance of it working.

Quality Ingredients - Not all products are created equal. Look for a product with organically cultivated US grown hemp derived CBD oil.

Lab Results - Look for a company who displays lab results for full transparency and shows you exactly what is (or isn't) in their products.

Safety - Many CBD for pet products re-brand the same product for humans and pets which include glass droppers. Our Relievet CBD oil for dogs comes with a pet safe plastic oral syringe to ensure safety and dosage accuracy for your pet family.

Range of Product - Look for a product which fits your pet weight, a product designed for a 5lb pet will be ineffective for a 150 lb Mastiff as they would have to consume very large amounts to receive an effective dose.

FINAL SUMMARY OF OUR FINDINGS ON CBD FOR DOGS

There have been and will continue to be many cases in which CBD oil has benefited pets, but it is not a magic elixir...

Research is still in the early phases, but is very positive in many cases. The industry is filled with misinformation and ineffective products, so it is important to do your research and buy from a reputable company. Remember to always consult your veterinarian before giving any new product to your pet.
