While spending more time at home over the last year, many pet parents discovered just how anxious their dogs are feeling. Is it that dog anxiety is on the rise or that people are just more in tune with their pet’s emotions?
A 2020 Finnish study featuring 13,715 dogs covering 264 breeds found that more than 70% of the participating dogs exhibited anxious behaviors.
- 32% of the dogs had noise sensitivity, with the most common fear of fireworks (26%)
- 17% showed fear of other dogs
- 15% showed fear of strangers
- 14% showed anxiety-based aggression
- 11% showed fear of novel situations
- 5% showed separation anxiety
Some of the less obvious signs your dog may be feeling stressed or anxious include:
- Suddenly becoming destructive (chewing on furniture, getting into the garbage, etc.)
- Excessive barking
- Irritable responses, such as biting or growling
- Inappropriate peeing or pooping in the house
- Becoming aggressive toward family members (humans and other pets in the home)
- Loss of appetite
- Lethargy
It is important not to punish or shame a dog exhibiting these behaviors. They are frightened and need relief.
Treatibles to the rescue!
The Organic Full Spectrum Hemp CBD Oil featured in all Treatibles products can help instill calm, promote relaxation and maintain normal emotional balance for dogs exhibiting anxiety, anxiety-based stress and anxiety-based aggression. For pets feeling out of sorts due to fireworks or thunderstorms, becoming reactive on walks, being frightened by people or other pets, becoming anxious in the car or at vet visits, hemp-derived CBD can be paramount in offering relief.
We recommend administering Treatibles an hour before a stressful event to help take the edge off. If your dog is in the middle of or just experienced an anxiety-inducing situation, offering Treatibles can assist in calming them down.
Dosage can vary greatly depending on each dog’s unique chemistry and the situation they are in. That can mean anywhere between 1mg CBD per every 10 lbs. of a dog’s weight up to 10 mg per every 10 lbs. of a dog’s weight. All Treatibles products are safe, non-toxic and non-intoxicating.
Other benefits of hemp-based CBD include supporting digestive tract health, assisting the immune system and enhancing function of joints and connective tissue. Treatibles can be instrumental in bringing calm, balance and ease physically, mentally and emotionally.
