CBD and animals

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant and is increasingly being studied for its potential health benefits in animals. This text will review current scientific research on CBD in animals, relying on studies and not making direct claims of cure.

CBD and pain in animals

Several studies have investigated the effects of CBD on pain and inflammation in animals. A study published in 2018 in the "Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association" found that CBD showed significant improvements in pain relief in dogs with chronic pain and arthritis. The study demonstrated a reduction in pain symptoms and an improvement in the dogs' quality of life (McGrath et al., 2018) [^1^].

CBD and anxiety in animals

CBD is also being investigated for its potential effects on anxiety in animals. A study published in 2019 in "Frontiers in Veterinary Science" examined the effects of CBD on dogs with anxiety disorders. The results suggest that CBD is able to reduce anxiety symptoms and improve the behavior of animals in stressful situations (Murray et al., 2019) [^2^].

CBD and epilepsy in animals

The use of CBD to treat epilepsy in animals is also the subject of scientific research. A study published in 2020 in the "Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine" reported on the positive effects of CBD on the frequency and severity of epileptic seizures in dogs. The study showed that CBD, in combination with conventional antiepileptic drugs, can help reduce seizure frequency (Vaughan et al., 2020) [^3^].

Based on this foundation and numerous positive feedback, we have continuously developed TAMACAN to enhance animal well-being and to illuminate and highlight the potential of a very ancient cultivated plant called "hemp." A plant that should not be demonized for its beneficial plant ingredients.
