CBD oil has a range of potential benefits for cats. Pet owners have noted benefits in terms of relief from stress, anxiety, seizures, discomfort, and mobility challenges, making full-spectrum hemp oil for cats something to consider if your feline friend is struggling. 

These benefits aren't present in every cat who tries CBD, but all products work differently for every individual. Let's take a look at the key benefits of CBD oil for cats:

The Benefits of CBD for Cats

The key benefits of CBD for cats are relief from discomfort, support for anxiety, immune support, and a potential application for cats with seizures.

1. Relief from Discomfort

Cats are notorious for masking their pain, and many cats will face mobility-related physical challenges over the years. CBD oil can support feline discomfort by influencing the experience of pain, supporting a healthy inflammatory response, and encouraging healthy joint function.

The combination of these benefits can lead to a holistic improvement in your cat's mobility health, discomfort level, and overall quality of life. CBD has shown to be safe for long-term use in healthy cats, and levels increase in the blood over time for the best results.  

2. Support for Anxiety

Note that CBD oil has not been FDA-approved to treat feline anxiety or any other ailment. That said, relief from emotional distress is one of the most-commonly reported benefits of CBD for cats. 

If you're looking to support your cat's emotional wellness, give them a dosage an hour before a stressful event or offer daily dosages for lasting overall support for daily distress.

3. Immune & Inflammatory Response

The endocannabinoid system influences the immune system, allowing CBD to make a difference and encourage a healthy inflammatory response. This can impact seasonal allergies, topical allergies, and more. 

Regular CBD use can establish a foundation for immune support in your feline friend. While results won't necessarily be overwhelming, you can rest easy knowing you're providing daily support. 

4. Potential Support for Seizures

CBD is used for humans experiencing seizures, and one FDA-approved product is on the market. Many people report that CBD helps reduce the severity and frequency of their dogs' seizures as well. 

Cats have the same endocannabinoid systems as dogs and humans, and early research is starting to suggest that CBD oil could have benefits for cats with epilepsy, although more research needs to be done to know the full range of benefits.

Conclusion

CBD oil for cats has four key holistic benefits for cats; relief from discomfort, support for emotional distress, immune support, and a potential application for cats with seizures. 

If your cat experiences these issues, discuss CBD oil as an option with your veterinarian. Lolahemp offers organic, full-spectrum hemp oil with naturally occurring CBD, formulated specifically for cats
