USA Grown Hemp Extract for Pets
We have carefully researched the pet CBD and Hemp Extract marketplace and are happy to report that many clients have had excellent results using Happy Paws Hemp Extract. The CBD hemp oil market is like the Wild Wild West—-there are hundreds of formulas and most of the products are inconsistent, not rigorously tested and use imported ingredients. Most pet owners who have been very conscientious about not giving their pets food from China, for example, might not realize that much of the CBD from hemp on the market today is imported.Ingredients
- 1 Fl oz. (30 ml) MCT Fractionated Coconut Oil and 550 mg hemp CO2 Extract per bottle
- Approx. 18.3 mg CBD per 1 ml
What is CBD from Hemp?
Both marijuana and hemp are classified as cannabis and contain CBD. However, the CBD derived from the two plants are very different. CBD derived from marijuana contains a high amount of THC which is a psychoactive and produces a euphoria feeling. Hemp CBD has only trace amounts of THC and has the benefits without the unpleasant side effects and psychoactive response. Pet owners have used CBD for a wide range of medical and behavioral issues with their pets. We have seen owners see great results using CBD in place of traditional pain medicine for dogs or as a calming supplement.Pet can benefit from Hemp Extract for:
- Cancer (especially osteosarcoma)
- Epileptic seizures
- Pacing, anxiety or inability to relax
- Pain from arthritis
- Muscle spasms
- Recovery from surgery or illness
- Doggie Dementia symptoms such as Sundowner's
Why Happy Paws Hemp Extract?
When it comes to CBD, you get what you pay for in terms of purity, quality and efficacy. The hemp used in this pet hemp extract is grown in Colorado using organic farming methods and the entire plant is extracted giving your pet the full spectrum of cannabinoids. Every bottle of Happy Paws contains a batch number with a certificate of analysis. Being GMP certified ensures that the product is third party tested for potency and purity and guarantees that the product provides what it says on the label. Unfortunately, most CBD is over refined with chemicals and may contain more THC than indicated which can cause problems for your pet.It is also an excellent value and contains more CBD per ml than other pet formulas. Compare most pet formulas and you will see that the total CBD in the entire bottle is approx. 100 -250 mg vs Happy Paws with 550 mg. It's all in the mg--Happy Paws is a better value especially for medium to larger sized dogs.

The FDA issued a warning against giving your dog bone treats citing numerous reports of health issues such as diarrhea, choking, vomiting, intestinal blockage and even death. Most bone treats for dogs are highly processed with chemicals and flavorings and even though our pets want them, please try to consider other safer alternatives. A better alternative is raw frozen bones. Many raw food manufacturers offer frozen bones but even these should still be supervised. While very nutritious, raw frozen bones can be problematic for some sensitive dogs because they are very fatty and can cause pancreatitis. The safest option is to take a plain sterilized bone or Kong ball and fill it with canned food or treats. You can freeze to make it more of a challenge.

Ownership is
associated with a reduced risk for cardiovascular disease and death, finds a
new Swedish study in
the journal Scientific Reports.
For people living
alone, owning a dog can decrease their risk of death by 33% and their risk of
cardiovascular related death by 36%, when compared to single individuals
without a pet, according to the study. Chances of a heart attack were also
found to be 11% lower.
Multi-person household
owners also saw benefits, though to a lesser extent. Risk of death among these
dog owners fell by 11% and their chances of cardiovascular death were 15%
lower. But their risk of a heart attack was not reduced by owning a dog.

What frequently happens is that while the goal of the treatment is successful, the pet then develops OTHER health issues related to the food. For example, it's common for pets eating prescription diets to develop allergy symptoms and skin infections when they didn’t have them previously. Why? Because unfortunately the prescription diets are loaded with carbohydrates, grains and synthetic chemicals. Ingredients such as brewer’s rice, modified rice starch, egg product—what are these??? There isn’t one prescription diet that outshines another as they all contain similar fillers. What’s a pet owner to do? If your pet needs a special diet, you do have options for a natural food.
For over ten years, we at Ask Ariel offered holistic pet consultations at VCA hospitals and via telephone. With our extensive knowledge about pet nutrition we have formulated many diet plans using commercial brands that mirror the requirements of the prescription diets without using grains, chemicals or allergens. We welcome you to please visit our site www.AskAriel.com and if you include your pet’s diet on the order form at checkout with all of your pet’s current health issues, we can include a diet suggestion for your pet on the packing slip that comes with your product order.

It’s an exciting time of year to go to the mailbox. Instead
of the usually bills and junk mail, there soon will be some lovely holiday cards.
Everyone loves to hear from family and friends and it is especially exciting
when a picture is included with the card. Since pets are family, it's nice to include our four-legged family members in our holiday cards. Here are a few tips to getting a great photo of your best pal:
- Help your pet relax- Before the photo session begins give your pet lots of attention, let them play with a favorite toy or give them a treat. Making sure your pet is relaxed and in a good mood is your first step in getting a great picture.
- Get their attention- Obviously, for the best shot your pet needs to look at the camera. Try to get their attention by making an interesting sound (a squeaky toy often works well) but resist calling your pet's name or they may come running to you.
- Keep the props simple- A red bow around their neck, peeking through a wreath, sitting by a Christmas tree or playing in the snow all make great shots.
- Don’t use a flash- Flash photography and pets are a challenge, often the pet winds up with glaring eyes. Your cat or dog could also become startled and anxious from the flash. Use the manual settings on your camera to adjust lighting or choose to take the photos outside in the natural daylight.
- Take a selfie with your pet- Joining your pet in the photo will help them relax and create a fun, candid photo. For best results, hold the camera about a foot over your head and aim down, making sure to fill the frame with both you and your pet’s faces.
- Create the perfect holiday card- After you have “the” shot, make it the best photograph possible by using one the many photo editing applications to fix any imperfection.
- As an alternative to taking the photo yourself, many rescues and charities offer Photos With Santa at a reasonable cost. This gives you a great photo and helps save the life of a needy pet.

The holiday season is here
and with it comes a whirlwind of activities. Your plans may include hosting
parties and family gatherings or traveling across the miles to see family and
friends. As you enjoy the season’s activities, it is easy to let routines slip.
Unbeknownst to you, this change of routine might be causing your pet to experience stress
and anxiety. Pets are creatures of habit and notice far more than you think! This is often why pet owners end up spending some holiday time at the emergency veterinary hospital. You might notice that your pet displays nervous hyperactivity, excessive chewing, irritability,
accidents in the house or physical symptoms such
as diarrhea and vomiting. By anticipating the stress that can come with the holidays, you can plan ahead, keep your pet's routine as normal as possible and hopefully avoid any mishaps.
You can help ease your pet’s
stress during the holidays with these 5 simple tips:
Stick to your routine - Try
to maintain your pet's normal routine as much as possible. Our pets are creatures of habit and they may
become anxious if there is a sudden change in their feeding schedule,
exercise routine, bedtime or place to sleep (ex: when Aunt Bessie takes over the guest room where you dog likes to sleep).
Make sure to maintain your regular exercise schedule -
Exercise can help release energy and reduce anxiety. It will also release endorphins to help with restlessness
and irritability. Using Psystabil can
help too. It is a natural calming formula that can help your pet “cope” better
with triggers that cause anxiety.
Give your pet plenty of
attention - We all get busy during the holiday season, but remembering to give
your pet extra attention can go a long way to helping your pet feel calm and
safe.
Provide a safe space -
Regardless if you are traveling or having guests in your home, it important for
your pet to have a safe place. Try to plan and determine the best location especially if your pet is used to relaxing in an area where guests will now be residing.
Plan Ahead With Treats And Don't Change Their Diet - While it
is tempting to give your pet a “treat” during the holidays, it can also cause a lot of unwanted problems and result in an emergency veterinary visit. Be careful about where desserts and goodies are stored. Keep trash tightly closed. It's so easy for pets to get into things when you are busy entertaining guests. Plan ahead with treats so that you have ample supply of your pet's regular treats on hand. Keep Soothing Digestive Relief and Power Probiotic on hand. These formulas provide immediate relief for discomfort and help with diarrhea, indigestion, tummy rumbling and soft stool.
