Hemp 101: Exploring the Endocannabinoid System in Dogs & Cats
Ever wondered how hemp might connect to your pet’s wellness? Dogs and cats, like humans, have an endocannabinoid system (ECS)—a network that helps keep their bodies in balance. The ECS, with its CB1 and CB2 receptors, is found throughout their brain, nervous system, immune system, and organs. Researchers say it plays a role in supporting things like relaxation, comfort, and overall harmony in our furry friends.
The ECS in Pets: A Quick Look
CB1 Receptors: Located in the brain and nervous system, linked to mood and comfort.
CB2 Receptors: Found in immune cells and organs, tied to the body’s response to stress or irritation.
Interestingly, dogs have more CB1 receptors than humans, making them sensitive to THC—which is why THC-rich products aren’t safe for pets. But hemp-derived cannabinoids like CBD (cannabidiol) and CBG (cannabigerol), with little to no THC, are gaining attention for pet owners looking to explore natural options.
Why CBD & CBG for Pets?
Pet owners often turn to CBD and CBG for their potential to support a sense of calm and well-being. These hemp compounds interact with the ECS in ways researchers are still studying:
CBD: Known for its popularity in human wellness, it’s now a go-to for pets too—often associated with relaxation and comfort.
CBG: A lesser-known cannabinoid, sometimes explored for its role in overall balance.
Together, they’re thought to complement each other in what’s called the “entourage effect”—a concept where hemp compounds might enhance each other’s presence, though science is still catching up.
