CBD Pet Treats

Does your four-legged friend have a little trouble at the vet? Maybe they're getting a little older, and their arthritis is acting up a bit. Maybe you know tonight's thunderstorm is going to stress them out, or the fourth of July is coming up. Regardless of the reason, our CBD pet treats are designed to deliver the relaxing benefits of cannabidiol — more commonly called CBD — to pets in a tasty, easy-to-administer form.

These treats are often used to help manage a variety of issues in pets — anything from anxiety to joint pain. By incorporating CBD, a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis, these treats can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the overall wellness of your buddy. And don't worry — this is all without the "high" associated with THC. Made with pet-friendly ingredients, our CBD pet treats are a convenient and delicious option for pet owners seeking natural ways to enhance their furry friends' quality of life.

We all want what's best for our canine and feline friends, and CBD pet treats can definitely help in that regard. They offer a range of potential benefits for animals, contributing to their overall health and well-being. Here's how CBD pet treats can make a positive impact:

They promote relaxation and reduce anxiety: CBD has calming properties that can help alleviate anxiety and stress in pets. Whether it's separation anxiety, fear of loud noises, or nervousness in new situations, CBD can promote a sense of calm and relaxation, making your little buddy feel more at ease.

Supports joint health and mobility: CBD can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain associated with joint issues, such as arthritis, which is pretty common in elderly animals. By supporting joint health and mobility, CBD pet treats can improve your pet's comfort and ease of movement, enhancing their overall quality of life.

Enhancement to overall wellness: While every pet is different, the regular use of CBD pet treats can contribute to general well-being by supporting their endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating a number of physiological processes in their furry little bodies.

Reduces symptoms of chronic pain: For pets suffering from chronic pain conditions, CBD can provide a natural alternative or complement to traditional pain management. By reducing inflammation and interacting with pain receptors, CBD can help mitigate discomfort and improve your pet's daily experience. We do not recommend trying to manage a pet's pain with CBD alone, though. Make sure you consult with a veterinarian to understand your pet's condition and ask them how CBD can supplement them.

Aids in digestion and appetite: Sherpa's CBD can also help alleviate gastrointestinal issues such as nausea and upset stomachs, supporting better digestion and appetite regulation. This can be particularly beneficial for pets with sensitive tummies or those undergoing changes in diet. Again, if your pet is showing signs of gastrointestinal distress, a vet can better explain how to manage their symptoms and tell you if CBD will help.

Improved sleep quality: Just like in humans, CBD can help promote better sleep patterns in pets by helping them relax and manage their stress. I'm not sure what a cat has to be stressed about exactly, but hey – laying around all day can be difficult I guess. Higher quality sleep will improve your pet's overall health and can even help them recover from illness or injury more effectively.

Easy to administer: Our CBD pet treats come in three different flavors, making it easy to find the one your pet prefers. And since they're delicious, it's not going to be hard to get them to take their medicine.

I do want to stop here and say that these treats are not going to get your pet "high," so don't worry. Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, making it a perfectly safe option for pets. Fido or Fluffy will be getting all of the benefits of cannabidiol without the risk of any adverse effects.

According to the American Kennel Club, CBD is generally considered safe for dogs and can offer several benefits similar to those we see in humans. Dogs can benefit from CBD's anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which, like I said above, may help with conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, and chronic inflammation.

CBD can aid in managing your dog's anxiety, reducing stress from separation, loud noises, and improving overall relaxation. No more cowering in fear during thunderstorms, and no more chewing the door apart while you're at work.

For cats, CBD can also be beneficial, although they can be a little more sensitive to cannabinoids. Similar to dogs, CBD can help your cat with anxiety, pain, and inflammation. It may also support appetite, which can be particularly useful for cats with health issues affecting their eating habits. However, cats metabolize substances differently than dogs, so it's really important to consult a veterinarian for appropriate dosing.

Dogs and cats aside, the use of CBD for other pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, or ferrets is less well-documented but can still offer potential benefits. These small animals may experience relief from pain, anxiety, or inflammation from the consumption of CBD, but because of their different metabolic rates and sensitivities, we cannot recommend administering CBD without a vet's sign-off.

You're here, which means you've already found the highest-quality CBD pet treats on the market today, but I do want to give you some advice for shopping around. If you're planning on giving CBD to your pet, here's what you need to look for:

Pet-Specific Formulations: You want to find CBD treats specifically formulated for pets rather than human products. Pet-specific formulations are designed with appropriate dosages and ingredients that are safe for animals. Sherpa's treats are sourced from the highest quality ingredients possible, ensuring they're safe, effective, and delicious to boot.

Check the CBD source and ingredients: You'll also want to review the product’s ingredient list to ensure it contains high-quality, natural ingredients. Look for treats made with organic hemp-derived CBD, free from artificial additives, preservatives, or unnecessary fillers. Go ahead and check the back of our packaging for our list of ingredients.

Verify third-party lab testing: All of Sherpa's products are tested by an independent, third-party laboratory to confirm the concentration of CBD and verify it's free from contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, or solvents.

Consider the CBD concentration: Take a look at the concentration of CBD in the treat you're considering and compare it to your pet’s size and weight. Our products provide dosage recommendations based on pet size, which we will get into more below.

Talk to your vet first: This is the most important point, and I'll repeat it several times. Before introducing CBD treats into your pet’s routine, consult with your veterinarian — especially if your pet has existing health conditions or is on other medications. Your vet will provide you with personalized recommendations and make sure that CBD is a suitable option.

All of our CBD pet treats are made with human-grade ingredients, meaning your animal friend is getting the highest of high quality. You can actually eat them yourself if you want, but we wouldn't really recommend it — they're right up your furry companion’s alley though.

We offer three delicious flavors — bacon, chicken, and steak — each with 25 mg of high-quality CBD to help aid in relaxation and relief. Keep in mind our dosing recommendations though, which depend on the size of your pet:

If you're picking up treats for your cat, we recommend cutting them into quarters or smaller. You should also try the chicken flavor first — that's the one cats have liked best. And remember, do consult with your vet before feeding your pet any CBD products. You want to make sure it's going to have the intended effect and improve your pet's wellbeing.
