The landscape of pet health is evolving rapidly, with an increasing focus on alternative and holistic treatments. Among the most notable trends is the integration of cannabis-based products into pet care, signaling a new frontier in animal health and wellness. Historically, cannabis has been used in various forms for medicinal purposes in animals, though it remained a niche area in veterinary practices. However, with changing societal attitudes towards cannabis and its legalization in many regions, there's a renewed interest in its potential benefits for pets.
Expanded Current Trends and Products in Cannabis-Based Pet Care The pet industry is currently experiencing a significant uptick in the availability and variety of cannabis-based products, catering to a wide range of pet health concerns. These products are being developed with a focus on safety, efficacy, and suitability for pets, reflecting the growing demand for alternative health solutions in pet care. CBD oils are among the most popular cannabis products for pets. These oils typically come with droppers or as spray, making it easy to administer the right dosage.
