Holistic Tails’ Savory Salmon for Cats

Our pets can experience anxiety just like humans do. Sometimes the cause is situational, like the addition of a new baby (canine or human) to the household, a move, or a fireworks show. Other cats may experience chronic anxiety from health problems, separation anxiety, or previous trauma. Feline anxiety may present itself as pacing, hiding, panting, spaying or other unusual behaviors. Left untreated, anxiety can cause symptoms like accidents, destructive behavior, or even aggression. 

CBD reduces the production of cortisol, a stress hormone that can trigger unwanted anxiety behaviors. It also provides a calming effect on your cat’s endocannabinoid system. CBD for cats is one of the best supplements for cat anxiety on the market, and can increase your cat’s quality of life by reducing both the symptoms and the effects of cat anxiety.

Arthritis is often thought of as a disease affecting dogs, but arthritis strikes both cats and dogs evenly. You might notice your cat moving more slowly, not being able to jump as high, or other mobility issues. Left untreated, arthritis can chip away at your cat’s comfort and quality of life. Age does affect the frequency of diagnosis, as older cats are most likely to be diagnosed with arthritis, but cats of all ages can develop arthritis. 

CBD can be especially effective for cats with arthritis, as it targets the brain’s vanilloid receptor. Pain perception is decreased by desensitizing this receptor, increasing your cat’s energy, reducing chronic pain, and restoring mobility. 

If your cat has epilepsy, they may experience occasional seizures. Seizures are one way that the brain releases excess electrochemical energy, but they’re a frightening experience for both cat and owner. 

One of the primary benefits of CBD is its neuroprotective qualities, making it an ideal supplement for cats with epilepsy. CBD is also considered to be an effective anticonvulsant. Research conducted by the American Epilepsy Society indicates that cats with seizures who are fed a diet supplemented with CBD can reduce both the frequency and intensity of seizures by nearly 50 percent.
