Hemp cbd could help with calming down your dog’s anxiety. Contact us if you need more information!

With pandemic restrictions being lifted, many of us are returning to the office. This means no more daytime cuddles with the fur babies at home!

You might notice some changes in your dog as you go back into the workplace. Some signs of anxiety from your dog may include:

  • Digging
  • Barking/howling when you’re out
  • Excessive licking
  • Frequent urination
  • Pacing around the home
  • Destroying home items, such as the sofa

So what can you do to help relieve dog anxiety? Here are a few tips:

  1. First, consult with your vet to determine any medical conditions. According to PetMD, “Your veterinarian will first want to rule out other conditions that might be causing the behavior, such as brain, thyroid or adrenal disease. Blood tests will rule out or confirm possible underlying medical conditions.”
  2. You could also consider speaking to a dog trainer. This is because, “You will need to help your dog with behavior modification exercises and teach your dog to relax in a variety of environmental settings. Encourage calmness when your dog appears distressed,” PetMD also advises.
  3. Before you leave home for work, tire your puppy out! A good-old fashion walk or run can boost serotonin levels in your pooch.
  4. Leave on calming music throughout the day. You can find a lot of relaxing doggy playlists on YouTube.
  5. Consider hemp CBD for encouraging relaxation. As we previously wrote in Can You Give Your Pet CBD Oil?, “Just like humans, dogs and cats have an endocannabinoid system, which brings homeostasis (or balance) to the body. The endocannabinoid system is affiliated with regulating multiple physiological reactions, including inflammation, mood, and immunity.” Hemp CBD works by promoting calming effects via the endocannabinoid system. Hemp CBD is also suitable for pets because it contains less than 0.3% THC; high-THC products can cause intoxications in pets.

As always, we remind our customers to speak to their vets if they have questions or concerns about their animals. If you need further advice on using hemp CBD for pet anxiety, we’re available to help. Educators are in store and ready to answer your questions. Click here to contact us today.

Cheers! Want to try cannabis edibles or drinks? Talk to us if you need tips!

Many people assume that taking gummies or drinks with cannabis will lead to a daunting experience. Guess what – it doesn’t have to be this way!

When taken responsibly, edibles can be a great introduction to using cannabis. With the help of our educators, here are some first-time tips for consuming edibles:

  1. As we like to tell our customers, “start low and go slow.” Here’s an example: If you have an edible gummy, cut it in half, then only eat one half.  According to Health Canada, 10mg is the standard THC dose, however, the effects could be felt with as little as 2.5mg.
  2. Carefully read the labels because different strains could have different effects! Quick tip to know: sativa strains tend to be uplifting, whereas indica strains create the “couch lock” effect.
  3. It’s important to be patient with edibles and drinks. This is because it can take up to 90 minutes to feel the effects. In fact, effects can be long-lasting for about 4-10 hours.
  4. Don’t consume your edibles with alcohol. Taking alcohol and THC together could trigger further impairment and nausea.
  5. Keep CBD oil with you because, if you experience euphoric discomfort, you can add some CBD drops under your tongue. This could help with counteracting the high from THC.
  6. If you don’t feel well after eating an edible, don’t panic! For more on what to do if you get “too high”, click here.

As a gentle reminder, please lck up edibles away from children and pets, and never drive high. THC can alter your reaction time and mental perception. If you want to learn more information about recreational cannabis, read “Recreational Cannabis vs. Medical Cannabis: What’s the Difference?”

If you need help getting a medical cannabis prescription, please feel free to walk in or give us a call!

It’s not uncommon for customers to wonder how medical cannabis is different from recreational use. It’s a great question! So here we go:

In the end, it all depends on your purpose for using cannabis. Do you want to just enjoy the “high” effects of THC? If yes, then you would be partaking in recreational cannabis. Now if you want to reap the beneficial effects of cannabis, you would be using medical cannabis. In this case, you aren’t consuming cannabis for euphoric effects. Taking cannabis for health purposes could assist a wide variety of concerns, such as:

  • Sleep
  • Anxiety
  • Chronic pain (fibromyalgia, arthritis)
  • Depression
  • PTSD
  • Gastrointestinal issues
  • Glaucoma
  • Headaches
  • Appetite stimulation

Recreational cannabis in Ontario an be purchased through legal dispensaries. Medical cannabis, on the other hand, cannot be purchased through a dispensary. If you want an official medical cannabis prescription though, this would have to be obtained through a physician who specializes in this area of medicine.

Are you unsure where to find a doctor such as this? Come talk to us! We can help connect you with a medical cannabis specialist to determine if you’re eligible. Click here to fill in our online form if you’re interested in a referral.

Hemp seed oil is available in capsules. Contact us if you’d like to try hemp seed oil!

If you’re looking for a nourishing supplement, consider hemp seeds or hemp seed oil!

Hemp seeds do not contain THC and CBD; rather, they contain other nutritional properties that could contribute to both improved skin and cardiovascular health. According to WebMD, “The many health benefits of hemp seed oil come from its high content of three polyunsaturated fatty acids: linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and gamma-linolenic acid. Additionally, its ratio of omega-6 (linoleic acid) to omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) fatty acids is 3:1.”

Hemp seeds and their extracted oil are considered dietary supplements. When orally consumed, hemp seeds have these beneficial effects:

  • Pain relief
  • Lessens inflammation
  • Lowers blood pressure
  • May help reduce “bad” cholesterol

So how do you consume hemp seeds? There are many options, which our Canna Relief educators can explain if you pop by our storefront! Here are some simple ways to consume hemp seeds:

  • Capsules: cold-pressed hemp seed oil can be swallowed as a capsule
  • Seeds sprinkled over food: also known as “hemp hearts”, hemp seeds can be sprinkled over salads, yogurt, ice cream, oatmeal, you name it! Not only does it add nutrition to your dish, it can provide you with a light, nutty flavour!
  • Extracted oil: Use it as a substitute for cooking oil; or use it as salad dressing or drink it. WebMD reports that 1 tbsp of hemp seed oil contains a total of 125 calories.
  • Topicals: if you need to soften your skin, hemp seed oil lotions could help with this. Hemp seed oil lotions won’t clog your pores when used topically, so you don’t need to worry about oil buildup if you use it on your body or face.

Hemp seed products are currently available at our storefront in Streetsville, Mississauga. Click here to see the hemp products we offer in-store and online or phone us at 905-286-4420 if you have questions.
