First of all, it is important to know how CBD can affect your cat. Research 20211 found that a healthy cat can tolerate up to 30 mg of CBD, but more research is still needed to understand the effects of this intake.

What do we know? Like people, cats have it endocannabinoid system (ECS2). This cellular communication network plays an important role in homeostasis, which means it affects everything from mood to immune response. Cats naturally make their own cannabinoids (endocannabinoids), but they can also be administered from external sources, such as CBD.

While we are still learning exactly how CBD interacts with the ECS, most studies indicate that CBD can prevent the natural breakdown of our body’s own cannabinoids. This helps keep your ECS working optimally so your body can better regulate itself. This means that CBD can support a more balanced mood, joint comfort and improved sleep.*
