CBD Horses Equinex

CBD oil is a natural compound derived from the hemp plant. It has demonstrated a number of health benefits for humans and animals. CBD oil interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate various bodily functions, including pain, inflammation and anxiety.

Each 30 ml bottle contains 25% (7500mg) CBD, specially formulated for equines (horses, donkeys, zebras, etc.).

Yes, CBD oil is generally considered safe for horses when used properly and in the correct dosage. It’s important to choose a high-quality CBD oil that is as pure as possible.

The WHO (World Health Organization) itself states that pure CBD is generally well tolerated and has a good safety profile. It is advisable to start with a low dose and gradually increase it as necessary.

The onset and duration of CBD’s effects can vary depending on each animal. Some may feel the benefits in just a few minutes, while others may take a few days to notice improvements.
For those using CBD oil as ongoing support or to treat chronic conditions, it is recommended to give it some time and maintain consistent use.

It’s essential to start with a low dose and gradually increase it if necessary. Keep a diary to track your pet’s experience with CBD oil, noting any changes in symptoms or improvements over time. Consult a veterinarian for personalized guidance on CBD oil if you have specific health concerns.

CBD oil can be beneficial for pets in a number of ways, including:

• Reduce pain and inflammation
• Relief from anxiety and stress
• Reducing destructive behavior
• Supports brain and nervous system health
• Reduce seasonal or hormonal aggression
• Reduction in seizure intensity and episodes
• Improved skin and hair health
• Support the immune system and help maintain the homeostasis of body functions

CBD oil can be administered directly into your horse’s mouth or mixed with their food (preferably with fatty foods), ideally twice a day.

The amount of CBD oil you give your horse will depend on its weight, symptoms and intensity. It’s always best to start with a low dose and gradually increase it as necessary.

This study Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Synovial Fluid Concentrations of Single- and Multiple-Dose Oral Administration of 1 and 3 mg/kg Cannabidiol in Horses demonstrated that orally administered CBD has a dose-dependent but variable plasma bioavailability and is consistently detectable in synovial fluid at the highest dose administered. The authors conclude that oral administration of CBD at doses of up to 3 mg/kg is well tolerated in horses.

However, based on some studies and empirical experience, it is suggested that you never exceed the amount of 1.5 mg CBD/ kg day.

It is recommended that every three months of continuous CBD administration, a 15-day break is taken.

The purpose of this break is to allow the horse’s body to eliminate any residues of CBD that may be circulating in the bloodstream. In some cases, the dose administered may be slightly higher than necessary, and this pause acts as a natural “reset”, helping to balance the levels of the substance in the body.

After this rest period, the horse’s body will be more receptive to the uptake of cannabinoids, optimizing their metabolization and ensuring a more effective response to treatment.

Many equine owners have reported the positive effects of CBD oil in reducing anxiety, stress and separation-related behaviors in their horses.

CBD oil can help manage chronic pain in animals.

This information is supported by this clinical study published in the Journal of Frontiers in Veterinary Science, “The role of cannabinoids in pain modulation in companion animals.”

This study, The Effects of Cannabidiol on Senior Equine Health, analyzed the safety and effects of CBD in senior horses, evaluating its absorption, impact on inflammation and immune response. For 90 days, some horses received CBD (2 mg/kg/day) and others a placebo. The results in horses given CBD showed a reduction in inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6), with no significant adverse effects on clinical tests or vaccine response. CBD has proven to be safe and promising as an anti-inflammatory.

Our CBD oil is not considered addictive for horses as it does not contain THC – the compound responsible for marijuana addiction when present in significant quantities.

If the dose is correct and the CBD oil is of high quality and THC-free, possible side effects are infrequent and, if they do occur, are mild and may include:

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea

If you notice any side effects, stop administering CBD oil to your equine and consult a veterinarian or contact us.
