Hemp Use for Aches and Discomfort Associated with Everyday Activity in Older Dogs
As dogs age, it’s common to notice a slowdown in movement or signs of general discomfort from everyday activity. While aging is natural, many pet parents seek out safe, plant-based health supplements to help support comfort and mobility in their senior companions.
Supporting Everyday Comfort with Hemp
Hemp oil contains naturally occurring Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, as well as cannabinoids—plant compounds that interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). All mammals have an ECS, which plays a role in maintaining balance across various bodily functions such as rest, mood, and response to daily physical activity.
Pet parents often turn to hemp-based supplements to support calm behavior, mobility, and a healthy inflammatory response related to everyday wear and tear.
What We Know
While more studies in companion animals are needed, research in broader biological systems suggests that certain hemp-derived compounds may help support normal inflammatory responses and physical well-being. These early findings have led many to explore hemp as part of their dog’s long-term wellness plan.
