Extreme weather events like hurricanes can be stressful not only for humans but for our pets too. Hurricanes Helene and Milton are causing a lot of anxiety across affected areas, and your pets are no exception. Sudden changes in barometric pressure, thunder, high winds, and even disruptions in their daily routines can trigger high anxiety in dogs and cats. Fortunately, CBD has shown promise in reducing stress and anxiety in pets during times like these.
In this blog post, we’ll dive into how CBD can help ease your pet’s anxiety during extreme weather, specifically focusing on Tayco Farm’s specially formulated CBD products designed for your furry family members.
Why Pets Get Anxious During Hurricanes
Pets are highly attuned to their surroundings, and even subtle changes can trigger fear or discomfort. During extreme weather, dogs and cats may pick up on environmental cues like changes in air pressure, loud sounds, and flashing lights. Many pets also react to their human companions’ stress, making the situation worse. Common signs of anxiety in pets during storms include:
Trembling or shaking
Excessive barking or meowing
Panting or pacing
Hiding or clinging to their owners
Loss of appetite
Destructive behavior
If your pet has experienced any of these symptoms during storms or hurricanes, CBD could be a game-changer.
How CBD Can Help Calm Your Pets
CBD, or cannabidiol, interacts with your pet’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a significant role in regulating mood, stress, and overall balance in the body. Studies suggest that CBD has calming effects on pets, particularly for stress and anxiety-related issues. This makes it especially useful during high-stress situations like hurricanes and other severe weather events.
The ECS helps regulate:
Mood
Immune response
Sleep patterns
Stress levels
By supporting the ECS, CBD helps to reduce anxiety, making your pet feel more at ease during chaotic weather. What’s great is that it’s a natural option, so you don’t have to worry about side effects that come with more traditional anti-anxiety medications.
