Please follow the guidelines on the back of every bottle for dosage instructions. You can also find them here.

The rule of thumb for our bottles is to use 0.25ml per 10lbs of body weight, or 0.025ml per 1lbs of body weight.

So, to find your unique dosage, you can simply multiply 0.025ml with your dog's body weight.

• For example, if my dog weighs 62lbs, I would simply take 62 x 0.025ml = 1.55ml

As you can see, the recommended dosage would be ~ 1.55ml. However, you can start with half the dosage and slowly increase your way to the point where your dog finds relief.

Some dogs find relief with a lower dose, and some might need a higher dose. Every dog is unique, and there's no hard rule. This rule of thumb is here to assist you.

Understanding Canine Anxiety (Key Notes):

In this video, we unpack the intricate world of canine anxiety and its potential remedies, including CBD oil treatments.

1. Introduction: If you're here, it's likely you've been facing challenges with a dog that exhibits signs of anxiety. The journey to understanding these behaviors is a crucial one.

2. Recognizing Anxious Body Language:

• Tense Stance: Dogs often appear tense or hunched over.
• Tail Position: An anxious dog might tuck their tail between their legs.
• Ear Movement: Ears pinned back can be a sign of distress.
• Avoidance: Physically running or distancing from situations denotes fear.

3. Other Anxiety Symptoms:

• Physical Indicators: Excessive drooling, trembling.
• Vocal Signs: Whining, or even screaming especially when separated from their owners.
• Destructive Behavior: Dogs may harm property, and in severe instances, even themselves.

4. Existing Treatments: Medication is an option but not always a long-term solution. Some dogs experience rebound effects, leading pet owners to alternative treatments like CBD.

5. The Role of CBD: If you've opted for CBD treatments like the 'Happy-Furever Oil', it's vital to understand its function in the broader context of treating anxiety.

6. Addressing Avoidable Causes: Sometimes, your dog's anxiety can stem from factors that is totally within your control. Here's what you need to make sure you maintain every single day with your dog.

• Enrichment: Engaging activities for at least 30 minutes a day, such as food scatters and frozen kongs, can keep a dog mentally stimulated.
• Sleep: Puppies (up to 4 months) need about 18-20 hours of sleep, and older dogs require 14-16 hours.
• Mental Stimulation: This extends beyond enrichment. Consider training sessions, sniffy walks, and nose work.
• Physical Exercise: Tailored to the dog's breed and size, exercise requirements can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours a day.

7. Conclusion: While meeting your dog's fundamental needs, understand that CBD oil is a part of the holistic approach to addressing canine anxiety. Ensuring a combination of mental, physical, and therapeutic treatments will guide you toward a more serene environment for your pet.

Separation Anxiety Solutions (Key Notes):

Other Useful Resource(s): Ultimate Rescue Guide For Dogs With Separation Anxiety

In this video, we dive into various strategies to combat separation anxiety in dogs. Remember, when it comes to solving for your dog's anxiety, we rely heavily on counter-conditioning and desensitizing. While boring, repeated training and patience will help you go a long way in achieving progress with your dog.

1. Counter Conditioning Cues:

• Dogs associate certain actions with their owner's departure (e.g., picking up keys, putting on shoes).
• Introduce these cues and, before any anxious behavior begins, provide positive reinforcement using treats, toys, or play.
• This process alters the dog's association with departure cues, shifting from anxiety to positive anticipation.

2. Desensitizing the Dog:

• Begin with short durations out of the dog's sight, gradually increasing the time.
• On return, reward with food, toys, or play to foster positive feelings.

3. Enrichment Needs:

• Ensure your dog's mental and physical needs are met through activities like food games, frozen kongs, and food scatters.
• Pair these enrichment activities with departure cues to divert their focus and ease anxiety.
• Engage in calming activities like licking and chewing to help regulate their nervous system in tandem with 'Happy-Furever Oil'.

4. Creating a Calm Environment:

• Limit stimuli that heighten anxiety by covering windows or using earmuffs for dogs sensitive to sounds.
• Designate a safe space tailored to your dog's comfort. This could be a crate or another area in the home.

5. Professional Intervention:

• If your dog shows severe distress, such as property destruction or self-harm, seek help from a veterinary behaviorist.
• While CBD treatments can alleviate some symptoms, a comprehensive plan from a behaviorist can address deeper-rooted issues.
• Sometimes, what you need is repeated training, and patience, so don't expect overnight results. We are working against years of conditioning, so be patient with the process!

Conclusion:

• Often, I find that a combination of CBD oil, counter conditioning, desensitization, and fulfilling enrichment needs can significantly ease separation anxiety. These are the best natural solutions that wouldn't require damaging anxiety medication that may create reliance, health problems, or worsening anxiety symptoms.
• If you've applied these methods and still face challenges, consulting a professional is imperative for your dog's well-being.

Managing Canine Aggression (Key Notes):

In this video, we address the various forms of aggression in dogs, providing insights into recognizing them and suggesting safe management methods.

1. Introduction:

• Let's address the different types of canine aggression and what are the practical solutions to addressing them.

2. Types of Canine Aggression:

• Same-Sex Aggression: Occurs when a male dog shows hostility towards another male, but may remain unaggressive towards females.
• Dog Aggression: The dog displays aggressive tendencies towards all other dogs irrespective of their gender.
• Human Aggression: The dog may show aggression towards strangers or even familiar humans, with the exception of a trusted individual.
• Resource Aggression: Dogs can be protective over perceived 'resources', be it food, toys, or even specific humans. This form of aggression isn't breed-specific.
• Territorial Aggression: Some dogs are protective of their space, demonstrating aggressive behavior to ward off perceived intruders.
• Genetic Aggression: Rooted in breeding history, some dogs have inherited aggressive tendencies due to their ancestors' roles in guarding properties or livestock.

3. Addressing Aggression:

• Veterinary Behaviorist: Always consult a professional when dealing with aggression in dogs. They provide expertise, practical tools, and strategies to manage aggressive behaviors safely.
• Muzzle Conditioning: This is a proactive approach to ensure safety. Pairing a muzzle with positive reinforcement, like treats or play, helps dogs perceive it in a non-threatening manner. CBD products, like the 'Happy-Furever Oil', can assist by calming the dog during this conditioning process.
• Resources: The Muzzle Up Project is a recommended resource for understanding and effectively using muzzles.

4. Conclusion:

The gravity of dog aggression should not be underestimated. It's crucial to take preventive measures to ensure the safety of humans, other animals, and even the aggressive dog itself.

Collaboration with professional behaviorists and incorporating supportive tools, such as

CBD oil, are pivotal in managing and understanding canine aggression.

It's important to build a foundation of trust with your dogs. Trainable dogs become a lot easier to manage. 

Overcoming Dog Phobias (Key Notes):

In this video, we delve deep into understanding and addressing phobias in dogs, focusing predominantly on noise and car phobias.

1. Introduction:

• Phobias in dogs are intense fears of specific stimuli.

2. Understanding Noise Phobias:

• Common triggers: fireworks, thunderstorms, machinery, certain beeping sounds.
• Symptoms: cowering, fleeing from the source of noise, shaking, drooling.
• Rationalizing the phobia: Loud noises can be overwhelmingly intense for our pets, especially for the more sensitive ones.

3. Understanding Car Phobias:

• Potential causes: past traumatic experiences, motion sickness.
• Symptoms: Hesitation or resistance to enter the car, nausea, excessive drooling, anxiety.

4. Addressing Noise Phobias:

• Desensitization: Introduce the fear-inducing sounds at an extremely low volume, gradually increasing it as the dog becomes accustomed.
• Counter-conditioning: Pair these sounds with positive reinforcements like food, toys, or play to create positive associations.

5. Addressing Car Phobias:

• Desensitization: Familiarize the dog with the car by making games out of entering and exiting or by keeping the car stationary.
• Modifying Car Environment:
• Cover car windows or use a crate to limit visual stimuli.
• If not crate-trained, harness and seatbelt the dog for safety.
• Counter-conditioning:
• Pair car experiences with positive reinforcements.
• Engage in short rides initially to build comfort and confidence.
• Additional Tips:
• If using a crate, covering the sides helps reduce visual stimuli which often triggers car sickness.
• Incorporate food items or toys inside the crate for them to focus on during rides.

6. Incorporating CBD Oil:

• Benefits: We like opting for a more natural solution over anxiety medication can help mitigate anxiety levels.
• Usage Guidance: Introduce the CBD oil at least a week prior to any noise phobia training sessions to assess its effectiveness and establish a baseline.

7. Conclusion:

Overcoming phobias in dogs requires patience, persistence, and a thorough understanding of the root cause. Using techniques like desensitization and counter-conditioning paired with supportive tools, like CBD oil, can offer significant relief and a path forward for both dogs and their caregivers.

Addressing Common Behavioural Issues (Key Notes):

Dogs Demonstrated: Ridley and Hutch, two energetic English shepherds that have been with Emily through thick and thin (notice how calm and obedient they are around Emily).

1. Unpacking Behavior Modification:

• Objective: Pinpointing and rectifying undesirable behaviors, making your life and your dog's coexistence harmonious.
• Specific Behaviors in Spotlight: The usual suspects include chewing, perhaps your favorite shoes? Digging, turning your garden into a moonscape, that incessant barking, and the playful but sometimes annoying mouthy biting.
• A Necessary Clarification: By "biting", the emphasis is on the harmless, playful nibbling characteristic of pups, not the aggressive kind that warrants immediate attention.

2. Deciphering the 3 Root Factors Behind These Behaviors:

1. The Exhaustion Factor (Lack of Rest):

• Picture a toddler deprived of sleep; that's your puppy when overtired.
• Critical Sleep Stats: Puppies, especially those younger than 4 months, demand 18-20 hours of slumber. As they age (4+ months), it reduces slightly to around 14-16 hours.
• Pro-tip:** Like setting a baby’s sleep routine, puppies benefit from regular nap times. Adjust the nap duration as they grow older, ensuring they're well-rested.

2. The "I'm Bored" Factor (Lack of Stimulation):

• Dogs, like us, crave mental and physical challenges. Why This Matters? Activities that involve sniffing, licking, and chewing are therapeutic for dogs, much like how meditation is for us.
• Golden Rule: At least 20-60 minutes dedicated daily to enrichment activities.
• Boredom Busters: here are some activity ideas you can carry out to keep them engaged.
• Outdoor Fun: Scatter food in your yard, turning mealtime into an adventurous treasure hunt.
• Indoor Antics: No yard? No worries! A game of hide and seek with treats works wonders.
• Store-bought Solutions: Snuffle mats and frozen Kongs, designed to engage and stimulate.
• DIY Enrichment: Whip up a delightful mix of Greek yogurt, tender boiled chicken, or aromatic bone broth, freeze it in a metal bowl, and let your dog savor it.

3. The Confusion Factor (Lack of Clarity)

• Craving Consistency: Have you ever felt lost without your daily planner? Dogs can feel the same without a semblance of routine.
• Dogs appreciate routine and clear expectations. Sometimes, major changes in daily routines can induce anxiety in them.
• Using Body Language With Verbal Language: While we're chatterboxes, dogs are avid watchers. They lean heavily on our body language for cues more than our words. Therefore it's really important that you communicate with both verbal and body language.

3. Play: The Universal Problem-Solver:

Play serves as the strengthening link between you and your canine companion. It transcends mere enjoyment, offering practical benefits.

Successful training and fostering obedient dogs largely hinge on establishing a deep-rooted bond of trust and respect. When dogs lack trust in their owners, they are prone to display challenging and potentially destructive behaviors.

• Got a mouthy pup? Introduce them to toys, channeling that playful energy appropriately.

Here's a nugget: Dogs, during their adolescent phase (between six months to three years), could exhibit heightened fear. Play acts as a therapeutic tool, bolstering their confidence.

4. Being Consistent Is Easy:

• Consistency is Magic: Whether it's your approach to training or setting routines, consistency is the secret sauce to success.
• Remember, all you need is a mere five minutes a day of focused interaction. This can result in a transformative change in your dog's behavior.
• Take baby steps with your dog, and do it repeatedly whenever you can. Consistency and patience will help your dog massively!

Encountering grave issues like overt aggression or crippling anxiety? These require a deeper dive and specialized intervention, which we will cover in future videos.

Using Redirection For Addressing Behavioural Issues (Lesson Notes):

1. Introduction to Redirection Technique:

This video focuses on behavior modification, specifically addressing behaviors like puppy biting or mouthing, chewing inappropriate items, digging, and excessive barking.

Redirection is the primary technique used here. It’s a subset of a broader strategy called "management."

2. Management in Dog Training:

Think of it as being the “manager” of your dog's behaviors. It means offering them alternative, desirable actions to replace the ones you don't want them to engage in.

3. The Redirection Strategy:

Example: If a puppy chews on a shoe:

• Replace the shoe with a tug toy or a ball if the dog is energetic and ready to play.
• If the puppy seems tired or ignores the toy, opt for a food item like bully sticks, yak bones, or frozen food treats.
• You want to redirect the behaviour into something more desirable, while providing your dogs the outlet for them to be dogs.
• If you'd like to opt for something home-made, you can create Frozen Food Treats:
• Cream cheese, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, chicken, turkey, beef, eggs, rice, and potatoes are all dog-safe.
• Use containers like Kongs, Chilly Penguins, or metal food bowls to hold and freeze these treats.

4. Using Redirection for Various Behaviors:

• Biting, chewing, and barking can all be effectively addressed with redirection.
• Redirect to enrichment activities like food scatters or snuffle mats.
• If a dog is mouthing, redirect them to a food-based activity.

Now, let's dive into some examples of how Emily would address common dog behavior problems with redirection.

5. Addressing Digging:

• Digging is a natural behavior, often driven by a dog's prey drive.
• Dogs may dig to experience different textures or simply because they enjoy the sensation.
• Prevention Strategy: Fence or protect areas in your yard where you don’t want your dog digging.
• Alternative: Create a dig box (like a child's sandbox) where it's okay for the dog to dig. This gives your dog a healthy outlet and the set boundaries to satisfy their prey drive.

6. Tackling Jumping:

• Manage jumping by redirecting to food rewards on the ground, promoting four paws on the ground.
• You can also use a leash to manage jumping, not by restricting but by redirecting.
• Whenever a dog shows an alternative behavior to jumping, like sitting or staying, reward them.

Conclusion:

Always keep redirection at the forefront of your behavioral modification techniques.

While some behaviors may need stricter management techniques, always try to give your dog a fun, dog-appropriate alternative when possible.

Redirection in dog training is essentially about understanding and respecting a dog's natural instincts, then guiding them towards behaviors more suitable for our domestic settings.

Instead of suppressing or punishing a dog for their inherent behaviors, redirection provides a positive alternative. This method not only acknowledges their natural inclinations but also offers them an avenue to express themselves in a manner that aligns with human expectations. By consistently applying redirection, we reinforce positive behaviors, allowing the dog to understand which actions yield rewarding outcomes.

The effectiveness of redirection stems from its emphasis on positive reinforcement and its adaptability to various behaviors. It fosters trust, ensuring that the dog recognizes that the owner understands and respects its needs.

Over time, this approach leads to long-term behavioral changes as dogs naturally lean towards the alternative behaviors they've been redirected to. This harmonious method strengthens the bond between owner and canine, allowing for a more balanced coexistence.

Video #1: Introduction To Socialization (Video Notes):

Socialization is a fundamental process through which dogs, particularly puppies, are exposed to various stimuli, environments, and experiences to ensure they grow up to be well-adjusted, confident, and sociable.

During the initial stages of a dog's life, specifically from eight weeks to about the first year, with an emphasis on the initial four months, their brains are exceptionally receptive.

This period, often referred to by trainers and canine professionals as the "socialization window," is the optimal time to expose the dog to different sights, sounds, smells, people, animals, and environments. The experiences gained during this window can significantly shape a dog's behavior, reactions, and comfort levels throughout their lives.

Socialization is crucial for numerous reasons:

1. Prevents Fear and Phobias: Regular positive exposures during this period can prevent dogs from developing irrational fears or phobias towards everyday things, like the sound of a vacuum cleaner or the presence of strangers.

2. Promotes Well-adjusted Behavior: A well-socialized dog is less likely to exhibit aggressive behaviors or anxiety-driven disorders.

3. Ensures Positive Interactions: It helps them positively interact with other dogs, animals, and humans, ensuring that outings, vet visits, or gatherings remain stress-free and enjoyable.

4. Flexible Coping Mechanisms: Dogs that have been exposed to various situations during their socialization window are more likely to handle new or unexpected situations with composure.

5. Improves Quality of Life: Socialized dogs have richer experiences and can participate in a wider range of activities with their owners, from park visits to road trips.

However, while early exposure is beneficial, it's essential to remember that genetics plays a significant role in determining a dog's temperament and behavior. Some dogs might naturally be more anxious or wary despite early socialization. And while it's still possible to socialize adult dogs, ingrained behaviors or fears might be more challenging to address than with a puppy.

Socialization is a foundational aspect of dog rearing and training, ensuring our canine companions lead happy, healthy, and balanced lives.

Passive Socialization (Video Notes):

In this lesson, we delve into the concept of "passive socialization." Passive socialization, at its core, revolves around gently introducing a dog—whether a young puppy or an older rescue—to new environments and experiences without overwhelming them. This is a stark contrast to an active approach where a dog might be introduced to stimuli more directly.

Method:

• Take dog to unfamiliar yet peaceful places (e.g., quiet park, less populated areas).
• Allow dog to observe and absorb surroundings at their pace.
• Reward them for voluntary eye contact to strengthen your connection.

Purpose:

• Helps dogs understand and feel safe in their environment.
• Builds trust and reassurance with the handler.

Science:

• Understands dog's cognitive and emotional responses.
• Avoids rapid stimuli to respect dog's threshold.
• Gradual exposure builds confidence and desensitizes dogs to new stimuli.

Older Rescue Dogs:

• Especially beneficial for those with traumatic pasts or limited experiences.
• Passive approach helps reduce heightened reactions like cowering or defensive behaviors.
• Provides time to build confidence.

Young Puppies:

• Generally have a higher exploration threshold.
• Observe body language for:
• Positive signs: Relaxation, curiosity, forward posture.
• Negative signs: Stress or discomfort, which indicates need for greater distance from stimuli.

The end goal, regardless of the dog's age or background, is to nurture a bond of trust and reassurance. When a dog looks back at their handler amidst new experiences, it's a request for guidance or validation. Recognizing and rewarding these moments fosters a stronger bond and more confident, well-adjusted behavior in various environments.

Video #3: Socialization With Other Dogs (Video Notes):

Introduction:

• Socializing dogs with other dogs requires careful observation and understanding of canine body language.

Signs of Discomfort:

• Stiffness (often seen in puppies).
• Tail: Upright and brisk wagging ("flagging").
• Ears: Forward-pointing and erect.
• Face: Visible stress lines, resembling a scowl.

Initial Approaches:

• Avoid head-on confrontations during initial meetings – seen as threatening.
• For new puppies, avoid immediate face-to-face introductions; greet from a distance.

Ideal Introduction Settings:

• Neutral outdoor territory for household dog meeting new puppy.
• Older dog leading the new puppy into the house.
• When introducing puppies to external dogs, start at a safe distance and gradually reduce it.

Parallel Walking:

• Optimal greeting method.
• Dogs walk next to each other, alternating between leading and following.
• Once trust is built, introduce them in a fenced area off-leash with flat collars.

On-leash Greetings:

• Advisable to avoid, as they can cause unwanted behaviors like pulling.

Dog Parks:

• Pros and cons: They seem ideal but house a mix of dogs with unknown temperaments.
• Risks: High chances of negative encounters and possible aggressive tendencies.
• Owners often misinterpret canine behaviors, confusing aggression for play.

Dog Park TV" Method:

• Observe other dogs from a distance.
• Useful for dogs with strong reactions to others.
• Adjust distance based on comfort and reward calm behavior to desensitize and train neutral reactions.

Conclusion:

• Dog-to-dog socialization requires vigilance, patience, and a strong knowledge of canine body language.
• Ensure positive interactions by being proactive, recognizing discomfort signs, and handling introductions carefully.

Video #4: Socialization With Humans (Video Notes):

Introduction:

• Socialization with humans (adults and children) is crucial for a dog's upbringing and well-being.
• Aids in creating harmonious interactions.

Key Principle:

• Let the dog take the lead in interactions.
• Avoid forcing any interaction; respect dog's boundaries to reduce stress.

Misconception about Food Lures:

• Not advisable to use food to entice dogs through strangers.
• Can lead to discomfort or potential aggression, especially in wary or fearful dogs.

Human Approach:

• Avoid direct, head-on approaches which can intimidate dogs.
• Sideways approach and avoiding direct eye contact is preferred.

Canine Body Language:

• Signs of discomfort/stress: Lip-licking, 'whale eye', specific tail wags.
• Signs of willingness: Relaxed posture, forward-leaning, open body language.

Puppies:

• Balance is needed to prevent over-reliance on external social feedback.
• Controlled interactions recommended; e.g., puppy sits as person approaches sideways.

Rescue Dogs:

• Patience is vital due to potential past experiences.
• Responses vary; some might be eager, others need time to adjust.

Advocacy:

• Essential to ensure strangers respect the dog's space.
• Intervene if others (including dogs) intrude.

Resources:

• "Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide" helps decode dog cues.

Conclusion:

• Every dog is unique in their sociability.
• Respectful, understanding, and patient approach is key for positive and enriching experiences.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound found in cannabis plants. Happy-Furever's Full-Spectrum CBD, is a formulation that contains not just CBD but also a range of other cannabinoids, terpenes, and phytochemicals found in the cannabis plant.

The Entourage Effect:

• Happy-Furever’s Full-Spectrum CBD benefits dogs through something known as the "entourage effect."
• This effect suggests that CBD, when combined with other cannabis compounds, works more effectively than it would on its own. The various components of the cannabis plant work in synergy to enhance the therapeutic effects of each other.
• In other words, the full spectrum of cannabinoids, including a safe level of THC (below 0.3%), terpenes, and other cannabis constituents, work together to bolster the beneficial effects on your dog's health.

Dog’s Endocannabinoid System:

• Dogs, like humans, have an endocannabinoid system (ECS). This complex network of receptors (CB1 and CB2 receptors) and endogenous chemicals is responsible for maintaining balance and healthy functioning within the body.
• It regulates and influences a variety of physiological processes including mood, appetite, pain sensation, and the immune system response.

How CBD Benefits Dogs:

• When CBD is introduced to a dog’s body, it interacts with the ECS, specifically the cannabinoid receptors. CBD influences them indirectly and increases the levels of endocannabinoids in the body. This can lead to various health benefits, such as:

• Reducing Anxiety: CBD has been shown to help reduce anxiety in dogs, which can be beneficial in various stressful situations like thunderstorms, fireworks, or separation from owners.

• Pain Relief: It can offer pain relief, particularly in cases of inflammation, arthritis, or neuropathy.

• Anti-inflammatory Properties: CBD may help in reducing inflammation throughout the body, which is especially beneficial for dogs with inflammatory conditions.

• Supporting Neurological Health: CBD is also believed to provide neuroprotective effects, which can help senior dogs with cognitive dysfunction syndrome (similar to Alzheimer’s in humans) or help in managing seizures.

• Boosting Overall Wellness: By promoting homeostasis, CBD can generally enhance the overall well-being of dogs, supporting healthier joints, skin, and fur.

It's important to note that while Full-Spectrum CBD has potential benefits, it should be used responsibly and always start at a lower dosage before increasing with time, as dogs may be sensitive to oils in general. Always ensure the CBD product is of high quality and specifically formulated for pets to avoid harmful additives and ensure proper dosage (just like Happy-Furever, ensure there's a Certificate of Analysis).

(1) Apply directly on dog food - drop it on their food and mix it well.

• Recommended for picky dogs with sensitive digestive systems.
• Least bioavailability.
• 45 - 90 minutes to take effect.*

(2) You can apply directly on the mouth after food.

• Recommended for highest bioavailability & effectiveness.
• 20 - 60 minutes to take effect.

(3) Apply directly onto treat - trick or treat?

• The next most bioavailable option.
• 45 - 90 minutes to take effect.

*Important note: dogs may be sensitive to oils in general, always start at a low dosage, and slowly increase with time.

If you are considering adding CBD Happy-Furever™ to your dog's health regimen and they are currently on medication, while it's safe to do so, here are some considerations to keep in mind!

Complementary Use:

• CBD is not a prescription medication; it is a supplement. Many pet owners have found it beneficial to use CBD Happy-Furever™ alongside their dog’s existing medications.
• It is crucial, however, to understand that CBD should not be used as a substitute for prescribed medications unless specifically directed by a veterinarian. With that being said, you can undoubtedly use CBD to wean off the use of certain medications like anxiety medication or NSAIDs (painkillers/anti-inflammatory medication).

Veterinary Guidance:

• Not all veterinarians may be fully aware of the potential benefits of CBD as vets are not allowed to prescribe CBD Oil as it's not considered a prescription drug, and many vets would rather just adopt a 'do no harm' approach to protect their patients and their practice.
• Therefore, when discussing CBD with your vet, it's helpful to come from a place of seeking guidance rather than expecting them to advocate for its use.
• This approach allows you to take responsibility for the choice while seeking their professional insight on how to do so safely.

CBD and Medication Interactions:

• Understanding the interaction of CBD with other medications is crucial. CBD is a known competitive inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 enzyme system in the liver, which metabolizes many pharmaceuticals.
• This means that if your dog is on medication, CBD could lead to the effect of 'potentiation', where the drugs become more effective, stronger, or last longer than intended.
• This can be beneficial as it allows for lower dosages, reduced side-effects and enhanced therapeutic outcomes due to the synergistic effects of CBD and medications.

Administration and Dosage:

• Always administer CBD separately from your dog's medications to avoid immediate interactions.
• This means giving them at different times of the day.
• Also, never consider CBD a complete replacement for traditional treatments, especially in urgent situations that require medical intervention.

To sum up, while CBD Happy-Furever™ can be a valuable addition to your dog's wellness routine, it is important to keep these considerations in mind, and should you want to approach your vet, always approach with the frame of taking responsibility so that they feel safe to advise you on how to proceed.

We have had many breakthroughs and case studies of dog owners using CBD Happy-Furever™ with their sick and ailing dogs that are on medication, and the transformations are amazing!

Well, the good news is that our oils have a natural bacon flavor to help dogs better enjoy the product. But dogs in general can be averse to oils and CBD, and it's totally normal!

So, in the rare event that they do not like it… Simply mix it with their meals or condition them to enjoy the dosage by rewarding them with a high-value treat after using the oils orally. 

This way, they can associate the experience as a positive one. It’s 100% possible to administer the oil to your dogs, no matter how picky they are. It’s only a matter of training and conditioning. As dog parents, it's essential to understand that our dogs behave like young children and do not have the cognitive abilities to understand what's good for them. 

You know; they hate going to the vet, eating medication, brushing their teeth, or doing any sort of grooming… But we all know how important this is to their health and well-being… You don't stop doing these activities just because they don't like it, right? And you know very well that they would devour an entire jar of peanut butter if they had the chance, even if they were to fall terribly ill…

You see, if your vet prescribed your dog life-changing medicine, you would do whatever it takes to get it into their system. That's the approach you should have with Happy-Furever™ if your dog is picky!

The good news is that with a bit of patience, training, and a 'delicious bribe', you can condition your dogs adapt to the new routine of using CBD Oil. If your dog has a sensitive digestive system, you can also mix it with their food.

What if they are not eating their food? You can use the gentle starvation method - this involves waiting until your dog is hungry enough to not be choosy, if they understand that they can't get away with not eating it, their hunger instincts will eventually cave into any discomfort. Sometimes dogs are afraid of new things, so don't be afraid to train and condition them to adapt!

Hundreds of thousands of dog parents have done it, you can too!

The benefits of using the oil far outweigh the temporary discomfort or aversion (if any) that they may face.

Of course, for non-picky dogs that devour anything and everything - this isn't really a problem! Remember - the hallmark of a successful dog owner is the ability to guide and train their dogs, don't coddle them!

This is a common misconception and sometimes people wonder if CBD can cause a high or if its legal. The wonderful news is when CBD is derived from hemp, it cannot cause a high, and it is legal in the United States under the 2018 Farm Bill Act and in over 40 countries worldwide.

Historical books record the use of CBD in advanced ancient civilisations, and even in Scandinavian tradition. It's only in recent years did scientific advancement help us rediscover the power of this miracle plant! Industrial Hemp Plants contain less than 0.3% THC which is what allows it to be classified as a legal substance in the United States.

Our CBD products are NOT derived from marijuana plants.

While hemp and marijuana are technically the same species of plant, cannabis Sativa, and you can harvest CBD from marijuana, hemp and marijuana have differing phytochemical makeups. What distinguishes the two plants are their CBD and THC content. Hemp has a high CBD content and must have no more than 0.3% THC. Any plant over 0.3% THC is considered a marijuana plant in the United States.

All Paw Origins' CBD products are hemp-derived, containing high levels of CBD, a diverse cannabinoid, and terpene profile with under 0.3% THC.

As the stigma surrounding hemp-derived CBD continues to lessen, there’s no reason not to try CBD for your dog. However, we understand why some are still skeptical because in many ways CBD sounds too good to be true. So, we'll put your mind at ease, here’s why you’d be making the right choice:

Reputable health organizations all over the world including the World Health Organization (WHO) have deemed CBD a ‘safe & effective’ health alternative for both humans and animals. It's well-tolerated even in high doses, and it has very mild side effects.

Both Hemp and Marijuana are species of cannabis plants, and while they have the same cannabinoids and terpenes, the percentages and ratios differ immensely.

In particular, Hemp contains very low amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), where Marijuana contains higher percentages. High levels of THC results in the euphoria associated with marijuana.

Marijuana has approximately 20-30 % THC vs. industrial hemp 0.01-0.3% THC indicating marijuana has one hundred to a thousand times more tetrahydrocannabinol than hemp, a significant difference.

Happy-Furever only uses the highest quality CBD extracted using an industry-leading CO2 Extraction Process, making sure that the raw crops are not overheated or overprocessed, keeping the plant's diverse array of cannabinoids available. Watch as your dogs experience the positive benefits within days.

Many of our customers that have experienced the biggest, fastest results go with the 6-bottle option, as it comes with the free gifts and it also allows them to use the oil on their dogs for a long time. The key here is you want your dogs exposed to the benefits of CBD Happy-Furever for a prolonged period of time.

While we believe you can still experience positive results with 1-3 bottle options, we know dog parents who are determined to make a change in their dog's lives and reclaim their dog's health and energy always go with the 3 or 6 bottle option because it saves them the most money, and it ensures they never miss a single day of Happy-Furever's powerful support.

Imagine for less than a cup of coffee per day, you get to unwind the clock and let your dogs experience the kind of energy, vitality, and happiness they used to back when they were puppies.

So go ahead and order your supplies, and once again - your order is covered by our 180-day moneyback guarantee.

> USA-Grown Premium Full-Spectrum CBD Oil Extract (1,000mg)*

> Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCT) Oil (Derived From Coconut Oil)

> Organic Natural Flavoring (Derived From Organic Ingredients)

Take a look around, and you will quickly find why our product is superior:

(1) Entourage Effect of Full-Spectrum CBD: Premium Full-Spectrum CBD Oil contains not just CBD but a range of other cannabinoids, terpenes, and phytonutrients found in the hemp plant. These components work synergistically in what's known as the "entourage effect," enhancing each other's effects and providing a more comprehensive therapeutic benefit than CBD isolate, which contains only pure cannabidiol.

(2) Benefits of MCT Oil as a Carrier: MCT (Medium-Chain Triglycerides) Oil is an excellent carrier for CBD due to its own health benefits. It's easily digested and can be used for immediate energy, supporting metabolism. MCT Oil also enhances the absorption of CBD, ensuring more of the active compound reaches the bloodstream, thereby increasing the efficacy of the CBD product.

(3) High Quality Yet Value For Money: Our 1,000mg tincture would be more affordable than other brands' 500mg tincture. In some cases, half the price of our competitor's 1,000mg version.

(4) High Potency & Effectiveness For Long-Lasting Results: Due to our product's higher potency compared to our competitors' less potent versions, you'll be able to use less oil each time. This translates to a longer-lasting product and a more robust entourage effect!

We understand that there are other products on the market that claim to help your dogs with anxiety, or inflammation.

We have a recommended dosage schedule based on Veterinarian's advice This information can be found on the back of all our product's packaging. Different dogs (of different weight and sizes) would require different dosages.

The rule of thumb for our bottles is to use 0.25ml per 10lbs of body weight, or 0.025ml per 1lbs of body weight. OR 0.5mg of CBD per 1lb of body weight.

So, if you're using the oil - to find your unique dosage, you can simply multiply 0.025ml with your dog's body weight.

• For example, if my dog weighs 62lbs, I would simply take 62 x 0.025ml = 1.55ml

As you can see, the recommended dosage would be ~ 1.55ml. However, you can start with half the dosage and slowly increase your way to the point where your dog finds relief.

So, if you're using the chews - bear in mind each chew has 25mg of CBD, so in this case based on your dog's body weight of 62lbs.

• Simply take 0.5mg x 62 = 31mg of CBD
• Which means your dog can take 1.2 ~ 1.5 chews.

Some dogs find relief with a lower dose, and some might need a higher dose. Every dog is unique, and there's no hard rule. This rule of thumb is here to give you a framework.

Dosing is more of an art not a science. There's no hard rule on the exact amount. Different dogs react differently, but it's always best practice to start off at a lower dosage and adjust accordingly. Give your dog's body to adapt. If your dog is having digestive upsets, it's likely because you're giving them too much, too soon.

The response time to CBD Happy-Furever™ can indeed differ from one dog to another, as it is a natural supplement that dogs may need time to adapt to. Many dog parents have observed noticeable positive changes in their pets' behavior and well-being within just a few days of starting the supplement. Common early signs of the supplement taking effect include better sleep, a calmer demeanor, and an increased appetite—all indicators of a content and healthy dog.

As the weeks go by, further enhancements in your dog's health may become evident. You may notice a shinier coat, a reduction in bodily pains, and an increase in energy, evident from bursts of playful excitement like the "zoomies" during fetch.

It's crucial to acknowledge that, like humans, some dogs may require a longer period to fully benefit from natural supplements like CBD oil. Patience is key, and during this time, it's also important to continue reinforcing good behavior.

When CBD helps to bring your dog to a more tranquil state, it's an opportune moment to introduce new habits and work on phasing out any undesirable behaviors. Remember, while CBD can support your dog's well-being, it is not a substitute for consistent training and conditioning.

Keep an eye out for signs of improvement; sometimes, they may not be immediately obvious. Documenting your dog's journey with videos and photos can help you recognize progress that you might otherwise overlook.

Furthermore, improvements might be taking place internally, such as enhanced immune function or reduced inflammation, which aren't always visible. The absence of health issues can often be a silent testament to the efficacy of the supplement, reflecting your dog's overall health and vitality. So, while some benefits of CBD are seen, others are felt—a healthy dog is a happy dog, inside and out.

Absolutely not! It's not possible for dogs to get 'high' off our CBD as they contain less than 0.3% THC, which won't cause any intoxicating effects. However, your pup might seem a lot more relaxed, and might be sleeping more - which is a healthy sign! Keep in mind that young puppies and senior dogs should be sleeping for up to 18-20 hours of their day, while adult dogs sleep approximately 16 hours.

The lack of quality sleep can affect their health and anxiety in many ways.

CBD can make older pooches act ‘puppy-like’ and nervous young pups feel calm. The ingredients that makeup hemp contribute to a balanced mood, resulting in a sense of relaxation for your pet.

CBD Happy-Furever™ could potentially offer supportive benefits for dogs dealing with cancer, though it's important to understand that research is ongoing.

Evidence points to CBD's anti-inflammatory properties, which may help alleviate pain and inflammation often experienced by dogs with cancer. Its analgesic effects could make it a complementary option for pain management, potentially improving the quality of life for canine patients.

Additionally, the anti-anxiety and anti-nausea properties of CBD can be particularly beneficial, helping to reduce the stress and discomfort associated with rigorous cancer treatments such as chemotherapy. These treatments, while targeting cancer cells, can also lead to a reduced appetite and increased anxiety in pets, and CBD may help to mitigate these side effects, making the treatment process more tolerable.

Moreover, there are studies indicating that CBD might possess antitumor properties. Some laboratory and animal studies have suggested that CBD could inhibit the growth and proliferation of certain cancer cell lines. Although these findings are preliminary and more research is needed to establish a direct link between CBD and cancer cell eradication, they are promising and suggest a potential role for CBD in cancer therapy in the future.

Should you like to incorporate this treatment, and you'd like your vet's opinion - it's important to approach your vet from a place of seeking guidance rather than expecting them to advocate for its use. This approach allows you to take responsibility for the choice while seeking their professional insight on how to do so safely.

Not all veterinarians may be fully aware of the potential benefits of CBD as vets are not allowed to prescribe CBD Oil as it's not considered a prescription drug, and many vets would rather just adopt a 'do no harm' approach to protect their practice.

Research into CBD's effects on canine cognitive dysfunction is still in the early stages, but there is some evidence to suggest it may be beneficial. For instance, a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience found that cannabinoids could have neuroprotective effects, which means they may help protect brain cells from damage. This is a promising area of research for conditions like cognitive decline.

Specifically, regarding cognitive dysfunction in dogs, which is similar to dementia in humans, there is anecdotal evidence and some preliminary scientific backing that CBD may help mitigate some symptoms. This could be due to its anti-inflammatory properties, which may reduce brain inflammation, a contributing factor to cognitive decline, and its potential to support the endocannabinoid system, which plays a part in maintaining cognitive function.

Moreover, the carrier oil in CBD products can also contribute to cognitive health. Many CBD oils, including those for dogs, use MCT (Medium-Chain Triglyceride) oil as a carrier. MCT oil, often derived from coconut oil, has been studied for its potential cognitive benefits.

For example, a study in the "Journal of Alzheimer's Disease" showed that MCTs could provide an alternative energy source for brain cells that have lost the ability to use glucose efficiently, a common issue in aging brains and cognitive decline.

MCT oil is broken down into ketones, which are an alternative energy source for the brain and may help improve brain function in dogs with cognitive dysfunction. This is why MCT oil is often recommended for dogs with signs of cognitive decline, as it may help to support brain health and cognitive function.

If your dog suffers from cognitive dysfunction or if you're seeing signs of cognitive decline due to old age, we would highly recommend that you get them started on Happy-Furever™.

When it comes to using CBD Happy-Furever™ for dogs with seizures, there's some promise and hope here. The research on CBD for seizures in dogs is emerging, and there are indications that CBD may help manage seizure activity in some dogs.

In humans, the most compelling evidence of CBD's efficacy in treating seizures comes from its use in treating certain forms of epilepsy, such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Based on this human evidence, researchers are investigating CBD's potential anticonvulsant properties in animals.

A study published in the journal "Pet Behaviour Science" in 2019 observed that CBD could reduce the frequency of seizures in dogs with epilepsy when used in addition to standard antiepileptic treatment. It’s thought that CBD interacts with receptors in the brain that can influence neurological activity and potentially reduce the number and severity of seizures.

However, it is essential that dog owners do not think of CBD as a complete replacement for their dog's prescribed medication / medical intervention. If a dog is currently being treated for seizures, getting professional advice could be helpful.

Should you like to incorporate this treatment, and you'd like your vet's opinion - it's important to approach your vet from a place of seeking guidance rather than expecting them to advocate for its use. This approach allows you to take responsibility for the choice while seeking their professional insight on how to do so safely.

CBD Happy-Furever™ may be helpful for dogs experiencing pain and joint problems. The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD are of particular interest in the treatment of conditions like arthritis, which is a common cause of pain and joint issues in dogs.

Research suggests that CBD can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, which can lead to improved mobility and a better quality of life for dogs with joint problems. A study published in the Journal of Pain in 2020 found that CBD could reduce pain and increase mobility in dogs with osteoarthritis when given twice daily.

Moreover, the analgesic properties of CBD can contribute to its pain management potential. By interacting with the endocannabinoid system in dogs, which plays a role in regulating pain, CBD may help dampen pain signals, providing relief from chronic pain and discomfort.

CBD Happy-Furever™ could be a supportive measure for managing pain and joint issues in dogs, potentially offering them a non-pharmaceutical option to improve their comfort and mobility.

CBD is gaining attention as an alternative to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain management in dogs, particularly for chronic conditions such as arthritis.

Here’s how CBD may offer benefits in this context:

1. Pain Relief and Anti-Inflammatory Properties: CBD has shown potential for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. This can be beneficial for managing chronic pain and inflammation without the side effects that can be associated with long-term NSAID use.

2. Reduced Side Effects: NSAIDs can cause gastrointestinal, kidney, or liver issues, particularly with long-term use. It can also create havoc in a dog's digestive system, causing appetite problems and more... On the other hand, CBD is considered to have a more favorable side-effect profile - helping strengthen these very organs and improving appetite which are all signs of vitality, making it a more attractive option for long-term management of chronic pain and inflammatory conditions.

3. Synergistic Effects: CBD may have synergistic effects when used with other medications, potentially allowing for lower doses of traditional pain medications, which can reduce the risk of side effects.

4. Improved Quality of Life: CBD may improve the quality of life for dogs with joint problems by increasing their mobility and comfort level, allowing them to be more active and engaged.

Transitioning from NSAIDs to CBD or using CBD as a complement to reduce NSAID dosage should be done slowly. It's important that dog owners know that CBD shouldn't also be used as a medical intervention as it's not a prescription medication, and it should not replace your dog's medical intervention.

In summary, while CBD holds promise for pain management in dogs and could potentially reduce reliance on NSAIDs. Should you like to incorporate this treatment, and you'd like your vet's opinion - it's important to approach your vet from a place of seeking guidance rather than expecting them to advocate for its use. This approach allows you to take responsibility for the choice while seeking their professional insight on how to do so safely.
