As a great pet owner it’s important to pay attention to the needs and wellbeing of your furbaby! One of the most common questions we receive from fur parents using ABSC Organics CBD Oil is related to side effects of CBD and what to watch for when adding it to their pet’s regimen. Below is a brief overview of what we know about potential side effects to help provide you with some peace of mind when giving your pet CBD.

Some pets may experience mild digestive upset when starting a new CBD supplement, including occasional vomiting or diarrhea. These reactions can sometimes be linked to factors unrelated to CBD itself, such as changes in diet or environment. If your pet experiences persistent digestive issues, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.

Another area to monitor is liver enzyme activity, specifically alkaline phosphatase (ALP). ALP is an enzyme found in the bloodstream that helps break down proteins, with the liver being one of the main organs for ALP enzyme activity. This is especially relevant for pets with preexisting liver conditions, which is why routine veterinary checkups and periodic bloodwork are recommended for pets on any long-term supplement regimen.

There is still a lot to learn when it comes to side effects of CBD for our pets. Please always consult your veterinarian before changing your pet’s diet, supplements, or other parts of their regular regimen.
