What is CBD for Pets? A Comprehensive Guide to CBD Extraction
Hemp vs. Marijuana: Hemp and marijuana belong to the same plant family, but hemp has legally mandated low THC levels (often below 0.3%). Pet CBD products should always be hemp-derived for safety.
Understanding Extraction Methods
Supercritical CO2 Extraction: The preferred method due to its purity. It uses pressurized carbon dioxide under controlled temperature to isolate CBD and other beneficial plant compounds efficiently.
Ethanol Extraction: While less expensive, this method may leave trace solvents harmful to pets. Choose ethanol-extracted products only from reputable sources with third-party lab testing to ensure safety.
