Kidney Disease

CBD from a full-spectrum hemp extract can provide valuable support for pets with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Research suggests that CBD helps balance kidney function by interacting with CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system. While more research is needed to fully understand CBD’s role in kidney health, many pet parents have found it helpful for managing symptoms and improving their pet’s quality of life!

We recommend our Heal tincture, which contains 37mg of CBD per 1mL, to help manage discomfort and support kidney function naturally. Start with 1mL of Heal (37mg CBD) per day, split into 2–3 doses to maintain consistent levels in the bloodstream. For the best absorption, apply the tincture directly onto the gums for quick entry into the bloodstream. You can also mix it with food, but absorption may take longer (30–45 minutes) as it moves through the digestive system.

Finding the right dose may take some trial and error, so monitor your pet’s response and adjust as needed. Consistency is key to seeing the best results. More on dosing here: https://cbddoghealth.com/info

In addition to CBD, medicinal mushrooms can provide valuable kidney support. We recommend Breathe by MycoDog, a powerful blend containing reishi, cordyceps, chaga, and artist conk, known to support kidney function, reduce inflammation, and promote immune health.

MycoDog's Turkey Tail single extract is also beneficial, as it is rich in antioxidants and immune-boosting polysaccharides that offer additional support for kidney function.

Pro Tip: Maitake can be added to food in whole form to provide extra benefits for kidney health.

These natural supplements work synergistically to support kidney function, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being.
