CBD has shown promise in reducing pet anxiety due to its anxiolytic properties. This property is well known and studied amongst human users. Many pet owners anecdotally report that CBD can help calm anxious pets that may be chronically stressed due to environmental factors like loud noise. In turn, these pets often see behavioural improvements, reduced separation anxiety and less fear during stressful situations. The calming effects of the cannabinoid are believed to be related to its interaction with the endocannabinoid system in animals. Its CB1 receptor interactions in the brain and nervous system enable it to downregulate the stress response.
