CBD Oil Extraction Methods - CBD Oil For Pets

You might already be aware of the variety of benefits CBD oil can have for your pets, and the growing marketing around CBD oil for your dogs and cats has meant you want to find out a bit more of how its extracted.

This blog takes a look through the extraction methods that some other human and pet CBD oil companies use and how Petals and Tails source their quality CBD oil and run lab tests on every single batch!

What is CBD Oil For Pets And Can It Make Them High?

Short answer, no. It cannot make your pet ‘high’. There is a variety of products that have CBD in them such as shampoos and treats, there is also the original oil itself.

CBD oil is also known as “cannabidiol” and is one of many compounds found in either CBD or marijuana plants, which are both part of the cannabis species. There are common misconceptions associating CBD with the compound “THC” which is found in marijuana plants and gives a ‘high’.

However, this is not the case, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound which although is still in its early stages of research, has been able to show incredible health benefits for pets with no side-effects.

All products sold by Petals and Tails we only use CBD-derived from hemp plants that contain less than 0.03% of THC.

 

What Are The Benefits Of CBD Oil For Pets?

Amazing quality!

This stuff is amazing! After just one use we noticed our dog wasn’t showing signs of pain due to her hip dysplasia. She was like a puppy again! (She’s 10 and has a hard time getting up and downstairs) we put some of the oil on a treat and she ate it immediately. About 20-30 minutes after she was bouncing around the house.

Wonderful!
This product is magical. My rescued husky has really bad separation anxiety. He will destroy everything if we leave him alone. Even if it’s just for 45min. We tried everything, leave the TV on, puzzles toys, Kong’s toys .. etc but he kept getting upset.
So we decide to try these drops because we saw that have really good reviews. And OH MY!! 

It’s wonderful! My dog changed in just one day! He is so good now when we leave him alone. We gave him the drops 30minutes before going to work and when we come back he is just chilling in the couch. I am so happy for him and so grateful for this product!

What Extraction Methods Are There For CBD Oil?

The best extraction method is supercritical (or subcritical) CO2 extraction. This system uses carbon dioxide under high pressure and low temperatures to assure the purity of the extracted medicinal oil.

Subcritical extraction is done at a lower temperature (under 88F) than supercritical, while supercritical extraction is done over 88F and 1083 psi. Yields are a little lower with the subcritical vs the supercritical method but both processes ensure a quality CBD product.

 It’s the most expensive extraction method, producing a non-toxic, pure, natural, non-flammable product. The extract has a cleaner taste and mycotoxins can’t survive the extraction process.

Avoid any products made with solvents like propane, butane, pentane or hexane - toxic flammable hydrocarbon gases found in petroleum. Inhalation can cause cardiac and respiratory problems.

Some CBD products are extracted in pharmaceutical-grade ethanol (grain alcohol). This process is Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) but can destroy the plant’s waxes, leading to a less potent oil.
