The Legal, Non-Prescription Alternative
We start with Cannanda's physician-formulated, multi-award-winning CB2™ terpene blend, and infuse it into tasty hemp-based peanut-butter treats to create a unique product for dogs. This human-grade product is used for all the same reasons dog owners use the CB2™ Dog-Ease terpene blend, but with the added benefits of what many consider the world's most nutritious foods--hemp.
While most use this as a legal, non-prescription alternative to cannabidiol (CBD), many also use this to enhance their dog's CBD experience. CBD is the popular cannabis compound that has significant health benefits, but lacks the intoxicating effects of its sister compound, THC. Unfortunately, in Canada, CBD is only legally available by prescription only, or through controlled distribution from government-licensed outlets (and no CBD product has been approved for dogs or any other animal).
In order to bring these benefits to a growing number of individuals through open distribution, Cannanda's research and development has transformed the best-selling CB2™ Wellness blend into a hemp-based edible for dogs. By harnessing the power of terpenes in this precisely formulated blend, we can optimize the function of your dog's endocannabinoid system (ECS) through the activation of one of its main receptors, a receptor called cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2)
However, if your dog already uses CBD, the benefits could be even greater! There is a perfect synergy between Cannanda's CB2 and CBD products (read more below).
Activating the CB2 Receptor
CB2 is one of the two main receptors of the ECS. There are numerous benefits to activating this receptor without activating the CB1 receptor (the receptor THC activates, and what is responsible for the "high" associated with cannabis). The following is a small list of studies illustrating the benefits of CB2 activation.

Enhance Your Dog's CBD Experience™
As mentioned, CB2™ can greatly enhance the benefits your dog already receives from CBD products. Here's how:
- Activating CB2 receptors is not how CBD is thought to work. This is because CBD only has a very weak ability to bind to CB2 receptors.
- Newer studies suggest CBD may influence cannabinoid receptor shape and/or inhibit the proteins that remove their endocannabinoids. This means their own endocannabinoids can then activate CB2 receptors, and could be how they get the benefits from CBD products.
- However, if we can supply their body with external sources of compounds that directly activate CB2 receptors (such as those found in our CB2™ Dog-Ease Hemp Seed Oil, we can amplify those benefits. It's actually the perfect combination!
