A Natural and Effective Treatment for Pain and Anxiety in Dogs
Our dogs experience anxiety and pain the same as we do. As parents to dogs, it’s hard to know the best way to ease their suffering when they can’t explain to us what’s going on. However, now can use Cannanda’s CB2™ products to ease pain and anxiety the same way we humans do! While pain might be more obvious (e.g., limping when they have arthritic joints) anxiety can be more difficult to recognize. Before we discuss how to use CB2™ products with them, let’s first talk about what anxiety looks like in dogs.
It’s common for dogs to experience situational anxiety as a reaction to environmental changes like thunderstorms, strangers, going to the vet, moving or other travel. They can also experience behavioural anxiety; like separation anxiety.
Some dogs might have high anxiety as a result of prior trauma or mistreatment that they experience before coming into your life. And just like humans, dogs can even experience more generalized anxiety that has a negative overall impact on their lives. As responsible parents to our dogs, we want to find the best and healthiest solutions to their health issues, and Cannanda’s new Dog-Ease CB2™ products are a great solution for most dogs.
What does anxiety look like in our pets?
Symptoms of dog anxiety include:
Pacing
Panting
Whimpering
Trembling
Aggression
Urinating or defecating on the floor despite being house trained
Nervous licking of the lips
Loss of appetite
Other symptoms include a loss or reduction of appetite, weight loss, excessive vocalization, lethargy and restlessness. Thankfully, Cannanda’s Dog-Ease CB2™ products can work on all of these symptoms and give your dog some much-needed relief.
What is Cannanda Dog-Ease CB2™?
Cannanda’s CB2™ is a multi-award-winning, physician-formulated blend of terpenes, developed to target the CB2 receptors within the endocannabinoid system.[1] Terpenes are naturally-occurring compounds found in most plants, including cannabis and hemp. Unlike THC and other cannabinoids, however, CB2TM terpenes do not produce the intoxicating “high” commonly associated with cannabis, and therefore, is non-toxic for your dog, at suggested usage rates. This is because this terpene blend was developed to specifically target CB2 receptors (responsible for many of the health benefits associated with cannabis use) without activating CB1 receptors (responsible for the intoxication associated with cannabis).
Moreover, we’ve ensured that the terpenes commonly found in various plants that can have toxic effects in dogs are not used in our blend.
CBD vs CB2™ Terpenes
The vast majority of users will find that CB2™ works well on its own (assuming their dog’s body has sufficient amounts of CB2 receptors and they’re taking the right dose of the product); however, many dog’s using CBD find the addition of Cannanda CB2™ greatly improves their response to CBD. The combination of CB2™ with CBD can be a therapeutic power punch against what ails your dog—and should be a serious consideration for any dog already using CBD but not getting the expected results.
Even if they’re getting great results from CBD, however, adding CB2™ can help get the same results at a smaller dose of CBD, which can help save your financial resources. The end benefits of CB2™ and CBD are very comparable, but many continue to buy the more expensive CBD when they could be getting the same results at a fraction of the cost by switching to CB2™.
Further, from a safety point-of-view, toxicology data for CBD in dogs is still sparse, which is why many veterinarians still do not officially endorse CBD products. Terpenes, on the other hand, have a long history of use in various animals and used in feed for various reasons. The safety of these terpenes in dogs is well-documented, which is not something we can say for CBD, and as mentioned earlier, we specifically avoid the use of terpenes that are problematic for dogs.
Lastly, in Canada, CBD is regulated under the Cannabis Act. This means it’s still a criminal offense to buy or sell CBD unless through a government-licensed cannabis dispensary—and these legal products do not offer a suitable version for our furry companions, leaving consumers to look to the black market dispensaries and black market CBD brands for their needs.
Now with a safe, legal, and inexpensive alternative to CBD, more and more veterinarians are choosing to suggest CB2™ for its wide array of health benefits, not just pain or anxiety--particularly with dogs that are resistant to conventional treatment methods.
How to use Cannanda Dog-Ease CB2™
With three unique products, administering CB2™ terpenes to your dog has never been easier! Dosing is based on body weight of your dog as follows: For every 25 lbs of body weight:
Dog-Ease CB2™ terpene blend: 1 drop/day, directly into their mouth or mixed into their food. This product can also be used topically for wounds, sores, or other injuries—just gently rub a drop or two into the affected area.
All Dog-Ease CB2™ products are vegan-friendly, and free from: animal by-products, gluten, dairy, soy, corn, sugar, GMO, and artificial flavours and colours.
What to Expect
Although we expect to see similar great results to what 1000s of humans have reported, our dogs are as unique as we are, so it is normal to see different results from one dog to the next. Some show almost immediate relief while others take a few days before they start to see effects.
Try taking notes (or even short videos) of your dog’s behaviour prior to and after dosing to note the changes and find the best dose for them. Once you find that dose that works best for their body, continue with that dose on a daily basis to continue receiving the health benefits.

It’s made up of two main cannabinoid receptors (called CB1 and CB2) and “endocannabinoids” (which are produced by the body and mimics compounds from cannabis). When the normal function of these tissues or organs are disrupted, that specific area of the body produces more cannabinoid receptors, which are then activated by our endocannabinoids to bring things back into balance.
