CBD for Pets: Is Oil or a Tasty Treat the Better Choice? (Why Our Topical Butter Belongs in Your Routine Too)
(Why Our Topical Butter Belongs in Your Routine Too)
When it comes to CBD for pets, most people think of oils and treats. They’re popular for a reason—both offer an easy way to help pets relax, manage pain, or support overall wellness. But there’s another essential tool many pet parents overlook: CBD topical butter.
At Happy Pet Medicinals, we’ve developed a CBD + CBN Topical Butter that targets one major area traditional CBD products can’t: your pet’s skin, joints, and paws.
In this article, we’ll explore the differences between CBD oils, treats, and topical products, and why our infused butter deserves a place right next to your pet’s favorite snack.
The Usual Choice: Oils vs Treats
CBD oils and treats are most commonly used for:
- Anxiety and stress
- Joint stiffness or aging
- Sleep regulation
- General mood balance
Oils are great for customizable dosing and fast absorption, while treats offer convenience and flavor your pet will love.
But what happens when the problem isn’t internal—but external?
What If the Issue Is Skin, Paws, or Inflammation?
Dry skin. Cracked paw pads. Bug bites. Skin allergies. Hot spots. Small wounds.
These are things CBD oil or treats won’t touch directly—and they’re more common than you think.
That’s where CBD topical products come in. They allow you to target the problem directly at the source, offering fast, localized relief without needing to go through the digestive system.
Introducing Our CBD + CBN Topical Butter
Our Happy Pet Topical Butter isn’t just skincare—it’s active care.
Infused with:
- 1,000 mg of full-spectrum CBD
- 1,000 mg of CBN (a cannabinoid known for calming and anti-inflammatory properties)
- A botanical blend of mango butter, kokum butter, coconut oil, chamomile, lemon balm, calendula, and more
…it’s designed to soothe, protect, and restore your pet’s skin—naturally.
How Topical CBD Works for Pets
CBD has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and calming properties. When applied directly to the skin, it:
- Reduces localized pain and swelling
- Soothes irritation and itching
- Promotes skin healing
- Protects paw pads and noses from cracking
- Calms areas affected by allergies or bites
CBN, combined with CBD, adds an extra layer of relaxation and anti-inflammatory response, making this butter ideal for both chronic and acute issues.
How to Use CBD Topical Butter
Apply a small amount directly to:
- Cracked paws or elbows
- Bug bites or minor scrapes
- Hot spots or dry, flaky areas
- Inflamed joints (for external relief)
- Nose or paw pads for seasonal protection
Pro tip: Use after a walk, a bath, or before bedtime to help your pet wind down and recover naturally.
