Wellness for Pets that we Can Also Use

Did you even consider wellness for pets as part of your routine? Our cuddly friends (cats and dogs) can benefit just as much from many of the same wellbeing methods we tend to use in our daily lives, and they will love you even more for it! Try some of these with your furry friends.
CBD Gummies and Other Products
There are many excellent uses for cannabis-based products. Love them or loathe them, there’s a ton of research that suggests they come with numerous benefits. Stinky joints aside, cannabis is a versatile product when it comes to human and pet health alike. CBD gummies and drops can help with anxiety, something many smaller dogs suffer from. Of course, many people also experience anxiety problems, and you can embark on a relaxation journey together!
Getting Quality Sleep
Dogs and cats love to sleep. Almost every human loves to sleep. Can you see where this is going? Pets will literally sleep all day and they love to get a good night’s sleep too! But they also experience the same issues as people such as insomnia, and poor quality sleep. Providing somewhere comfortable and quiet is the first step, and they will love this. However, they will be eyeing up your bed before long! Establishing a good sleep routine will help pets and yourself.
Nutrition Wellness for Pets and Humans
Some cats and dogs are fussy eaters, while others will eat just about anything! But that doesn’t mean you should neglect what they eat. Just like humans, our pets will get more enjoyment out of life if they eat well. You can even go vegan together!. However, vets and pet experts can offer some advice. When it comes to their food, aim for 95% of the named ingredient. For example, if it says “chicken” on the packaging, only 5% of the rest should be made of filler ingredients.
Exercise and Movement
Cats can take it or leave it, but they will mostly go out at night anyway. But dogs love to get outside and stretch their legs. This can be beneficial to you since you can also exercise yourself when you take out the dog! Exercise helps with the same issues for humans as it does for pets. Sore muscles, depression and tension are all relieved when we (and our pets) exercise. It can also be cruel to keep a pet locked inside as they will naturally want to run around outside.
Being Socially Active
Cats, dogs and humans are social creatures! If you have a pet, you know how much they crave contact with us and their species. Just like humans, cats and dogs get the best out of life with friends and family they can socialise with. This is as easy as being with the ones you live with. If you live alone, then you and your pet can be there for each other, and this can work wonders for loneliness. But it can also help you go outside and meet others, including other people!
Summary
CBD gummies can provide improved wellness for pets and ourselves. Eating the right foods will also help pets get more out of life. And humans and our furry friends need social contact.
