<\/p>\nWednesday has arrived and tomorrow is Layla’s gotcha day. I cannot believe she has\u00a0been with me for 8 years WOW, it seems like yesterday she arrived a matted mess from the shelter.
\nI am not sure how many of you know her story, but she was one of the unlucky ones to be dumped by her family at the age of about 6 for the same reason everyone else dumps their pets, no time.<\/p>\n
I saw her online sitting in the shelter, the photo said it all, my friend rescued her and another brought her to me and the rest is history.\u00a0 Layla has come a long way from being a scared shy dog and I am blessed daily to have her in my life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is one of the reasons I think I am so paranoid when she does not feel well whether upset tummy, allergies or anything else and I am doing my utmost to keep her as healthy as possible.<\/p>\n
She has always hopped with her left back leg up and the vets have never worried about it, but with aging I have become more concerned so have been doing research on different products which will make sure she is not in pain or uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
Through my research I came across this company, Restorative Botanicals that make Hemp products specifically for pets plus humans and contacted them as their products sounded exactly what I was looking for for Layla.<\/p>\n
They were kind enough to send me their 4 Paws Hemp Oil Extract which\u00a0 supports Weary Muscles and Joints, Calming Disposition and Overall Health. It is made with Certified Colorado\u00a0hemp, cod liver oil and cold pressed organic, virgin hemp seed oil, in a well balanced nutritional blend designed to keep your companion feeling calm, healthy and comfortable.<\/p>\n
Since I have been using it on Layla I have noticed her to be calmer, especially with me starting a new job and not home in the afternoons, when she walks she is not hopping as much unless she starts running which is not that often. It is something I have been looking for and so happy I found.<\/p>\n
Another product I received from them and I am so happy with this is their 4Paws PET Hemp Extract Topical Relief Balm. As you all know Layla suffers from allergies and then of course it causes hot spots. I am so against all the topical sprays so when I saw this I thought to myself WOW, perfect for her.<\/p>\n
You all know from my last blog we went to the beach about 10 days ago and Madam has been scratching since. Between that and the warm weather last week and park, Missy started a little hot spot and I immediately rubbed the balm on her. It worked wonders, she stopped chewing on herself, calmed down and I found that within one day the hot spot was nearly healed. It was so great to see that and not have to worry about her getting an upset tummy from licking it, as the Hemp Extract Topical Relief Balm is safe and relaxes her, in a nutshell a must in a persons first aid box.<\/p>\n
The company also surprised me with a gift of Muscle & Joint Cream which I have been using on my ankle and feeling so much better plus a bottle of Spice Flavor Restore Calm Hemp Oil Supplement which is really helping me to stay calm.<\/p>\n
I want to say thanks to them for making our lives calmer and mine more relaxed for sponsoring us with these products.<\/p>\n

I personally think in the future I will be using Whole Plant Hemp oil with her and not CBD oil.<\/p>\n With the research I have also learnt the difference between Whole Plant Hemp Oil and CBD Oil and am happy to share here so we all understand it better.<\/p>\n Within the hemp plant, there are numerous cannabinoids and other phytonutrients.\u00a0 A good full-spectrum hemp oil will include all of this material in the same proportion that occurs naturally in the plant \u2013 and that\u2019s our belief \u2013 for maximum effectiveness, you need a full-spectrum, whole plant extract.\u00a0 Plus, when all of these materials work together in the body to support the endocannabinoid system, it\u2019s known as the \u201centourage effect\u201d. (Thank you Rick from Restorative Botanicals) for the explanation.<\/p>\n \u201cCBD\u201d (CBD isolate) products contain only the CBD cannabinoid without all of the other beneficial materials \u2013 and therefore may not be as effective as the full spectrum whole plant extract.<\/p>\n So the question now is what am I going to do for her gotcha day LOL. Madam is spoiled all year round so decided for her birthday am going to get her her favorite for dinner, chicken livers and gizzards mixed with chicken, she will be in heaven from that.<\/p>\n I am now off to work, Layla is sleeping, everyone please stay warm in these freezing temperatures, take care and be safe<\/p>\n With a woof from us<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wednesday has arrived and tomorrow is Layla’s gotcha day.
