I eventually read about a all-natural ingredient that had hundreds of studies to back up it’s efficacy. That ingredient was CBD.

My ample research convinced me that CBD - as long as it was the right kind, at a scientifically-backed correct dosage, could return Biscuit to her former, energetic, limp-free self.

See, CBD works in a way different from most pharmaceuticals. To explain is simply, CBD naturally brings balance back to the body and nervous system, whereas drugs tend to stop or change things entirely.

Studies show that CBD does this with minimal, if any, side effects.

With CBD, what’s important is finding an ethical company that sells effective, broad-spectrum CBD at a dose that works. But four years ago when I looked for a product like that for Biscuit, it didn't exist…

So, I decided to make a CBD oil for Biscuit myself. I was lucky that I had enough savings to live off of (at least for a little while) while I focused on making Biscuit’s CBD oil full-time. I spent thousands of hours working with chemists and veterinarians to make sure I was Sourcing the best ingredients and that I got the dosage right for all sizes of pets.

By the end of it I had a product I was happy with, but I wasn't ready to give it to Biscuit.

It was time for testing; human testing. Thankfully, no humans were harmed.

It was Biscuits turn. She lapped it right up. Probably because, unlike other pet CBD companies in 2018, I didn't use stinky hemp seed oil as the carrier.

I used USDA Organic Coconut MCT oil, which not only tastes great, it actually helps CBD be absorbed more effectively, before being burned off as energy. I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night if I selfishly created scientifically-backed CBD products just for my own dog. That’s how Relievet was born.

While Biscuit has since passed on over the rainbow bridge, it is testimonials like the ones below that kept me going:
