Dianne and
Mindy
As a devoted pet parent, Dianne decided to give her dog CBD oil – her dog’s name is Mindy and she’s turning 15 this year! Just like other senior dogs, Mindy struggles with aches and pains. “Her joints and ‘luxating patella’ or shifting kneecap has proven to be very uncomfortable for her right knee and hip,” explains Dianne, who found that CBD helped her furry friend with both pain and stress relief.
Dianne and Mindy moved homes last autumn, and these changes caused Mindy to get bouts of anxiety. At that time, Mindy was prescribed pain medications, too. “Although we moved to a space with no stairs (Mindy is slowly going blind), she still moved around but she was cautious with her movements,” noticed Dianne.
Dianne began exploring pet CBD oil after conducting personal research and speaking to friends who had experience with these products. As a pet owner, Dianne started questioning her pet’s current regime, as she noticed that, “the other pain medications made Mindy drowsy and changed her personality. Even in small quantities, she stopped playing and seemed disconnected,” said Dianne.
What was surprising was how Mindy’s puppy-like ways appeared when Dianne administered CBD to her. “After taking CBD, she moved with ease from room to room, and started to get into cupboards and break into the garbage can like she did when she was younger! It was as if the switch to CBD cleared her mind, and she was willing to play with other dogs in the condo joyfully. I always say that Mindy is an old lady and will correct younger dogs – but she still remains playful if she decides to like them!”
Dianne’s go-to CBD supplement is our Barked Goods coconut oil made specially for dogs. She opted into this product for Mindy and herself, as our Barked Goods oils can be safely consumed by dogs and humans. “Recently, I found it very helpful with my sleep. I will continue to use it, as my sleep schedule has been greatly impacted over the years after having children. The CBD has helped me to sleep for more than 6 hours at night, which significantly made a difference in the quality of my life,” states Dianne.
As CBD has led to health benefits for herself and her dog, Dianne recommends giving it a try. If you’re going to provide it to animals though, take responsible actions if you’re unsure of your dog’s current condition. She explains, “As always, do your research and if you have a trusted veterinarian, follow up with them, too. If you decide to try it, start with small doses and see the effects for yourself.”
Dianne, your story is greatly appreciated by the Baked Goods community! Thank you for describing how CBD has improved your pet’s wellness and your personal sleep.
Dandy and
Cindy Y.
Cindy Y. had a right to be concerned about her 8-year-old Maine Coon cat, Dandy. One day, instead of eagerly eating breakfast, Cindy found him lethargic with a loss of appetite, hiding, and not interested in jumping high places. She immediately took the cat to the vet.
Dandy was thoroughly examined with x-rays and blood tests. He was diagnosed with arthritis. “The vet needed to make sure that Dandy wasn’t dehydrated for a few days before prescribing him anti-inflammatory drugs. I decided to use those days to give him CBD oil,” Cindy explained.
After this vet visit, Cindy gave her cat Barked Goods CBD Oil, which she currently uses for her dog’s joint pain. As Dandy is over 20 lbs, his weight is equivalent to a medium-sized dog, so the Barked Goods CBD oil is fitting for him. Within 12 hours of taking his first dose, he was interested in moving again. The next day, he slowly began eating, walking and jumping even more! Cindy continued administering CBD twice a day until the follow-up vet visit.
After the vet made sure Dandy wasn’t dehydrated, medications were prescribed to combat inflammation, along with omega-3 capsules and other supplements. Cindy confirmed with the vet that Dandy’s medications would not interact with CBD; she got clearance to continue giving him the oil as needed.
One month later, “Dandy is no longer on prescription anti-inflammatories. Now he’s taking CBD twice a day, along with his regular supplements, for managing arthritis. I can see his quality of life has significantly improved,” confirms Cindy.
We commend Cindy for responsibly exploring treatments for her pet. If you’re thinking about giving your cat CBD, please inquire about medication interactions with your vet.
Thank you for sharing your pet experience with the Baked Goods community, Cindy! It’s heartwarming to hear how CBD has a role in your pet care.
Laura, Administrative Assistant
Being receptive to new ideas is useful when trying CBD for the first time – this is what 55-year-old Laura advises, and she would know. She uses CBD herself! In fact, it’s helped Laura cope with her health adjustments.
“I am at that age – midlife, where everything is changing and it can be an unsettling place to be,” discloses Laura. “I wanted to feel better, to feel less edgy and anxious all the time.”
A few years ago, she found herself researching the benefits CBD, which helped her make new strides in her health decisions. “I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try it for myself. For me, taking CBD has allowed me to have a bit of calm in my day, it takes the anxious edge off, and it helps eliminate brain fog,” explains Laura.
The administrative assistant has integrated a few CBD products into her daily routine, including our Baked Goods Almond Oil and CBD hard candies. “I use the oil in the morning. It helps start my day off on a calm path. I also carry the CBD candies with me; I have one as needed when I am in a stressful moment, or just before I head into a situation that I know will be stressful.”
In addition to a sublingual oil and candy, Laura reaps the benefits of a CBD topical. “I use the NuHope Lemon Balm – it’s great for minor joint pains, shoulder and neck tension, as well as being effective for headaches,” she affirms.
Overall, this Baked Goods customer is grateful for her CBD journey because it has encouraged her to think outside the box. “I found that once I let go of opinions and past beliefs and approached using CBD with an open mind, the benefits outweighed everything else,” Laura discloses. “Using CBD has helped me develop an open mind about practices that may still be considered unconventional.”

Karen Tymkow
(and Winnie!)
Karen Tymkow, 59, is an enthusiastic pet mama who is proud of her beautiful pet, Winnie. Winnie is a 13-year-old blue mere rough collie who experienced distressing bouts of nervousness.
“Winnie suffers from anxiety and paces around during thunderstorms and fireworks, as well as other noises in the neighbourhood. Because of this anxiety, she tries to climb up on the couch,” explains Karen.
Almost three years ago, Karen was introduced to CBD at a local doggy daycare. “I decided to try it because I saw how it worked for the dogs in the daycare and was impressed,” says Karen.
Karen started her dog’s CBD journey with our Barked Goods Coconut Oil. She was surprised by how simple it was to administer drops to Winnie. “Using the CBD oil was super easy! I started off with a few drops on a piece of her food, then increased the number of drops as needed. Sometimes we need a second dose in about an hour, but it depends on what’s going on at home,” Karen explains.
Positive changes resulted when Karen began giving her dog CBD. Now that she’s been taking CBD for over a few years, “Winnie is a lot calmer and rests during whatever is going on around her. CBD has made her life more comfortable and we’re grateful she finally has some relief.”
From one pet owner to another, Karen strongly recommends CBD oil for pets. “Just take it slow and use a little at a time to see how your dog responds to it,” advises Karen. “We love Winnie so much and we’re happy we found some relief for her! We highly recommend Barked Goods and I hope it helps your pet, too.”
Karen, thank you for sharing your CBD story! We’re so happy to hear how Winnie has adapted to stress at home. If you’re a pet owner or interested in CBD for yourself, please check out our Baked Goods CBD shop or call us.
Christine McKeogh,
Owner of Canine Coiffur
If you’ve never met anyone who’s tried CBD before, we want to introduce you to Christine McKeogh! She’s the owner and head groomer of Canine Coiffur, a successful dog-grooming salon in Streetsville, Mississauga, Ontario. She takes pride in her salon being award-winning (and cage-free!), and she’s had her fair share of aches as a business owner.
She initially looked into CBD for her mom to manage neuropathic pain. But Christine also decided to give CBD a go. “CBD has changed my life in multiple ways,” explains the Canine Coiffur owner. “It helps my anxiety and back and body pain from work. Topically, it has helped heal my psoriasis better than the many different prescription creams I have used over the years. When I use it on my face, I feel it immediately reduces inflammation and redness,” gushes Christine.
She also gives her 15-year-old mixed-breed poodle, Charlie, Barked Goods Coconut Oil to help manage canine arthritis. She applies a pet-friendly Nu Hope Organics salve to her dog’s mammary gland tumor; this has helped reduce pain, irritation and itchiness experienced by Charlie. “CBD products have helped my senior palliative dog stay comfortable during her older years. She happily takes it straight from the dropper twice a day,” explains Christine.
Baked Goods products have become supportive in helping Christine unwind after a hectic schedule. “I love the bath bombs after a long week at work. They relax all your sore muscles and they are fantastic for your skin. I also use the CBD/CBG Combo Oil daily to help my carpel tunnel and wrist pain, and to provide relief from headaches. And I use Nu Hope Organic’s Extra Strength Full Spectrum Lemon Balm on my psoriasis; it reduces itchiness and redness and relieves the pain that comes with it.”
