How can you find the right CBD product for your pet?

By

CBD-infused products can benefit pets in various ways, from relieving pain to reducing anxiety. But with the growing popularity of CBD products comes the challenge of finding the right product for your pet. This article will provide insight into what you need to know when choosing a certified CBD consultant for your pet.

1) Decide What Kind of CBD Product You Need

When trying to find the right CBD-infused product, you must first decide what kind of product you’re looking for. There are four different CBD products: tinctures, capsules, treats, and topicals.

CBD tinctures are a great option if you want to medicate your pet regularly and don’t mind the taste of hemp oil. Tinctures come in many flavors and can be flavored with other ingredients such as vanilla or chicken.

CBD capsules are a great option if you have a picky pet that doesn’t want to eat treats or food flavored with hemp oil. Capsules can be an effective way to meditate on an as-needed basis since you don’t need to give your dog medicine every day.

CBD treats are perfect for dogs who love to eat and do anything for a tasty snack. These treats are flavored with hemp oil, but they still taste delicious. This makes them the easiest way to medicate your pet regularly.

CBD topicals are great for pets that have skin issues such as itching, hair loss, and other conditions that can be relieved by CBD. Topicals come in the form of lotions, shampoos, and conditioners.

2) Consider the Size and Weight of Your Pet

When choosing a CBD product, you must also consider the size and weight of your pet. Not all products are created equal; some are designed for small pets while others are designed for large dogs. Another thing to consider is the dosage of CBD your pet needs. A certified CBD consultant can help you with that.

This varies based on your pet’s size, weight, and desired dosage. While one milligram (mg) per kilogram (kg) is generally considered safe, you may want to talk to a veterinarian before beginning any new medication.

3) Determine the Best Route of Administration

The next thing you need to consider when choosing a CBD product is the best route of administration. The four types of CBD products are all administered differently.

CBD tinctures are taken sublingually or under the tongue. This is the best way to ensure that your pet receives the total dosage of CBD.

Capsules can be given to your pet orally or inserted into food. This is an effective way to meditate on an as-needed basis.

Treats can be fed directly or hidden in a small piece of kibble. Just make sure that the treatment only contains CBD and not harmful fillers or byproducts from other ingredients, especially if your pet has allergies or sensitivities.

Topicals are applied directly to the skin to absorb quickly and effectively. Topicals are great for pets with severe conditions, but you should always consult a veterinarian before beginning a new medication.

4) Get Expert Online Vet Consultation

With the growing popularity of CBD products comes a growing number of pet owners who want to try these products for their pets. However, not everyone has access to high-quality, adequately labeled, and tested CBD oil safe for pets.

That’s where an online CBD consultation comes in. Requesting a consultation with a qualified and certified vet is easy. Your information will be kept entirely confidential and only used for veterinary purposes. All consultations are strictly private, so you can request one without worrying about anyone knowing what you’re doing.

An online vet consultation is the best way to ensure that you’re giving your pet the safest and most effective CBD product possible. Qualified vets can help you choose the right product, dosage, and route of administration for your pet. They can also provide information on the many benefits of CBD oil for pets.

One of the last remaining dream matches WWE fans want to see will take place at the Royal Rumble later this month as Bobby Lashley will challenge for the WWE title against Brock Lesnar.

Lashley won a fatal four-way match last night on Raw to become the number one contender, the same match that was originally scheduled to take place at Day 1.

The Almighty one speared everyone and then covered Kevin Owens for the pinfall.

Earlier in the broadcast, Paul Heyman, back with Lesnar, opened the show and ran down the potential opponents. Heyman said that out of all four, they only respected Big E and put over Big E big time, saying it would be an honor if they have to meet at the Rumble.

AEW today announced that the TNT title will be up for grabs at this Saturday’s Battle of the Belts special on TNT.

Cody Rhodes, who won the title two weeks ago during the Christmas Day episode of Rampage, will be defending against former champ Sammy Guevara.

This is the second match announced for the broadcast, with the first one being Britt Baker vs Riho for the AEW Women’s title.

Battle of the Belts is only a one-hour broadcast so most likely only one more match will be added to the show. This is the first of four quarterly specials on TNT for AEW as part of their updated television deal with WarnerMedia.

Sasha Banks was lucky to escape a serious knee injury last night at the non-televised live event in Fayetteville, North Carolina after she landed badly following a backbreaker, with her knee buckling underneath her weight.

To make matters worse, Charlotte’s knee also landed on her ankle upon landing. The finish came quickly after the incident with Flair hitting the Natural Selection for the pinfall.

When the match was over, the referee signaled for help with the “X” hand sign and she was assisted to the back by the ref and Dr. Chris Amann.

“I’m good,” Banks tweeted afterward. Thank you for the love always.”

Following last night’s show, WWE issued an update on Drew McIntyre which said that the Scottish Warrior suffered a cervical neck strain with severe contusions.

McIntyre is really suffering from neck issues according to a story posted by PWInsider.com and he left the arena in a neck brace. The angle at Day 1 was done to explain why McIntyre will be off television for the next few weeks.

The former WWE champion will be undergoing further medical tests to determine to severity of the injury but his status at this point is unknown until full test results are received.

McIntyre soldiered on over the past few months despite the injury and ended 2021 with the most matches in WWE.

Lio Rush issues statement following AEW diversity backlash yesterday

By

After asking AEW President Tony Khan to apologize for his tweet, Lio Rush issued a statement following discussions he had with Khan and Senior Vice President & Chief Legal Officer Megha Parekh.

Rush said he does not consider this a diversity issue and made sure to point out that he never said that Tony is racist or AEW as a company is racist.

“We can all clearly see that wrestling as a whole and the AEW roster is perpetually diverse. The issue at hand was a racial insensitivity issue,” Rush wrote.

Rush said that after speaking to Tony and Megha, he is grateful to be able to understand more about their own ethnic backgrounds and glad that they are actively seeking input from an African American perspective.

“I am proud to work for a boss and company that try to make these strides in social equality. I look forward to working with Tony to keep making steps towards positive change,” Rush concluded.

Beth Phoenix returns at Day 1

WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix returned at the Day 1 pay-per-view to even the odds during the Edge vs Miz match.

Miz’s wife Maryse kept interfering on behalf of her husband and after Miz nearly scored the pinfall following a Skull Crushing Finale, Beth Phoenix showed up at the entrance way. A technical issue seems to have delayed the start of her theme song and Phoenix did not move until the song hit.

With a face ready to snap somebody, Phoenix marched down to the ring to scare Maryse away and then distracted The Miz long enough for Edge to recover and set up the spear for the pinfall.

Phoenix left her NXT commentary position last month with the WarGames show being her last one. She said she wanted to spend more time with her family as the reason why she decided to walk away from her NXT duties.

Brock Lesnar wins sixth WWE Championship at Day 1

By
Colin Vassallo

“Free agent” Brock Lesnar is WWE champion once again after last night he won the fatal five-way match, ending Big E’s three-month title run. Lesnar was never originally scheduled to be part of this match but was added when Roman Reigns tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the day.

The Beast Incarnate pinned Big E to reclaim the title in a wild main event when E went to give Lesnar the Big Ending but Lesnar got out of it and hit the F5 for the three-count. Lesnar has now beat both Kofi and Big E for the WWE title.

Perhaps the most newsworthy stuff from the match was the possible Lesnar vs Lashley one-on-one match that WWE fans have been waiting for. Lashley stared down Lesnar after he won and during the match Lashley even speared Lesnar through the security wall. Last night was the first time that Lashley and Lesnar interacted in the ring.

What happens to the Lesnar, Reigns, and Paul Heyman storyline remains to be seen, although a title vs title match at WrestleMania does sound interesting.

Here are the results from last night’s Day 1 pay-per-view which took place from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

Roman Reigns was the only Superstar to miss the show from all scheduled matches due to COVID-19.

Roman Reigns misses Day 1 after testing positive for COVID-19

By

Universal champion Roman Reigns missed the Day 1 pay-per-view due to testing positive for coronavirus and his match against Brock Lesnar was obviously postponed.

Reigns, who missed most of 2020 because of the pandemic and his high-risk status as a cancer survivor, returned at SummerSlam when the company moved to the ThunderDome and has been present at every show ever since. Reigns, and several other top talent, missed last weekend’s live events because some of them contracted COVID-19 and some of them were left home as a precaution to save Day 1.

A couple of hours before the show started last night, Reigns tweeted, “I yearn to perform tonight at #WWEDay1 to defend my Universal Championship. However, unfortunately, earlier today I tested positive for COVID-19. Due to the proper protocols I am unable to compete as originally scheduled. I look forward to returning to action as soon as possible.”

WWE issued a quick press release announcing that Brock Lesnar will instead be added to the WWE title match, changing it to a fatal five-way match.

Full betting odds for tonight’s Day 1 pay-per-view

By

The last time WWE held a pay-per-view was in November for Survivor Series but they are wasting no time in 2022 with the first show on New Year’s Day titled Day 1.

With just hours to go for the show, we’re taking a look at all the odds for the whole card as it’s being advertised. Coronavirus might have a little say if there’s someone still infected so be careful on terms and conditions when placing bets on matches with real money.

The biggest match of the night is certainly the one for the Universal title. Roman Reigns will defend his gold against Brock Lesnar and The Tribal Chief is 7/20 favorite against underdog Lesnar who is 19/10.

A fatal four-way match will determine who will walk out of Atlanta as WWE champion. Champion Big E is favorite at 13/25, followed by Bobby Lashley who is 33/10, Seth Rollins at 4/1, and Kevin Owens a long shot with 5/1 odds.

Raw Women’s champion Becky Lynch is the overwhelming favorite to keep her title against Liv Morgan with Lynch having 1/8 odds and Morgan at 4/1.

Both the Raw and Smackdown Tag Team titles are on the line tonight. RK-Bro are 1/14 to retain the Raw titles while The Street Profits are 11/2 to win. Over at the Smackdown side, The Usos remain favorites at 4/6 to keep their titles while The New Day are 27/25 to win.

The Rated-R Superstar Edge battles The Miz and the Hall of Famer is 1/4 favorite to beat Miz who has 5/2 odds himself. And Drew McIntyre is 1/14 favorite in his match against Madcap Moss who has odds of 11/2.

A look at the 2021 Smackdown television ratings

By

Just like Monday Night Raw, Smackdown suffered a drop in viewers compared to 2020, with 2021 brining an average of 2,077,000 viewers, down 105,000 viewers from last year’s average of 2,182,000 viewers. Smackdown had an average of 0.54 in the 18-49 demo.

The show did better than Raw when it comes to surpassing the 2 million viewership mark, with Smackdown doing it 39 times out of 52 weeks, not a bad number considering WWE viewership was down across the board.

The January 22 and September 10 episodes drew the most, with 2,383,000 viewers respectively although the September 10 show drew a 0.65 rating in the 18-49 demo while the January 22 had a 0.63. The July 16 broadcast, the first one with fans back, was 2,310,000 viewers and a 0.66 rating in 18-49.

The least-watched episode of Smackdown was the October 16 broadcast which did 866,000 viewers only when it was relegated to FS1 and the October 29 broadcast, also on FS1, drew just 1,032,000 viewers. The shows did 0.24 and 0.29 ratings in the 18-49 demo respectively for the lowest as well.

Smackdown ranked #1 consistently in the 18-49 demo throughout the year, beating out other networks but often came last in total viewership.

There were 51 Smackdowns this year as the last one of the year was just a Best Of show on FS1.

Jackass star Johnny Knoxville says he’s entering this year’s Royal Rumble!

By

Jackass star Johnny Knoxville uploaded a video on Instagram today saying he’s going to make a run at the Royal Rumble, possibly part of a promotion for his new movie Jackass Forever which comes out in mid-February.

“I’ve seen the list of current WWE wrestlers and frankly, I’m not impressed,” Knoxville said. “They don’t have anyone big enough to throw me over the top rope. What, is Little E or Roman Ruins gonna do it? Hah!”

Wearing a “Johnny Knoxville World Champ” t-shirt, Knoxville thanked Vince McMahon for always being kind to the Jackass crew but said he hoped he’s auditioning bigger and tougher talent for the Rumble as he doesn’t want to hurt anyone on his way to WrestleMania.

“I will be channeling my wrestling heroes like The Rock, Abdullah the Butcher and the great Gorilla Monsoon. The way I’m looking at it I am giving myself a 100% chance of winning,” Knoxville wrote in the tag, adding the hash tags #roadtowrestlemania and #royalrumble.

Knoxville has appeared multiple times on WWE television and even got his ass whooped by Beth Phoenix, Hornswoggle, and The Great Khali. Knoxville appeared on Smackdown last month along with the rest of the crew of Jackass Forever and had a backstage segment with RK-Bro.

Tony Khan gets backlash over Twitter comment about Big Swole

By
Colin Vassallo

Tony Khan’s tweet, as a reply to Big Swole’s comments, sparked a huge backlash on social media, some in his favor, but many against the way he handled the situation.

Khan, defending AEW’s diversity record, closed his tweet by saying that he did not re-sign Swole because “her wrestling wasn’t good enough.” Many saw it as a sign of disrespect and not the way the president of a promotion should handle criticism.

A couple of AEW stars like Jade Cargill and Powerhouse Hobbs jumped to Khan’s rescue. Cargill said that she had no prior wrestling experience and was given a “once in a lifetime” high-profile debut with Shaq and Cody Rhodes. Hobbs said that he has been featured in some heavy spots along with other minorities and said if someone has an issue to pick with someone else, “pick up the phone.”

Extras coordinator Shawn Dean also defended his boss, saying as a black male in the office, he’s giving as many opportunities to minority talents as he can every single week.

AEW’s live events coordinator Rafael Morffi also came to the defense, saying he was disappointed to read about the diversity issue and he is 100% Latino and the company along with Khan value and offer him autonomy as an executive to make big decisions on their behalf.

But the reaction from fans has been completely opposite. Khan, who is usually immune from fan criticism, received his fair share of backlash over the way he handled the response, not so much about defending the way he uses minorities on the show, but rather about the parting shot to Swole.

Earlier last year, Khan described Swole as a great wrestler with a great personality and who continued to get better in the ring. She even got an AEW Women’s title shot against Hikaru Shida in October 2020 but was then largely relegated to Dark tapings since then.

Lio Rush, who is now part of the AEW roster, was not happy with the way Khan responded. “I’m not cool with any of this shit to be honest,” he said in the first tweet. He then tweeted to Khan to apologize, all in caps.

A look at the 2021 NXT television ratings

By

NXT moved to Tuesday nights to avoid AEW Dynamite head-to-head but things went south and rather than improving numbers, it actually did worse without any competition overall.

NXT averaged 665,000 viewers during 2021 and just a 0.16 rating in the 18-49 demo, down from the 698,000 average and a 0.19 of 2020.

While head-to-head with Dynamite, NXT averaged 671,000 viewers but from April 13 on when it moved to Tuesdays, it did an average of 667,000 viewers. The average of NXT 2.0, which started on September 14, stands at 641,000 viewers and a 0.15 in the 18-49 demo, down 0.01 from the rest of the year.

NXT never managed to pass a million viewers and only did over 800,000 twice. The April 20 show did the most with 841,000 viewers and the prior week did 805,000. The 0.23 rating in 18-49 was the most the show got for the April 20 broadcast.

The July 27 and August 3 shows were the worst-performing ones, each doing 520,000 viewers with the August 3 show pulling just a 0.10 rating in 18-49 for the lowest ever.

Dynamite in 2021 drew an average of 895,000 viewers across 52 weeks of programming, up from the 812,000 average it did in 2020.

It was all around a good year for AEW when it comes to viewers, and getting rid of NXT in head-to-head programming meant an increase as well. In the first three months until NXT moved in the beginning of April, Dynamite averaged 774,000 viewers but then shot up to a 937,000 average from April to December when it had no NXT head-to-head. Dynamite averaged a 0.34 rating in the 18-49 demo throughout the year.

While last year Dynamite passed the 1 million viewership only once, this year it did it 15 times. The September 8 episode of Dynamite, with the fallout from All Out, was the most-watched episode with 1,319,000 viewers and a 0.52 rating in the 18-49 demo. The September 22 show from the Arthur Ashe Stadium was the second most-watched with 1,273,000 viewers and a 0.48 rating.

The June 4 episode was the least-watched Dynamite ever with just 462,000 viewers but that aired on a late Friday night. It registered a 0.19 rating in the 18-49 demo.

A look at the 2021 Monday Night Raw television ratings

By

It was not the best of years for Raw when it comes to television ratings as their average viewership dropped compared to 2020, a year which saw empty arena shows and virtual fans.

In 2021, Monday Night Raw averaged a total of 1,756,000 viewers over 52 weeks, down 122,000 viewers from the 2020 average. In the 18-49 demo, Raw averaged a 0.50.

The show hit rock-bottom this year a couple of times, breaking the record of the least viewership in the show’s history.

The July 5 show averaged just 1,472,000 viewers for the least-watched episode ever and the December 6 episode drew the worst 18-49 demo with just an average of 0.35.

Raw only surpassed the 2 million viewer mark three times this year, with the January 4, April 12, and August 23 shows. Last year, Raw went over 2 million a total of 13 times.

The most-watched Raw of 2021 was the January 4 Legends night which pulled in 2,127,000 viewers and a 0.68 rating in 18-49. The post-Mania Raw did 2,206,000 viewers and an identical 0.68 rating while the post-SummerSlam show drew 2,067,000 viewers with a 0.64 rating.
