The Bailey of Bailey’s CBD For Pets is a charming, charismatic pug whose human friends, Jay Okeefe and Aaron Argueta, saw a gap in the CBD market. Like most devoted pet parents, Jay didn’t want to give Bailey anything he wasn’t completely confident about. So Jay and Aaron decided to create a pet wellness brand that would set a new standard for pet care, dedicated to quality and transparency. Based in Costa Mesa, their motto, ‘A Healthy Pet is a Happy Pet,’ guides their day-to-day operations as they develop new products and cultivate community relationships. You might see Bailey’s CBD For Pets at GoldiePalooza in Irvine, or the So Cal Corgi Nationals at Santa Anita. "Every event is a chance to forge new partnerships and strengthen existing ones with rescue organizations. It’s all about creating a supportive network for pet wellness," notes Aaron, Co-Founder. Bailey’s donates one item to SpoofDawg to the Rescue for every 4 products sold on their website. “It's our way of giving back and making a difference," says CEO Jay. Community events allow the Bailey’s team to engage face-to-whiskers with the furry family members who use Bailey’s products and their pet parents, ensuring the brand continues to meet their consumers’ needs.

Along with the legalization of THC in many US states, CBD has become a multi-billion dollar business. Hemp-derived CBD and Delta-8 products are legal in most states, and as Marijuana’s “little sisters,” CBD and the minor cannabinoids are not as psychoactively potent but still produce many of the other effects of weed. CBD is used to reap the benefits of cannabis for everything from pain relief to skin issues, while hemp-derived delta-8 has about two-thirds to one-half the psychoactive potency of traditional delta-9 THC but may produce similar pain relief and relaxation levels. 

The move toward cannabis normalization has provided the consumer with many choices for consumption. CBD can now be found in just about any form you might want - topical, edible, smokable. Delta-8 can also be consumed in multiple ways - even applied to hemp flower for traditional smoking. We weeded through the offerings to find the best. Here are our Spring 2023 picks for CBD and Delta-8 brands.
