As more and more consumers look to CBD to support a healthier lifestyle, many also want to provide those same benefits to their pets by seeking a more balanced approach to everyday pet wellness. Paw CBD is one of the fastest growing brands in the pet CBD space, and – with record quarters of net sales and recent news that regional grocer Save Mart Companies has expanded their Paw CBD product offerings to an additional 100 retail store locations throughout California and Nevada – the popularity of cbdMD’s Paw CBD brand only continues to grow. Paw CBD’s national television debut marks not only a milestone for the pet CBD space, but we’re confident that it is just the start of our brand’s continued commitment to engaging with pet owners nationwide,” said Ken Cohn, Chief Marketing Officer of cbdMD, Inc., parent company of Paw CBD.
