MOKENA, IL — A Mokena business is looking to help out the community's dogs leading up to fireworks and the July 4 holiday, with a free taste of a little something to help soothe them during the pops, bangs, and fizzles.
Sunkissed Greenz, 19121 Wolf Rd, will hand out free CBD dog treats in-store on June 26 and June 27.
One of the key benefits of CBD for dogs is its potential to alleviate anxiety and stress, the store said in a release. Dogs can experience anxiety in various situations, such as during thunderstorms, fireworks, or when left alone. CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in the body, which helps regulate mood and stress responses
"Unlike other mass-produced dog treats, our CBD rich biscuits are artisan-crafted in small batches and made with organic hemp concentrate from local grown hemp," said Misty Nelson, owner of Sunkissed Greenz. "Every dog treat is made with all-natural healthy ingredients such as carrot, vitamin E, pumpkin, peanut butter, and more. All of our dog products are THC free."
Nelson stressed it is important that pets do not consume THC, as they are five times more sensitive to Cannabinoids than humans are.
On June 26-27, SunKissed Greenz will bake Fourth of July-themed treats for the local pups. Taste-tested and laboratory approved, each free treat delivers 15 mg of naturally occurring cannabinoids like CBD and are guaranteed to be completely THC-free.
The free treats—no purchase required, one per dog per customer—will be available in-store June 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, June 27, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The store will also feature a free patriotic backdrop for capturing photos with your dog.
If any treats remain after Saturday, they will be available at the Downward Dog Yoga and Adoption event Sunday, June 28, set for 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Gost Coffee, 1333 S. Schoolhouse Rd. in New Lenox. Cache Creek will feature adoptable dogs during the event. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased online.
