Cannabis CBD For Pets, A Possible Solution to Treat Anxiety and Inflammation

At Colorado State University, the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences is conducting two clinical trials with Cannabis CBD – one involving treatment of arthritis, and the other epilepsy in dogs.

For now, CBD advocates for dogs are spreading the word at ground level. Cannabis at human strengths can be toxic for dogs, so firms are making dog chews, oils and topical creams using cannabis extract.

Alison is the CEO of TreatWell Health, a Californian firm making medical marijuana products for people and their dogs. TreatWell’s cannabis tincture can be dropped straight into an animal’s mouth or on to food

Similar companies include Treatibles, which sells a hemp oil “for animals of all kinds”, and Pet Releaf, whose hemp dog treats look like fancy vegan snack-food.

The compound Cannabidiol (CBD) was discovered by studies to reduce inflammation and combat seizures. Veterinary groups are cautious but a mounting number of dog owners say the Cannabis is easing their animals’ anxiety and chronic pain.

Cinnamon, a portly Beagle cross from Kansas City, Missouri, takes PetReleaf’s hemp oil daily for her bad hips. Her owner Joyce Lattimer claims that after one dose:

She hopped right down from her chair when I called her to go outside. usually I have to call several times and start pushing her off.

She came over just to say hi and lick me on the leg. I almost cried, it’s been so long since she’s done that.

Medical marijuana adds to its growing list of benefits by helping sick and aging dogs. The pain relief and appetite stimulation that medical marijuana provides improves the quality of life for ailing K9s that limp towards the finish line of life.

Often our aging pets that we love go through a variety of invasive procedures in our attempts to extend their lives; medical marijuana can improve their quality of life during that stressful time.

Dog Owner and Vet Medical Marijuana Testimonials

Today, at age 12, he plays like a puppy through the day, his fur is soft and he sleeps at night, soothed not by magic, but by the dose of marijuana in that cheese.

Medical Marijuana has been like the fountain of youth for the American bulldog.

It’s really nice to see your sick pet, for his last moments or weeks or months, be happy and not real sick and dealing with needles and surgery.

– Dog Owner: Laura Bugni-Daniel

 

I grew tired of euthanizing pets when I wasn’t doing everything I could to make their lives better. I felt like I was letting them down.

– Veterinarian Doug Kramer

Medical cannabis eased Dr. Karmer’s Siberian husky’s pain during her final weeks, after she had surgery to remove tumors. Not only did Nikita stop whimpering while using cannabis, but she started eating, gaining weight and meeting him at the door again.

The science behind pet pot use has only begun to be written. But the trend behind the science of medical marijuana has been filled with positive findings. It’s an exciting time to be a stoner’s dog.
