CBD For Pets. Is It Safe?
2

• When we talk about CBD-based derivatives its
  often in relation to treating an array of chronic
  conditions. Now that the distinction between
  cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
  has entered common understanding, CBD is at the
  fore of a vibrant new kind of health and
  wellness. Many of these conditions chronic
  pain, anxiety disorder, acne, even severe
  epilepsy whose sufferers relied on
  pharmaceuticals to treat, have in recent years
  received gotten considerable attention for being
  compatible with CBD treatments. So, should we use
  CBD for pets?
• I recently visited my cousin, whose husband Jacob
  owns a large property in eastern Ontario. For
  more than ten years he and his father have bred
  champion Doberman Pinschers. It goes without
  saying that a Doberman is one of the most
  athletic breeds in the world, and the sought
  after dogs bred by Jacobs family certainly turns
  heads on the street.

• Like many breeds, Dobermans can suffer from
  canine hip dysplasia, which leads to painful
  arthritis and can inhibit movement. What shocked
  me was that a dog typically might grow up with
  dysphagia conditions and learn to tolerate the
  pain as it gets older. After mentioning this to
  Jacob it wasnt long before we started discussing
  whether to use CBD to treat this and other
  conditions for animals.

• Veterinary cannabis products can come in a lot of
  the same formats as they do for humans there are
  chewables, tinctures and topicals just for pets
  available. And just like the products we use pet
  CBD products can have a wide range of effects on
  an animals body depending on how theyre used. A
  study released in 2018 found CBD lead to
  increased activity in dogs with osteodegenerative
  conditions. Another study released the following
  year concluded CBD may potentially reduce the
  number of seizures in epileptic dogs. For
  breeders like Jacob, this all sounds promising,
  but studies like these are still preliminary
  both were relatively small despite having an
  optimistic outlook.
• Theres plenty for pet owners to beware of. In
  general, CBD products for pets are safe because
  they contain little to none of the THC thats
  known to be highly toxic to animals. Dogs are at
  a high risk of marijuana poisoning that can be
  caused by eating accidentally left out joints or
  edibles. Cats, who are pickier eaters by far,
  wouldnt likely be interested in your bud but can
  still be vulnerable to secondhand smoke in closed
  environments (and you should never be blowing
  smoke in yours or anyone elses pets face).
  Still, CBD-only products for animals can produce
  favourable results, from calming hyperactive
  behaviours to chronic pain relief, and in this
  way do not differ too much from products made for
  human consumption.

• The wide availability of legal marijuana products
  for humans is helping drive the conversation
  about the risks involved for their pets. In the
  United States, for example, the rapid expansion
  of legalized cannabis throughout multiple states
  has contributed to a huge surge in calls to the
  ASPCAs Animal Poison Control Centre (APCC). Over
  the first few months of 2019 alone the APCC
  reported a 765 increase in calls about marijuana
  toxicosis from owners whose pets ingested their
  stash. Prior to legalization the Canadian
  Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) issued a
  statement about this potential issue exactly,
  listing several signs pet owners should watch for
  if they fear that their pet is currently
  experiencing toxic shock from accidentally
  ingesting marijuana

• Excessive sleepiness or lethargy in your pet
• Depression, which can sometimes manifest as
  disinterest in activity, or low mood
• Wobbling, pacing or uncoordinated movement
• Sound or light sensitivity
• Incontinence
• Excessive salivation and or vomiting
• Fast or slow heart rates
• Low body temperature
• Unusual vocalization
• Naturally, if you notice any of these symptoms
  make a call to your nearest animal hospital right
  away.

• An animal thats essentially a family member
  suffering, in the same way, would be the deciding
  factor for Jacob in choosing whether or not to
  use CBD to help relieve their pain. Not all
  remedies are created equal, however. Jacobs dogs
  have seen it all and only a small fraction of his
  Dobermans problems can be treated with CBD the
  rest are all treated by costly prescriptions. But
  just because it may be more affordable might not
  make it worth it. So, is CBD right for your pet?
  Here are a few things to consider
• Many CBD products arent classified as
  medication, which means they arent subjected to
  the same rigorous tests for the purity of
  ingredients. If the THC content in a CBD product
  is too high, you may be unnecessarily putting
  your pet at risk.
• Any reputable CBD for pets company should be able
  to provide you with a breakdown of whats in
  their product from a third party, either
  retrievable online or by a direct call to the
  company.

• Since no current register exists for dosages by
  different breeds, ages, or weight, you should
  consider asking your veterinarian for advice.
• Your veterinarian should also be able to give you
  directions on how CBD products may interact with
  your pets other medications if theyre currently
  taking any.
• The bottom line? The majority of information
  surrounding CBD for pets and animals hasnt
  yielded any alarming information. These are still
  early days, however, as we ultimately know very
  little. When youre prepared to do anything for
  your pet, the very best thing you can do is stay
  informed about how CBD may impact your pet.
