What’s New in Medical Cannabis for Dogs?

To find out, we asked Robert J. Silver, DVM, MS, CVA, author of “Medical Marijuana and Your Pet: The Definitive Guide.”

5 Key Takeaways

• Cannabis is the single most significant new development in veterinary pharmaceuticals to emerge in at least the last 20 years.

• Currently, CBD has been demonstrated to be effective only for the treatment of osteoarthritis and some forms of epilepsy.

• While both humans and dogs have endocannabinoid systems, they respond differently to CBD based on the configurations of their individual systems; therefore, research results for one species aren’t necessarily transferrable to the other.
