Gun Dog Forum

I was wondering if anyone has tried giving their dog any form of Hemp Extract (CBD)? I have a Brittany with allergies and was thinking of giving her some Hemp oil to see if it would help.

I have given it to my dog since it's been legal up here for some time and even before that was easy to get. I was hoping for it to calm him a bit since he's very high strung. While it doesn't do that I do notice it really helps him recover from hard hunting. He doesn't get soreand bounces back quickly. I would definitely try it. U have nothing to lose. It's all natural.

I was watching one of my favourite vet shows - Dr Jeff- who has just recovered from cancer. He said it was the CBD oil that relieved his pain. He now recommends the oil to dogs in pain instead of tramadol ( normal dog pain reliever recommended).
I'm going to talk to my vet about it as my old girl suffers from pain. Maybe I'll be her research candidate.

Sharon probably cheaper to buy online for people than through a vet marketed for dogs. I just buy mine down the road on the Rez... lucky to be 5 mins away from the dispensary capital of the province lol. I'm sure the Ontario Cannabis Store (online store for legal cannabis) has it, although probably more expensive than most dispensaries.

Every dog is unique, and their response to CBD can vary. Your vet can provide guidance on the appropriate dosage and whether it's a suitable option. They can also ensure that there are no potential interactions with any medications or treatments your dog may be currently receiving.
When considering CBD products, it's important to choose reputable brands known for their quality and safety standards. If you're interested in learning more about CBD and its potential benefits for dogs, I came across an informative article that might provide valuable insights: https://www.trythecbd.com/products/delta-9-thc-gummies/. It covers various aspects of CBD for pets, including considerations and potential advantages.

Just read a continuing education article on this topic. The following is a quote from the article.

"Currently there are no veterinary-licensed cannabis or cannabis-derived medicinal products containing CBD in the Canadian or United States markets, AND these products are not regulated. In 2015, the FDA tested various CBD-containing products marketed to pets. Many of these products did not contain the stated amount of CBD, and included unlabeled THC. Animals placed on high doses of CBD or on products that are not properly labeled and contain THC are more likely to experience adverse events."

Thank you!!
