CBD for dogs — the big interview!

Published: Wed, 06/14/23

Hey,

Happy Wednesday!

Today we are treading a new path for the Dog Food Advisor: CBD for dogs.

The rise in popularity and availability of CBD oils, gummies, treats and so on for dogs has been hard to miss, following on as it does from a similar boom in human CBD products. Its purported benefits are many, including joint health and relaxation.

People, from dog parents to scientists to veterinarians, swear by it. I know this includes many DFA readers.

However, research into its effects on dogs is in its infancy and regulation is a bit 'Wild West' (although the science is well understood). And with that comes confusion, doubts and questions. Many dog parents are understandably cautious about giving CBD to their dogs, with some imagining creating a canine stoner.

But what's truth, what's myth and what's yet to be known?

We at DFA don’t currently review CBD products. We plan to work on a framework to do so but it’s not something we want to approach lightly.

Therefore, we decided to talk to someone who really knows the subject: renowned veterinarian and Professor & Dean Emerita at Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, Dr. Eleanor Green.

Our in-house nutritionist, Laura Ward, put her questions to Dr. Green. The result is this remarkably in-depth and informative interview: CBD for Dogs: Q&A with an Expert Veterinarian.

In it, Laura asks about safety, efficacy, side effects, benefits, and more. I’d say it’s by far the most in-depth article ever published on the Dog Food Advisor.

Whether you have preconceptions or a completely open mind, I encourage you to read it. I learned a lot and I’m certain you will too.

That’s all from me. Wishing you a relaxed rest of the week (and good joint health too!).

Until next time,

Andrew
