is long term cannabidiol for dogs safe?

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • CBD is the non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the Cannabis sativa plant
  • While CBD is commonly used for reducing anxiety, relieving pain, controlling seizures and for a number of other health conditions in animals, the use of CBD for pets remains a relatively new area of study
  • One study looking into the long-term safety of CBD found that dogs taking the supplement daily for 36 weeks didn't have any serious health problems
  • Another study found even higher doses of CBD appeared safe for six months, although some dogs had loose stools
  • The right amount of CBD for your pet depends on their size, age, health status and more; before giving CBD to your pet, it’s a good idea to discuss it with your integrative veterinarian
