Although there are no approved cannabis or CBD prescription drugs for animals in Canada, here's a comprehensive guide from Dr. Alex Crow for curious dog owners.
Legality of CBD for dogs in Canada: Health Canada oversees the federal legislation related to cannabis which outlines the legal framework for the production and sale of cannabis products. Currently, there are no approved cannabis or CBD prescription drugs for animals, which is the safest pathway for veterinarians to prescribe cannabis to animals.
Potential Benefits of CBD for Dogs CBD has several potential benefits that can help improve your dog’s health and well-being. One of the most well-known benefits of CBD for dogs is its potential ability to reduce anxiety and stress. Whether your dog suffers from separation anxiety, noise phobia, or social anxiety, CBD might help calm their nerves and promote relaxation without making them feel drowsy or lethargic.
However, it's essential to state that the current research into CBD use in dogs is very limited. While these studies do show promising results, more work has to be done into exactly how beneficial CBD is and what, if any, side effects it has. But before you get carried away and start your dog on CBD, it's important to know that there is a significant lack of data regarding the correct dosage of CBD to use in dogs. In fact, the FDA is still yet to approve its use - so proceed with caution.
The side effects of CBD in humans include a dry mouth, lowered blood pressure and drowsiness. It's therefore possible that dogs may experience similar symptoms.
