CBD Oils and Your Pet

by Vanessa Vandersande | Sep 25, 2018 | Pet Services

My dog Teya has been part of our family for 14 years. I feel a deep responsibility to give her the best possible life but Teya has fought pain since she was diagnosed with arthritis at the tender age of six months old. She has fought cancer twice and has a host of other chronic issues. Most of the time we are able to keep her comfortable, but lately she’s had some very bad days that have made me very serious about addressing her pain in any way.
About a year ago I started getting a lot of questions about CBD oil. Legalization has made this product more mainstream and some of my clients were trying it for their animals. For those not familiar, CBD, or cannabinoid, is a broad term covering compounds found in cannabis (marijuana). While certain cannabinoids are useful for pain management, some cannabinoids like THC are psychoactive and toxic to pets.
As a healthcare professional, I take the responsibility of recommending drugs very seriously. With many CBD products flooding the market that were tainted with THC and toxic or of dubious quality, I could not recommend these products to my patients. So, I waited.
Shortly before my dog had her bad days, a new product popped up on my radar. Ellevet, a CBD product was evaluated through a trial at Cornell University by a well-known veterinarian. In the trial, most clients reported improvement in their pet’s arthritic pain as well as being safe. Here was a safe product with proven efficacy that I could try on Teya. Teya’s response was almost immediate. Her mobility improved, she seemed happier and more interested in engaging with us. She showed no signs of toxicity and started constantly nudging me with her nose for affection again.
Ellevet has made a huge difference in my dog’s quality of life. Since then many of my clients have been trying it on their dogs and the overwhelming response has been positive. Ellevet is in stock at Copper Hill Animal Clinic for cats and dogs suffering from arthritis. Give it a try, it may make a world of difference in your pet, too.
Please call Copper Hill Animal Clinic at 661-296-8848 to schedule an appointment.
