Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is the main issue, not knowing how safe it is. In my experience the patients that I have that have used it have tolerated it well so probably though there is literature or study looking at the safety of using CBD oil in dogs. Good luck!

There have not been enough studies done on dogs with CBD oil to know if it will have harmful long term effects or not so there is no way to answer your question with 100% certainty. In my opinion, if it is helping her, keep giving it so that she can be comfortable.
