What do vets say about CBD for dogs, especially with other meds?

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. CBD treatment in veterinary medicine is still fairly new so there really is not a lot of research right now on dosing and it's effects for various conditions. These products are now becoming more widely accepted as an alternative approach to managing chronic pain in animals. There have been some suggestions that they help reduce seizures. Products labelled for veterinary use seem to be safe so if you were to try a CBD product, there should be no I'll effects. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

As of yet, we have very little research on CBD oil in veterinary patients, so we cannot make any recommendations one way or the other about this product - we do not know what an appropriate dose might be, and if there are any potential health concerns or drug interactions in dogs. In addition, because it's a schedule 1 drug, it's illegal for us to prescribe or recommend. You do need to have Zoe seen by a vet to see if there is anything that can be given to her to make her more comfortable. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. I'd also see if you can borrow money from family and friends. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/

I would not give to Sofia while she is on these medications.

I would not give her cannabis oil without consulting with your veterinarian. We are not in a position legally to give out this kind of advice. In order to do legally so we would have to have a patient-veterinarian-owner relationship with you. Your veterinarian also knows your dog and the potential risks for your dog receiving cannabis oil.

CBD oil is very popular right now for dogs and people and there is some evidence that it could act as an anti-inflammatory and help with conditions like arthritis. There is not currently much research into it, so it’s difficult to know how effective it is and what the side effects may be. It is in a legal gray zone for pets and is technically still considered illegal at the federal level so veterinarians are not legally allowed to recommend or prescribe it.

So I cannot say if it is safe to give Canyon the CBD oil along with his pain medications. Because of that, I do not recommend it.

It's also illegal for vets to recommend using it because it's a Schedule 1 controlled substance. Sorry I can't offer a perspective!
