CBD oil and veterinary use






















An article published this week in the Detroit Free Press, by Kathleen Gray, Pot for pets: Here's how vets and others say it can help, discusses the gray area of CBD infused oils for both human and animal treatment. With the passing of the farm bill last year, regulation guidelines are still being developed. When it crosses over into the veterinary field, it becomes more complicated. Each state has their own laws and many veterinarians are not legally allowed to talk about this treatment.

Scientific research with CBD oil on animals is still in its infancy, but seems to be showing promising results. The Free Press article mentions a study by Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine which shows progress for pain relief while Colorado State University has a clinical trial with positive results of treating epileptic dogs with CBD.
