  • Dosing CBD for Your Dogs & Cats

    Dosing CBD for Your Dogs & Cats
    Nov 25 2024
    Cannabis has shown promising potential in helping dogs with a variety of conditions, including arthritis, epilepsy, cognitive decline, and cancer.Studies suggest that compounds in cannabis may help slow cancer-cell growth by promoting apoptosis (cell death), inhibiting angiogenesis (the formation of blood vessels tumors need to grow), and reducing inflammation. And while it is not a cure for cancer, its role as part of an integrated treatment approach is gaining interest in veterinary medicine. And the therapeutic benefits of cannabis — such as pain relief, appetite stimulation, and anxiety reduction — can significantly improve a dog’s quality of life.In this episode, we explore the potential of cannabis in canine cancer prevention and treatment with board-certified veterinary oncologist, Dr. Trina Hazzah. We’ll also cover important tips on how to use cannabis safely with your pets, drug interactions to be aware of, and dosing.Rodney & Dr. Becker discuss the latest research on nutrition and health in this replay of their weekly Facebook Live on the Inside Scoop. Plus they answer listener questions.
