The Veterinarian’s Perspective on CBD for Pets: What You Need to Know

Questions about CBD belong in a conversation with your veterinarian, especially if your pet has a medical condition or takes medication. Here are some topics to discuss.

Why Some Veterinarians Hesitate to Recommend CBD

CBD didn’t enter the pet industry through veterinary medicine; instead, it was driven by pet owners seeking natural solutions for their pets’ health issues. As a result, many veterinarians have limited exposure to the science behind CBD , and some remain skeptical due to early misinformation that labeled CBD as a cure-all.

The truth? CBD isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, but when dosed properly, it can be life-changing for pets.

CBD Dosing: Why Customization Matters

Every pet is different—what works for one dog may not be ideal for another. Factors like:

✅ Size & weight

✅ Specific condition (arthritis, anxiety, seizures, GI issues, etc.)

✅ Severity of symptoms

…all play a role in determining the right dose of CBD for optimal results. That’s why Companion Pet Company’s veterinarian-formulated soft chews come in multiple strengths, allowing pet parents to tailor the dosage to their pet’s needs.
