Frequently asked questions about CBD for pets
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a phytocannabinoid which comes from the Cannabis plant. It has many medicinal properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-seizure, anxiolytic, analgesic and neuroprotective properties. CBD is a non-psychoactive, non-addictive compound which is widely considered to be very safe due to its low toxicity.
There is substantial evidence that medicinal cannabis is a safe and well-tolerated therapy for pets.
The health and wellbeing of Australia’s pets are of the utmost importance to us. The amount of active cannabinoid ingredients in our products are specially formulated for each pet with a custom dosage based on their weight and condition.
Accurate prescribing and administration are paramount so we support vets through education and training, and answer any questions that vets and pet owners may have. Please reach out to us if you have any questions.
No, as CBD does not cause any psychoactive effects. Pure CBD (containing no THC) will not cause any euphoric effects.
Yes. In Australia, a veterinarian’s prescription is legally required to obtain a CBD product. CBD oils that contain a minimum of 98% CBD and up to 2% other cannabinoids are classified as Schedule 4 substances. Veterinarians may legally prescribe Schedule 4 substances for patients who meet the specific requirements.

There are a lot of CBD products that are sold online that claim to have therapeutic benefits. Any CBD products that are sold without a prescription in Australia are illegal. These products often undergo little to no quality control testing and may contain toxins like solvents or pesticides, as well as varying amounts of cannabinoids – sometimes, no CBD at all! THC above certain concentrations can be toxic or even fatal to dogs, therefore, it is imperative that CBD products come from a reliable, quality supplier to ensure safety.
