Dogs are the most common animals to suffer from Osteoarthritis especially in their later years and if they are a larger breed, however cats and other animals can also be affected.
Our mission at CBD Vets Australia is to support vets with education and to provide access to legal medicinal cannabis treatment options to ensure quality care for patients.

Prescribing CBD in Australia: State by State Overview
Watching a cherished pet endure conditions like chronic pain, epilepsy or anxiety, can be heart wrenching, especially when traditional treatments have fallen short.
At CBD Vets Australia, as pioneers in Australia’s medicinal cannabis network, we acknowledge the potential of medicinal cannabis therapy as a viable alternative or adjunctive treatment.
Our dedication is evident through the creation of comprehensive training initiatives, empowering veterinarians across Australia to confidently integrate CBD into their practice for the benefit of their beloved pet patients.

Dogs are the most common animals to suffer from Osteoarthritis especially in their later years and if they are a larger breed, however cats and other animals can also be affected.
A growing interest in the benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) for our pets also brings with it questions about safety and side effects when being prescribed a new medication.
The anti-convulsant properties of CBD may minimise seizures in dogs with epilepsy, and the neuroprotective properties of CBD may protect the brain and nervous system.
The well-being of Australia’s animals is of utmost importance to us.
The amount of active cannabinoids in our products are specifically formulated for each individual pet based on a custom dose as prescribed by a vet. CBD doses vary depending on the pet’s condition, age and body weight. We provide vets with best-practice prescribing guidelines and our clinical team answers any questions vets may have.
As with all human medication, some pets may experience side effects, which we train vets to look out for.
It’s important for vets to be familiar with the various CBD formulations and the correct dosage guidelines so they can prescribe the most suitable dose for your pet and mitigate potential side effects.
