Prescribing CBD in Australia: State by State Overview
It’s difficult to see a furry patient or beloved pet suffer from conditions such as chronic pain or anxiety where conventional treatments have fallen short.
As part of Australia’s leading medicinal cannabis network, CBD Vets Australia recognises the potential that medical cannabis therapies provide as an alternative or adjunct treatment option.
We’ve developed research and training programs to assist Australia’s veterinarians in accessing CBD treatments for their pet patients.

From scorching temperatures and fireworks to bushfires, there are key factors to consider to ensure a safe and enjoyable summer for your pets. In this blog, we’ll explore some essential tips for managing heat stress, ensuring optimal hydration, limiting outdoor exposure, and safeguarding your pets during New Year’s fireworks and bushfire season.
In this blog, we take a look at a study that investigated the effectiveness of CBD/CBDA as a therapy for cAD in dogs – highlighting the promising role that this therapy holds in helping dogs suffering from itching and skin irritation.
The well-being of Australia’s animals is of utmost importance to us. The amount of active cannabinoid ingredients such as CBD in medical cannabis specifically formulated for pets is of a custom dose based on their weight and condition.
Vets need to know the correct medicinal cannabis dosages and formulations, because pets (particularly dogs) have an increased sensitivity to the cannabinoid THC and are at risk of adverse effects, including depression or even death from overdose.
As with all human medication, some pets may experience side effects, which we train vets to look out for.
