Cannabis-based treatment for Atopic Dermatitis in dogs: A Brazilian Clinical Trial
Written By Andrea Harris
I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. It was a long day recalibrating the electromagnetic stirrers and making my weekly calls to suppliers. I felt my eyes roll as I slipped the mini-computer out of my pocket and unlocked the screen. It read, “WHAT AN AMAZING DAY, DON’T YOU THINK?”
My heart jumped into my throat as the author of the email came into sight. It was Carollina Mariga, our Veterinarian contact for the team of researchers in Brazil. We were currently in limbo and waiting for customs clearance to get our tinctures beyond the South American border and into the Federal University of Santa Maria.
What Can Cannabis Do For Your Dog?
Written by Andrea Harris
"You're gonna put cannabis in dog treats? How on earth is that going to work?" Dr. Rodgers asked me.
"Yeah, I mean obviously it won't be high in THC, but I know there has to be medicinal properties for dogs as well." I retorted as I pulled back on the plunger and the 3ml syringe began to fill with blood.
I never thought that I would go from those conversations to stopping by clinics that carry my full-spectrum hemp dog treats. I can't help but think back as I hear story after story about cannabis helping canines.
Much like our own system, your dog's endocannabinoid system produces its own endocannabinoids. In fact, it's more than just dogs. We all have a system that interacts with the compounds found in cannabis, now it's all about narrowing down what cannabinoids are beneficial to which ailments so we can tailor-make cannabis profiles for our furry, and not-so-furry friends.
