Deciding to utilize a cannabis product (hemp or marijuana) for your animal can be a tricky decision, and may feel overwhelming. Let us help!
Our team loves cannabis medicine and it's our honor to help pet parents navigate the addition of cannabis to their pet's health plan. Cannabis is rarely a life-saving treatment and the clinical effects of cannabis medicine occur gradually over several days to weeks. Our team only accepts non-urgent cases.
