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 direct to animal caregiver cannabis guidance program is designed to support animal caregivers as they explore the potential of cannabis medicine for their animal. Our goal is to provide up-to-date, scientifically sound, and harm reduction focused cannabis information to both animal caregiver and their pet's care team.
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.
If you are a veterinary professional with a question on an urgent case, please reach out by email. ( we will respond within 72hrs)
