CBD Studies on Animals as of 2025 linked here.

1. Efficacy in Pain and Arthritis: Multiple well-regarded studies (Cornell, Baylor, others) point toward CBD’s potential to alleviate osteoarthritis-related pain and improve mobility in dogs.

2. Seizure Management: Preliminary but promising data suggest CBD may reduce seizure frequency in some dogs with epilepsy, though individual responses vary.

3. Safety Profile: CBD has a wide safety margin in healthy adult dogs, with mild side effects (like soft stool, increased liver enzymes) at higher doses. However, rigorous, long-term safety data for puppies, pregnant animals, and seniors remain limited.

4. Species Differences: Dogs and cats metabolize CBD differently. Extrapolating dog data to cats can be misleading, underscoring the need for dedicated feline research. Equine studies are emerging but still lag behind canine research in volume.

5. Product Quality/Formulation: Studies consistently highlight that different formulations (oil vs. treats can impact absorption and clinical outcomes, so veterinarians and owners should look at product type, quality, testing and evidence-based dosing.
