Animal Welfare Professionals

Hello, We are considering using CBD in our shelter to help animals acclimate to their temporary home and for anxiety. Have any of you used CBD and if so, how did you select a brand and dosage? I come from Oregon, and recommended it often as a behaviorist there, but have moved to Indiana where there is more skepticism over its use. Myself and our vet tech are in favor and have both used it quite often at other locations, but we need some solid anecdotes and/or evidence to get some buy in from other staff and board members. 

We already use Gabapentin and Trazadone for our severely anxious dogs, but it's not effective for a some of our pets. I also personally feel that pets who aren't quite at the level of needing Gaba or Traz, but demonstrate significant symptoms of stress would also benefit. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Hi fellow animal caregiver, 

I will share some insight into the use of CBD in stressed Canines, or animals in pain. 
Through my experience "8 years in the field"  I've seen and heard of the use. 
From dogs and cats anxious to get vet exams to levels of aggression in fear based behavior in shelter settings being reduced by the use . 
Dosage calculating varies due to so many mg options in the market I find it best to just pick one brand and stick to it . 
Here's one that a few Drs I know use .
