The law and the evidence for dogs and cats.

CBD for pets in Australia
No CBD product is registered for animals in Australia. A vet may prescribe CBD-only products in limited cases, and the evidence in dogs and cats is thin.
CBD for dogs
Small trials of CBD in dogs show mixed results for arthritis pain and some reduction in seizures as an add-on. In Australia it needs a vet's prescription.
CBD for cats
There is not enough evidence to say CBD helps cats with any condition. Cats absorb CBD differently from dogs, and in Australia it needs a vet's prescription.
