Do not do this unless you speak with a vet. There are dog cookies that help with arthritis along with other ailments. Most dispensaries have them in various forms, dosages, strains, etc. If you aren't sure about it do not "guess". It can be harmful. Legit dispensaries should be able to answer your questions.

Most vets are like most doctors and will not recommend it. I have seen some dispensaries that have it for dogs and it usually comes in a smaller gram amount and in a doggie treat. I have never seen it for cats so I am not sure about that.

and has only one good hip. He gets around pretty good now, but his CBD treat and a bit of oil a day noticably improve his attitude and movement. My local pet store carries it.

I am glad you can keep him in comfort. If I want something of that quality I have to go to Olympia. there is only one place near me that sells CBD treats for dogs and even that is out of my county. For some reason the dispensaries in my county do not have treats for dogs.
