I take some CBD oil. I have smoked some and used tincture. Can't tell how effective it is yet.
Dogs mostly have anxiety because of their owners and lack of exercise. Drugs should be used as a last resort.

I've got to take issue with this part of your statement. Many anxiety issues stem from life experiences and genetic predispositions. Some are natural instincts taken to an extreme - fear of storms.
Exercise and how we interact with the dogs certainly can help lessen and in some cases cure the anxiety or make them worse.
Actually waiting to do drugs as a last resort is a poor choice. When a behavior becomes habit, it's much harder to train or break the behavior. The longer the behavior is present, the harder it is to eliminate it. The drugs, either OTC or prescription can speed the treatment or therapy to eliminate the anxiety. They are not just to blunt the response, although that is often how they are thought of and used.

ppine, I am not sure if you are referring to my original post, however it hurts me that you would make this remark. First off, we have had dogs for over 35 years. That is why we started rving 35 years ago so we could take our dogs with us. Every dog we have had, which is 14 in all, none have never spent time in a kennel except at the vets or a groomers.
10 years ago we decided to only rescue senior dogs. Every rescue dog we have brought into our home has had issues. Most people would not even think of adopting them because of not only the issues, but the amount of money that is required to provide the care, but we have. Andy, the rescue that I am referring to in this post was found in a crate in the woods. He apparently hadn't eaten for a long time. It took the rescue group weeks to get him to eat small portions of food. He was blind and very anxious however we knew he needed to be in our home. Our vet and the ophthalmologist have helped us greatly with him. However his anxiety still is a problem. We are retired and are with him all day. The CBD oil has helped with his anxiety and that is all that matters to me.
Maybe you have never rescued a senior dog with issues. We have done the best we can. He has also been seen by a neurologist due to some other issues.
Thank you Dr. Doug for your kind words.

Quote: Dogs mostly have anxiety because of their owners and lack of exercise What an ****** statement!
have two dogs from the same litter. They both turned 14 a week ago. One is completely different from the other. The one that I want to try CBD oil with has a leg tremor and hates loud noises. Has NOTHING to do with exercise and how we treat them otherwise both dogs would exhibit the same behavior.

babock, totally agree. ppine so out of line. Glad he has healthy dogs. Hope he never has to go through major issues with his dogs. You said it best. That is what I wanted to call him!!! I would highly recommend ElleVet made in Portland, ME for CBD oil for your dog. Made for dogs. Good luck.And I thank Dr. Doug for his response to ppine! Plus I think my vet knows best since she knows my dog, NOT PPINE!!!!!!

I tried vaping cannabis that contains CBD but nearly no THC - that's why it's legally sold here. Luckily now CBD helps me a lot. I recommend buy CBD in ***Link Removed***https://berkshirecbd.com/

When I was about seven years old, my father took us for the first time on a country tour in our van. There must have been many who traveled here as children, but our trips became frequent. I had to study on the road. Then, when I grew up, I already drove myself. My girlfriend and I visited different campsites, and we decided to try ***Link Removed***, which my father used to consume, although there was an analogue and a more universal, cheap one. Needless to say about interesting consequences and relaxation, I think so.

I have heard a lot of people who gave their dogs CBD to calm or to help them with their mental illnesses, such as anxiety or depression. I have never tried it and prefer better to spend more time with my dog when I see that it's sad or is suffering from something, thus it understands that is not alone, but taking such medicines is necessary only when your dog is already in a deep depression, and spending some free time with it doesn't help anymore. It's not good to feed it with CBD oil because it can get addicted so be careful how much of it you give and when you will see that it had recovered better stop immediately to give it. If you still think that it's a good idea to give your dog CBD oils to calm then at least buy them from here https://weed-deals.com/Online Dispensary Canada.

We give our 18 year old 15 pound mutt CBD almost every morning for arthritis and general aches and pains. We know exactly which day we forget to medicate him.
Pot itself is a great medicinal cure-all for many suffering people. The best part about it is users don't go out and rob, ****, and steal.....Mellow is the word of the day for the occasional pot users.
