Weed Extract Might Lower Dog Aggression
A study of over 47,000 dogs found long-term cannabidiol supplementation lowers aggression but does not affect anxiety or agitation, researchers said.
- A new analysis found long-term cannabidiol use is associated with lower aggression in dogs, according to Frontiers in Veterinary Science and covered by HealthDay News.
- Because CBD is under study for human ailments, Dr. Maxwell Leung, director of the Cannabis Analytics, Safety and Health Initiative at Arizona State University, and Dr. Julia Albright, associate professor at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, investigated its effects in pets.
- Using Dog Aging Project survey data from over 47,000 canines, investigators found dogs receiving CBD products were initially more aggressive, but no effect on anxiety or agitation was observed.
- Dr. Julia Albright said CBD shows promise for canine behavioral therapy, but owners should consult veterinarians and choose reputable brands to avoid intestinal issues.
- More than 7% of U.S. dogs have received CBD or hemp products, with just under 6% treated frequently; researchers suggested the study might also point to potential CBD benefits for humans, and the American Kennel Club offers information.
