Newest firstCannabidiol (CBD) is increasingly being used in veterinary medicine; however, its systemic molecular effects in dogs remain poorly characterized. This study employed label-free quantitative proteomics to compare the serum proteomic responses of healthy dogs (n = 18) after 30 days of oral CBD delivery via three distinct matrices: hemp by-product feed pellets (F), CBD-infused oil (O), and semi-solid treat (SN). The…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction The study of hemp-based cannabinoids has focused primarily on cannabidiol (CBD). Cannabis sativa however, naturally synthesizes cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) as opposed to the better-known neutral derivative. The precursor to cannabidiolic CBDA is cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) and cultivar extracts that contain both acidic cannabinoids are available as animal supplements. Pharmacokinetically these acidic can…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background: Emerging evidence indicates that epilepsy extends beyond the brain, involving systemic metabolic, immune, and microbiome perturbations that shape neuronal excitability and treatment response. Canine idiopathic epilepsy (CE) offers a naturally occurring model with strong electrophysiological, pharmacological, and clinical homology to human epilepsies. Methods: This scoping review was conducted according…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction This study investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a full-spectrum CBD-dominant oil formulated in medium-chain triglycerides (MCT oil) after a single intravenous (IV) administration, a single oral (PO) administration, and multiple oral administrations of CBD at a dose of 2.2 mg/kg in adult male and female beagle dogs. Methods The CBD-dominant extract was administered to adult, i…
Open article record in new tab ↗The last decades of research have shown that the endocannabinoid system may be a promising therapeutic target for the pharmacological treatment of cancer in human medicine and possibly in veterinary medicine as well. Compared with the original cells, the expression of gene encoding for receptors and enzymes belonging to the endocannabinoid system has been found to be altered in several tumor types; it has been hyp…
There is growing evidence regarding non-pharmacological therapies such as music as a supportive approach for the treatment of various clinical conditions in humans. Physiological and neurobiological research suggests that music exposure is related to endorphin, endocannabinoid and dopamine release, favourable effects on autonomic nervous system functioning and is associated with decreased pain perception and reduc…
Open article record in new tab ↗Pyometra is a frequent and life-threatening reproductive disorder in bitches, characterized by profound immune and inflammatory responses within the uterus. The endocannabinoid system (eCS) is a key modulator of immune regulation, tissue homeostasis, and inflammation; however, its role in canine uterine physiology and pathology remains unexplored. This study aimed to characterize the presence and regulation of eCS…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Demand for stress-reducing products aimed at pets has risen in recent years, demonstrated by an ever-growing market of nutritional and odor-based products. Previous research has demonstrated an effect of Cannabidiol (CBD), L-tryptophan and α-casozepine on stress-related behaviours in a variety of animal species, including dogs. The objective of this study was to explore the efficacy of a treat product…
Open article record in new tab ↗Canine epilepsy often resists conventional antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), which affects their quality of life. Cannabidiol (CBD) has anticonvulsant properties; however, evidence of its use in canine epilepsy is limited and contradictory. This prospective pilot study aimed to investigate the potential advantages, safety profile, and effects of CBD on quality of life when used as an adjunctive therapy in cases of drug-…
Open article record in new tab ↗Since the discovery of the endocannabinoid system and due to the empirical evidence of the therapeutic effects on several illnesses both in humans and animals that follow the administration of exogenous cannabinoids (i.e., phytocannabinoids), numerous studies have been conducted. These investigations aimed to identify the expression and distribution of cannabinoid receptors in healthy and pathologic organs and tis…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural phytochemical agent and one of the most abundant found in Cannabis sativa. It is known to exhibit pharmacological properties on various condition such as relieving-inflammation, pain, epilepsy, and anxiety effect. There has been an increasing trend globally in the use of CBD as a supplement in pets. Consequently, there are various CBD products being marketed that are specifically ava…
Open article record in new tab ↗A cutaneous mast cell tumor (cMCT) is among the most common tumors in dogs. Endocannabinoids (eCBs) belong to the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which involves also cannabinoid receptors and an enzymatic system of biosynthesis and degradation. In this study, plasma levels of N-arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA), 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), N-palmitoylethanolamine (PEA), and N-oleoylethanolamine (OEA) were evaluated…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction With rapidly growing interest in the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in the management of pain and other conditions, more information is needed on the safety and efficacy of this supplement, particularly its co-administration with commonly used pharmaceuticals such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This study sought to assess the effect of CBD in dogs with mobility impairments, as well as ev…
Open article record in new tab ↗Recent human clinical studies indicate that cannabidiol (CBD), the primary non-addictive component of cannabis, possesses considerable therapeutic potentials. The purpose of the present study was to explore the possibility of effects of CBD administration on behaviors of healthy domestic dogs. It is well-known that when temporarily separated from their caregivers, they may show an increase in vocalization. Here th…
Open article record in new tab ↗Dogs are routinely exposed to events that may elicit stress and result in negative emotional states which can impact pet dog welfare. One event many dogs living with people are routinely exposed to is car travel, with many dogs displaying behaviors, along with corresponding physiological responses, that are indicative of stress and anxiety. There are a range of management and treatment options that exist from beha…
Open article record in new tab ↗With the increase in popularity of utilizing cannabidiol (CBD) for human ailments, owners are actively interested in the possible utilization of cannabinoid products for their pets. The evaluation of CBD-rich hemp as an anti-anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulator, and anti-epileptic supplement has been assessed in previous studies in dogs, with adverse events such as ataxia or lethargy noted. In this study…
Open article record in new tab ↗Many dogs experience stress when separated from their caregivers, as well as when traveling in vehicles. Pet owners employ various approaches to managing these issues, from training, to giving medications and supplements, often with mixed results. Cannabidiol (CBD) can alleviate stress and anxiety in humans but the effect it has on canine stress is less well-documented. The present study aimed to understand the im…
Open article record in new tab ↗A 14-year-old intact mixed breed dog (26 kg) was submitted for a novel cannabidiol (CBD) analgesic treatment. The dog was cachectic and had a testicular neoplasia, hip and elbow osteoarthritis and severe cervical pain. Analgesic treatment included canine osteoarthritic supplement, robencoxib and gabapentin. An additional liposomal CBD injectable formulation at 5 mg/kg was administered subcutaneously between the sh…
