New research shows CBD oil could help reduce life-threatening seizures in dogs



Violent seizures, and the medication traditionally used to treat them, can be deadly for dogs.

  1. My 17yr old jrt recently had a seizure and I started CBD for canines. It's working great so far! And he's so much less anxious. I was thinking his life was over but since the CBD he's been getting up and walking around now

  2. I did as close to a 'scientific test' on my 14 pound dachshund as possible in a home environment.
    HISTORY: I 'rescued' this dog at about the age of 4, and she never had a seizure for the first year to year and a half. Then suddenly it started. She was having seizures on average once a month. They would last about 10 to 15 minutes before she could somewhat stand and walk again. At first I suspected the expensive kibbles I was feeding her and started making her food out of the best ingredients (70% beef heart, 5% fish, 20% veggies, 5% brown rice. All cooked). After several more months there was no change.
    I decided to try 'Angle Flavorless' CBD oil. (3,000 mg per 1 ml ~ 30 ml bottle).
    I recorded each seizure on the calendar, as well as the amount of CBD oil I was giving her (under the tongue).
    I started out with one drop per day, and after 4 months I increased it to 2. After another 4 months to 3, and so on for four years. There was never ANY change in her seizures over the course of that four years.
    Running low on the oil and not wanting to spend another sixty bucks for something that wasn't working, I decided to stop for a while. She had another seizure right on schedule on Feb 7th 2022. Then strangely she had a very short and mild one twelve days latter. Not bad enough so she was unable to walk, but I could tell. Today is April 17th and she hasn't had any more. They seem to have stopped as suddenly as they started.
    I've been retired since I got her and either I'm always home or my wife is, so I know we didn't miss recording any seizures.
    My non-professional opinion after over four years of using the drops is they did NOTHING to stop (or even help) the seizures. I've heard people praise their use, and if they work for those dogs I'm VERY happy for them. They just didn't work with mine.

  3. Makes me sick that this is not legal in Tasmania, my dog had severe seizures, this could have saved her life instead I had to put her to sleep after spending $1000s of dollars a heap of different medications that didn’t work. I hate the government. It’s time for change.

  4. I spoke to my vet about CBD oil for my little dog who suffers from epilepsy, her medication has made her chubby and lethargic at times. She takes phenobarbital and Keppra. She has had epilepsy for 7 years and the seizures are starting to take a toll now, she doesn't recover as fast as anymore. She still spunky and full of life once she is at baseline.

  5. I believe my 10 month old Italian Greyhound was having mild seizures. Her head would wobble, trembling, disoriented and falling over. She would be dazed and reserved for the rest of the night. The vet didn't seem to take it seriously when I sent him vids but when I posted in a breed specific group, many people posted that their dog had seizures and it looked just like this. It started happening more frequently, a couple times a week. So rather than have her put on expensive meds, I decided to try giving her CBD from a reputable site online and it immediately started working. It has been a few weeks now and she has not had one episode. Whatever it was, seizure or otherwise, CBD is keeping it at bay.

  6. I`ve had my half lab half grey hound for 6 years now, He has a seizure`s once a month, but in clusters. He is on pharbenp. (abvi.) It seems to be helping some, but every month he still goes into seizures. This time it`s been about a month and 1 1/2 before he had one. Today he is having them bad, so I will try CBD oil with his meds. & Then write a follow up below in a few months! Thank`s for this, 🙂
