Pets + CBD with Angela Ardolino

Different Leaf: the Podcast

As pet parents, we'll do pretty much anything to help our fur babies feel better and age healthily. Whether they have joint pain, skin issues, anxiety, or more serious illnesses like cancer or epilepsy, there is proof that cannabis and mushroom extracts can improve our pets' health. That's why so many animal lovers are interested in what CBD could do to make life easier for our cats, dogs, birds, and any other mammals we might care for.
In this episode, host (and double-dog mama) Brit Smith dives into the studies and incredible real-life results of treating animals with CBD with holistic pet expert Angela Ardolino.
After studying Medical Cannabis for Therapeutic Use at the University of Vermont, Angela started using CBD and hemp extracts to treat animals at her rescue farm in Florida. She's since been able to stop seizures, she's helped injured chickens in pain, and she’s even put four different kinds of cancer into remission in dogs, all by treating them with full-spectrum CBD.
Brit and Angela discuss how cannabis extracts work to keep us and our pets healthy, what kinds of animal ailments we can help with CBD, and whether we should be feeding our pups tincture or CBD dog treats.
They also cover how to know if CBD is ok to mix with other medications our pets might be on, and how to find your pet’s starting dose for common issues like anxiety before fireworks or storms.
