CBD Research for Use in Animals

Preliminary evidence to date suggests cannabinoids may play a role in anxiety, chemotherapy symptom management (nausea, vomiting), epilepsy and joint pain and inflammation relief (such as associated with osteoarthritis).1 2 Canopy Animal Health is focused heavily on furthering this research in companion animals.

We’re actively investing in research in the following areas:

  • Situational anxiety
  • Chemotherapy symptom management
  • Epilepsy
  • Joint pain and inflammation

We are conducting research on the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids at cutting-edge academic and private research centers in both Canada and the United States. 

Our commitment to systematic research, our prioritization of animal health and safety, and our partnerships with scientists and veterinary professionals demonstrate our commitment to moving cannabinoid science forward ethically and responsibly.
