Cannabis, CBD and Hemp for Animals: A Clinical Reference for Owners and Veterinary Professionals

Owners, breeders, trainers and small-animal practitioners are making decisions in a gap. Marketing material overpromises on one side, clinical literature is hard to reach on the other.

This book closes that gap. It gathers what is established, separates it from what is speculative, and sets out what you need to choose a product, dose it correctly, and recognise both benefit and harm.

Where the evidence is strong, it says so. Where it is weak, it says that. Where there is no evidence at all in a species, it says that too.

Written for South Africa. This is the only reference of its kind that covers the local regulatory picture: SAHPRA's exclusion routes, the requirements of Act 36 of 1947, the South African testing that found residual solvents and mislabelled THC in products on the shelf, and the withdrawal-time problem for food-producing animals.

Inside:

Dosing principles and species-by-species guidance, covering dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and small pets. How to read a label and a Certificate of Analysis, and what a real product's own arithmetic looks like when you do. Drug interactions, and when not to use cannabinoids at all. The South African regulatory picture. A dosing diary and a quick-reference appendix.

Every dose figure is reported with its source and its evidence grade. None is presented as a protocol, because no validated protocol exists for any species.

This is a reference work, not veterinary advice. Any dose given to an animal should be decided with a veterinarian who knows the case.
