Description
Kanogwan Kimram and co-authors pilot cannabidiol oil as an add-on drug for dogs with hard-to-treat epilepsy, in a 2025 study. Standard drugs fail for many dogs, which hurts their quality of life. Thirteen dogs already taking two to six other drugs joined the trial, with dose raised slowly from a low start.
Seizure counts fell overall, with a median drop from eleven fits to five over the study window. More than six in ten dogs had at least half as many fits, and seizure clusters fell sharply. Most blood values stayed steady, though one liver enzyme rose, so liver checks matter. Owners reported better quality of life for their dogs. The authors urge tailored doses rather than one fixed dose for all.
