A Comprehensive Guide to Using Cannabis for Your Pet with Dr. Casara Andre

Where are you listening from?

Curious whether cannabis can actually help your dog or cat—and how to do it without risking a scary night of wobbling and worry? I sit down with veterinarian Dr. Casara Andre to unpack a safe, practical roadmap for pet parents who want evidence-based guidance, not guesswork. From the endocannabinoid system’s (ECS) role in pain, mood, and balance to the real differences between THC and CBD in animals, this conversation translates complex science into clear steps you can use today.

We explore why dosing isn’t simply about body weight, how biphasic effects make more a potential problem, and why journaling sleep, appetite, mobility, and reactivity is the secret to finding the minimum effective dose. You’ll learn how to choose products that won’t backfire, what a trustworthy certificate of analysis looks like, how to interpret “full spectrum” vs “broad spectrum,” and why a CBD-dominant plant extract with trace THC is often a sensible starting point. We also dig into the overlooked MVPs: CBDA for GI inflammation and nausea, CBG for muscle relaxation and seizure support, and terpene profiles that nudge outcomes toward calm or clarity.
