Cannabis And Cats

Rita Reimers on Pet Life Radio

As cannabis legislation is sweeping our nation and we learn about the benefits of cannabis for us humans, there has been an increase in curiosity toward the benefits it may also have for our pets. CBD for pets is popping up everywhere... but is it really good for our cats? Is it safe? How do we choose the product that is clean, safe, and helpful for our kitties?   After months of searching for an expert on the subject, we who we were looking for in Dr. Tim Shu

Upon earning his degree in Veterinary Medicine from Texas A & M, Dr. Shu moved to California to work at an animal hospital. He was surprised to find all of the dispensaries and education on cannabis only for people and, like us, wondered how it might also help our pets. He feels a moral and legal obligation to be aware of all routes to helping animals in the best and more natural way possible. After leaving the animal hospital, Dr. Shu became in expert in the area of cannabis for cats and dogs, and founded his own company, Vet CBD.

Join Rita and Linda as they chat with Dr. Shu and learn about the Endocannabinoid System that resides in all living beings yet that is never taught in medical school, and how we can help our cats and dogs with the right cannabis products. He’ll also tell us what to look for when purchasing. For example, did you know not ALL hemp products are truly CBD? No, we didn’t either.

(By the way ladies, he is very handsome and single!)

BIO:


My passion has always been to improve the lives of animals. It's ultimately what led me to pursue veterinary medicine. As a medical professional, one of my priorities is investigating and developing new therapies that can benefit pets. Humans have used cannabis to improve their lives for thousands of years, and through research and trials, I realized those same benefits can help pets live better lives too.

In 2015 I founded VETCBD with one goal in mind: to improve the lives of pets through cannabis. Since then we've helped tens of thousands of pets find relief through the formulations I’ve developed.

At VETCBD, our team consists of veterinary, cannabis, and hemp professionals, and we're focused on providing you with the best solutions to help your pet live their best life. So if you have any questions please reach out to us. We’d love the opportunity to help your pet thrive.
