Dr. Angie Krause (00:00)

Welcome back to Tails of Truth where we tell the truth about veterinary medicine. I'm Dr. Angie and this is JoJo veterinary nurse extraordinaire. And today we are talking about CBD. All things CBD, we have no script.


JoJo (00:12)

Yes.


I'm a little


worried about this, we talk CBD every day.


Dr. Angie Krause (00:20)

We feel so confident about CBD, we didn't even plan what we were going to talk about.


JoJo (00:24)

Yep. I mean, I


did pull CBD products and they are sitting on my desk because we're talking CBD. Look, look behind me. ⁓ My office smells like CBD. It's kind of amazing. Yeah.


Dr. Angie Krause (00:29)

That's preparation. Yeah, that's true.


Nice,


nice. Okay, well, let's start with how people might use CBD. So if you're listening to this because you are thinking that your dog or cat might benefit from CBD, let's talk about why and how we use it. But let's start with cats.


JoJo (00:55)

Okay, let's start with cats


Dr. Angie Krause (00:56)

feel like we always start with dogs. So I love CBD for cats because cats don't have as much pain control as dogs do. And so even though now we have Solensia which is a great injectable drug to help with arthritis in cats, I feel like CBD has been life-changing for so many cats with pain. And so, yeah. And so if you have a senior cat,


JoJo (01:04)

Mm-hmm.


Yeah, I would agree with you.


Dr. Angie Krause (01:23)

I mean, pretty much cats over the age of 12, I feel like they all have some level of arthritis. And unfortunately, they're not going to show it immediately like dogs do. They just become less active and it's easier to not notice that. So I feel like all cats over 12 should be on CBD. And ⁓ cats with seizures. We like to use it for cats with anxiety.


JoJo (01:41)

Mm-hmm.


Dr. Angie Krause (01:47)

I like to use it with cats with chronic upper respiratory or herpes infections. I've had some great results there, like surprisingly great. What else do we use CBD for for kitties?


JoJo (01:58)

We use them for our kidney kitties


Dr. Angie Krause (01:59)

Yeah,


to help reduce inflammation, help increase serotonin, help kiddies just feel happier, feel better as they age. Deal with stress.


JoJo (02:07)

Yeah, we're ⁓


we have quite a few cat parents who are using it for inner cat aggression in the household. ⁓


Dr. Angie Krause (02:13)

Yes.


Yes. I think it's great for that. I know that I take CBD and it helps increase my thought quality over time. It just kind of smooths everything out. So my thoughts just aren't as anxious.


JoJo (02:28)

Yeah, I mean, that was a lot of things to use it for. It's just overall an anti-inflammatory.


Dr. Angie Krause (02:35)

And then what do we use it for for dogs?


JoJo (02:37)

A lot of the same things that you just mentioned, anxiety, inflammation, pain.


Dr. Angie Krause (02:41)

So big for anxiety. Yeah.


Arthritis.


JoJo (02:44)

Happy vet visits, happy grooming visits.


Dr. Angie Krause (02:47)

Thunderstorm phobia, although if your dog has really bad thunderstorm phobia, it's not enough by itself It's never enough. Here's what I want to say. It's never enough for post-operative pain I've had a few people try to be like I'm not gonna use the NSAIDs and the Narcotics you gave me I'm just gonna use CBD and that is inhumane. It's not that good. It's good Yeah ⁓


JoJo (02:51)

Yep.


Right, for pain management, I would say that's true.


Yep. So we don't see a lot of dogs with kidney disease, so it's not really front and center.


Dr. Angie Krause (03:14)

No.


And the other thing that I feel like I don't know, I haven't seen like regularly stellar results for dogs and cats with inflammatory bowel disease. People will report with their cats like, no, this really helps my cat with IBD. And I believe them, but I don't use it regularly as a frontline. Although it can help with nausea. And so maybe...


JoJo (03:24)

Right.


Dr. Angie Krause (03:38)

Maybe I should, but I don't use it for that. So when people ask me, should I use it for that, I use other things first, but yeah.


JoJo (03:44)

Right, I mean, I


think if you think about the things that you would use it for as a human, we're using it for a lot of the same things in our animal systems, ⁓ like increasing appetite, especially in our senior patients or our cancer patients. We are definitely seeing that.


Dr. Angie Krause (03:50)

Yeah.


Mm-hmm.


The other thing you could use it for is if your dog got into marijuana because it kicks the THC out of the receptor. And so this is good to know. Like if your dog accidentally got high, give him a high dose of CBD and it will lessen.


JoJo (04:06)

that's right. Yeah.


right.


which is a great segue into CBD is not THC and CBD is not giving your dog or cat hallucinogenic episodes.


Dr. Angie Krause (04:28)

Right. So let's talk about cannabis. So cannabis includes both hemp and marijuana. So you don't know, you can say like, you know, hemp derived CBD or marijuana derived CBD. But really we're using hemp because we don't have, we have to have less than 0.3 % THC in our products because we were not getting animals high. We're not using THC.


for animals and we call it CBD, but really there are a lot of different, we call them phyto cannabinoids. I know it is for the endo cannabinoid system, which is a whole system in our body that we just didn't ever really learn about, but has like receptors and it's very complicated and we know more about it now.


JoJo (05:04)

I love that word.


Dr. Angie Krause (05:17)

Basically we call it CBD so it gets all the good PR but there's CBN, there's CBG. There are all these different compounds in hemp that are therapeutic. And so CBD just gets, it gets all the good press. And so now we just say CBD but we don't even know if that's like the main player.


JoJo (05:37)

Right, right. Well, and I know that we do get this question a lot. Well, people want to just give their own THC products, especially now that marijuana has become legal in so many states. Is there a reason that somebody wouldn't want to give? Because I mean, there is that science that some of the THC components actually are beneficial. But in cats and dogs, we're not talking about the same thing.


Dr. Angie Krause (05:59)

Right, so the marijuana, I don't know, advocates will tell you CBD and all those other phyto-cannabinoids aren't gonna be as good without the THC, and they call it the entourage effect. They're better together. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not, but it doesn't matter because dogs have so many more THC receptors in their body that what would get us comfortably high


is devastating for them. And we just don't have enough studies to use and they're coming and they will come. But we don't have enough studies to use THC in dogs and cats. Now cats aren't quite as sensitive to THC, but I also think it's really unfair to get your dog or cat high purposefully because


Getting high for some animals and individuals is really uncomfortable. Right? Like for you, JoJo, you're like, that is...


JoJo (06:56)

Totally so anxious.


It makes me so anxious. It's awful. I can't imagine having that happen to me without my consent Yeah


Dr. Angie Krause (07:01)

Right.


So we're not doing that. We're not.


JoJo (07:06)

No. And if it


happens by accident, that's okay. Like, I mean, if your dog got a pot brownie, we're probably more worried about what kind of chocolate was in the brownie.


Dr. Angie Krause (07:13)

Yes.


Yes. Like you're not a bad person if your dog accidentally gets into your THC. We're not mad at you, but we are not happy if you are regularly giving your dog THC. We think that is not an okay thing to do.


JoJo (07:33)

very fair. And we don't know how many receptors cats have. They seem to have a better tolerance than dogs. But still, ⁓ we do. ⁓ yeah.


Dr. Angie Krause (07:34)

inhumane.


We do know how many, yeah, they have,


they have a similar amount to us. So they, and the thing is cats just make better life choices anyways. So they're not getting into the brownies or getting into the weed, you know? And, if they do, they're just not as high. Yeah.


JoJo (07:45)

Okay.


Right.


Okay, but


we still are not advocating for giving your cat THC.


Dr. Angie Krause (08:02)

Absolutely not, because they might


have a really anxious time. Like, don't do it. It's just no way to live. Yeah. We're not doing that. Yeah. Stick to the CBD.


JoJo (08:08)

Right, okay, stick to the CBD, which


palatability is something that we get a lot of questions about. Like there's no way my cat's going to take a CBD oil. And I get that because most products are pretty skunky if they don't have a lot of additives. I can't imagine most cats would be like, yes, give me that. So we have a product.


that we carry partially because it's so palatable for cats. It's designed with cats in mind. It's made with an MCT oil and just no other additives, which I love. No other flavorings. And it's so concentrated that the average 10 pound kitty's therapeutic dose is one drop. Not one dropper, a single drop. Yeah. So it's really easy to disguise in food if.


Dr. Angie Krause (08:40)

Right.


One drop. Yeah.


JoJo (08:54)

or ⁓ you have a trick with a freeze-dried treat. You just put your drop on a little freeze-dried treat.


Dr. Angie Krause (08:54)

Yeah.


Yes.


Freeze-dried treat. Because when you're giving cats CBD and they're already picky eaters, what you don't want them to do is you've put it on their food and then they're like, I hate this. And now I hate my food because cats are very dramatic that way. And so I always try to protect the food unless you know your cat will eat anything. And so I just put it on a freeze-dried treat because it's porous and it'll just absorb the oil. And I feel like most cats eat the CBD we sell. Don't you think?


JoJo (09:09)

Mm-hmm.


It's a very very rare that somebody It's like my cat won't take this because either we can get a creative solution in terms of sometimes It's rotating treats like they catch on after a while wait, know I don't want this freeze-dried treat anymore just change the freeze-dried treat or sometimes a little Tuna something smelly, but it really doesn't have a big smell to it and because and some of the times when I have gotten those calls people have been giving a dropper because I think it's just


Dr. Angie Krause (09:37)

Yeah.


JoJo (09:53)

When you go to the market for CBD, that is the typical dose, is it one milliliter is a dose.


Dr. Angie Krause (09:59)

Yeah, let's talk about that. But first what I want to say is if you do buy CBD for your cat from us and your cat won't eat it, we will take it back. And not everyone does that, but we don't want you to be stuck with a bottle that your cat won't eat. And so we'll take it back. But let's talk about all the other products on the market. So many.


JoJo (10:08)

Yes, we will.


Yeah, there's so many. are so many.


I feel on the weekly, somebody will send what CBD product they're using and it's a new one to me. There's just, there's so many out there with really, really cute marketing, I will say.


Dr. Angie Krause (10:29)

Yeah.


I know that the marketing is good and most of the products are bad. I hate to say that.


JoJo (10:39)

Yeah, what makes a product


bad? What makes a product bad?


Dr. Angie Krause (10:42)

I'm gonna just have a mean girl moment. I really hate saying negative things about other people's stuff, but I won't name any names, but so many of the products are not concentrated enough. And so people buy them because they're less expensive, but they're not equal. So they're not very concentrated and then people will give a dose that's usually under dosing their animal and they're like, well CBD didn't work. And I'm like, ⁓


JoJo (10:55)

Mm-hmm.


⁓


that is so common.


Dr. Angie Krause (11:08)

Yeah, like our stuff has one milligram per drop. And now there are other products out there that also have that same concentration, but there are the majority of the products that don't. And then they'll be like, but it's bacon flavored. Yeah, it's bacon flavored, but you have to give your cat two milliliters or two dropper fulls and it's never gonna happen.


JoJo (11:30)

Yeah, and twice a day, because most dosing should be done twice a day. And it should be given. I just throwing this in there as a, you know, tidbit. It's it's better given with a fatty snack or with a meal, which makes it more bioavailable. So just putting like, I hear a lot of people just squeeze it into their mouth, because that's going to be the most effective way to get in a full milliliter. Yeah.


Dr. Angie Krause (11:33)

Twice a day. Yeah.


Yeah. Yeah.


Yeah, don't do that. Also,


don't do that because your cat or dog's gonna hate that. I mean, sometimes they're forgiving. I know there's that exception.


JoJo (12:00)

I hate it.


Well, if it's bacon


flavor, can get why that is appealing. Right? I think, but I see that often that our price point for, it's a little tiny bottle. mean, if you can see this little bottle, if you're watching on YouTube, it looks tiny, but there's 450 doses in here.


Dr. Angie Krause (12:07)

You


cast.


Yeah. Yeah. It lasts a long time. Yeah. And it's high quality. the other thing we should say, put it in the refrigerator. And the other thing, the other, the other text or email we get is like, I left it out overnight. Is it still okay? Yes, it's still okay. But because the products we sell are so concentrated, unless you have a big doc, they're going to last you a long time. And so we're going to help.


JoJo (12:21)

That's a lie. that's so, yeah. yeah, what should we say?


yeah.


Mm-hmm.


Dr. Angie Krause (12:48)

keep that oil fresh and therapeutic if you put it in the refrigerator. And it has less smell if it's cold.


JoJo (12:55)

Well, and I've had this question. So what we have is an organic so that the marijuana plant or the hemp plant is grown organically. And then you can get a COA or a analysis that shows what we can get that on each batch that says, you know, is there any residue from the distilling process or, you know, there's just a lot that goes into it before it becomes an oil. So you want to.


Dr. Angie Krause (13:08)

Yeah.


Yeah, you want to know. they use, usually they'll use ethanol to extract it. So you can either use CO2 or ethanol for a while. CO2 was like really in and now maybe ethanol is better. I, know, that's fine. They, they do their thing, but if they're using ethanol, you just want to make sure that there's no residue of that leftover. And that's what the certificate of analysis, the COA is going to tell you. Like we tested for all the chemicals.


and to make sure that they are not present. And so that's really important to, because for pesticides, yeah, to make sure it really is organic. And that's important. It's probably less important for us as, we all usually weigh over 100 pounds, but you know, when you have a 10 pound cat, even residue of pesticide or extraction agents can be problematic. So.


JoJo (13:55)

and test it for pesticides as well.


Right, so


if you're shopping CBDs, that's something I would ask from the company, can I get a certificate of analysis? Because that's just transparency.


Dr. Angie Krause (14:17)

Mm-hmm. Yep.


Yes, absolutely. And if you ever want ours, we have one for every batch. And so we're happy to provide that for you because it's important.


JoJo (14:24)

Mm-hmm.


Okay, so on a high level, what things are they watching out for as they're shopping for CBDs? So they're watching out for pesticides. Go ahead.


Dr. Angie Krause (14:35)

Concentration. Yeah,


first of all, concentration. If it's not concentrated, it's going to be really a pain because you're going have to buy big bottles. You're going to have to buy them more frequently. And then the dose is going to be actually like larger. And so that's the first thing I look for. And then you want to see what their sourcing is, their certificate of analysis. I would say those are the two most important things.


JoJo (15:00)

Yeah. And what other ingredients? Cause a lot of them just have so many added ingredients that are just bulking up the bottle. ⁓ yeah, that's great because it's easy. You can go anywhere. You could grab CBD probably in the local gas station at this point. I bet. mean, maybe not for pets. So, I mean, just, it just seems like it's everywhere. So just be aware that not everything.


Dr. Angie Krause (15:01)

Yeah.


Yeah.


Really?


How do they process credit cards? Yeah.


Yeah.


JoJo (15:27)

They can look super, super, super cute, I'm telling you. Some of them I'm like, I wanna buy that, because that bottle is so cute. ⁓


Dr. Angie Krause (15:30)

Totally. Yeah. Or it says


like for dogs or it is bacon flavored or you know, it's got and I'm not saying that all CBD products besides the ones we use are bad. It's just that a lot of them are. Yeah.


JoJo (15:43)

No. Yeah. Well,


and that said, we do have bacon flavored treats. We have a made in treat form. Yeah. And cats and I think it's chicken liver flavor for dogs. No.


Dr. Angie Krause (15:50)

for cats.


Okay. Yeah,


I like those. The only thing I don't like about those is that it's more expensive per drop of CBD. Yeah. More fun to give. Try them both.


JoJo (16:04)

so much more expensive, but more fun to give.


My dogs love them.


Dr. Angie Krause (16:12)

Okay, so if someone comes to our website right now, and maybe by the time this actually gets released, is our new website gonna be up? When are we releasing this episode, do you know?


JoJo (16:13)

What else? ⁓


We'll be on the news site.


⁓


in the next few weeks.


Dr. Angie Krause (16:25)

Okay. Okay. Well, pretty soon after this is released, we'll have a new website. And so when you go to our website, I think we should talk about the different CBD products we have because it can be really confusing to know which one. And so I'm just going to make it easy for you. If you have, if you have a cat, you are going to get the hemp RX feline drops.


JoJo (16:35)

Yes, it can be.


Okay, what do you want to start with? ⁓


Dr. Angie Krause (16:49)

That's what you're gonna get. You're not gonna get any of the other ones. You're gonna start with that one. You're gonna make sure your cat likes it. If your cat doesn't like it, order the chews. And if you wanna just be fun, order the chews too. But the thing about the chews is while they taste good, they're less economical. And maybe right now I'm like all about the economics of everything. Yes. And so you can either, you can even get both and try them out, but don't do anything but those two.


JoJo (17:08)

I think we're all all about economics. You're not alone.


Okay.


Dr. Angie Krause (17:17)

if


you have a cat. So those are only two products you're seeing. If you have a small dog, 10 pounds or less, also just get the HempRx Feline


JoJo (17:27)

do not be offended by the word feline. The products will come and they will say feline. That is a marketing, that is a marketing ploy.


Dr. Angie Krause (17:30)

We're so sorry. Yeah, that, yes.


So sorry about that, but get that. It's, just going to be the best fit. If you have a like medium to large breed dog, get the hemp RX forte. That is the best product.


JoJo (17:43)

Mm-hmm.


That's this bottle


Dr. Angie Krause (17:56)

it's going to have one gram of CBD, one milligram of CBD from you're like not one gram, no, one milligram of CBD per drop in there. And how many mils does it have in there?


JoJo (18:01)

Yeah,


Yeah.


Well, it has 1,800 drops. So it's 60 mil. Yeah.


Dr. Angie Krause (18:11)

This is 1860


mil. Okay, so that's gonna last you a long time. Put it in the refrigerator. Now, we do have another product just called HempRx and it has... Let's go back to the forte, okay.


JoJo (18:19)

Well, may I go back to the Forte? Also


great for multi-pet household.


Dr. Angie Krause (18:25)

Yes, that's true.


JoJo (18:26)

So if you have


multiple pets on CBD, go with that big bottle. Okay.


Dr. Angie Krause (18:30)

Yes,


we have another product called just HempRx. It's like this, I know it was like the first gen. It's like buying the first gen of whatever. It has a half of a milligram of CBD per drop. The reason why we still have it is because people have it on subscription. It is less expensive and it looks like a better deal. It's not a better deal. If


JoJo (18:36)

It's like the stepsister. ⁓


Not a better deal.


Dr. Angie Krause (18:56)

For some reason, your animal won't eat any other ones, you can just send them back. So just start with either the HempRx feline or the HempRx forte. And if you really want to get just a regular HempRx, get it, you're just going to need twice as much.


JoJo (19:09)

Yeah, I can't think of a situation which is best utilized.


Dr. Angie Krause (19:14)

No, it's not. We just keep it. It's on its phase out, but we have so many people on subscription with it and they're happy with it it's working for them. It's still a great product. The other ones are just better. So.


JoJo (19:14)

Yeah, I think it's on its phase out.


Mm-hmm. Yep.


Well, and we have for big dogs. I like these for the situations in which we're headed to the groomer or my dog's been restless at night, something that I just need when I need it simple.


Dr. Angie Krause (19:28)

for big dogs as soft shoes.


Yes, it has three milligrams per treat. And so if have a big dog, have to use several treats to get a therapeutic dose. And so once again, it's a great way to administer. It's not the most cost effective, but it is very tasty. Have we ever had a dog not eat those?


JoJo (19:54)

No, I've never had a return on


Dr. Angie Krause (19:56)

Yeah, no one's ever returned. Yeah.


JoJo (19:58)

I mean, they're pretty moist and chewy. They look pretty good. Yep. Okay, so lots of options, because it can feel overwhelming. And it doesn't have to be overwhelming. And we will send you a dosing chart when you order. So you can figure out dosing or, you know, we can help you with that too. So yeah. I had, I do have one thing, because it can be a little confusing on this. The HempRx Forte is a broad spectrum.


Dr. Angie Krause (20:00)

Yeah, they're pretty stinky. Okay.


Yes.


Mm-hmm.


Okay.


JoJo (20:22)

and the HampRx Vline is a full spectrum. And that feels a little confusing.


Dr. Angie Krause (20:22)

Mm.


Yes.


Right. So the full spectrum means that it has trace amounts of THC. The broad spectrum means there's no THC detectable in the sample. And the reason why the cat one, the cat product, Hemporex feline has it is because cats are not sensitive to THC. Now 99.99 % of all dogs are not going to be sensitive enough to THC for a


broad spectrum product to bother them. So if they get trace, trace amounts of THC, they're not going to get high. But some people worry. And so for that reason, we have one that has just no THC, not detectable.


JoJo (21:10)

Yeah,


right. And the THC that we're talking about is still under the 0.3 % that still makes this a legal CBD product that we can ship to any state. So no one is. No, I can take it and I feel just fine. Yeah, yeah. And I'm super sensitive, so.


Dr. Angie Krause (21:17)

Yes.


No one's getting high. Yeah.


Just fine. Totally.


Okay. One more question that people have before we wrap it up is can I use CBD with other medications? We get this all the time. And yes, you can use this. I can't think of a medication that you wouldn't be able to use this with. I can think of one situation where if you had your dog on all these medications that increase serotonin,


JoJo (21:40)

yeah, that's good one.


Dr. Angie Krause (21:58)

like Trazodone, Prozac, you know, all of these other things. And then you added a whopping dose of CBD. There is a theoretical chance. I don't know if that's a word theoretical chance that they could have serotonin syndrome, but by the time you're using Trazodone and Prozac, you should be talking to your doctor about everything. So, I mean, your veterinarian is likely not going to know if drugs interact with CBD.


because most veterinarians don't know a lot about hemp-derived CBD. But what we have seen in clinical practice is that we haven't seen any interactions between heart meds and CBD, between psych meds and CBD, between blood pressure medications and CBD, between thyroid medications and CBD. We have not seen that. There are theoretical kind of interactions for some drugs that we haven't.


we have not seen actually come true in real life. And so there are no drugs that I use in my practice that make me feel like using CBD with it is off limits.


JoJo (23:05)

That's fantastic because people do get nervous, one, that they can overdose on it. the studies that have been done on it are at a much higher, there is so much wiggle room in the dosage. The studies are done at really significantly higher doses than we're ever gonna tell you to use.


Dr. Angie Krause (23:09)

Yes.


⁓ yeah.


Right. my gosh, they're so high. The pharmacokinetic studies where we look at how much CBD we have to give to reach certain levels in the blood, the doses they use, like, I'm like, are those beagles in the lab just having constant diarrhea? Because what?


JoJo (23:36)

Right? Like, because that's the main side effect we're


going to see, right? Yes.


Dr. Angie Krause (23:41)

Yeah, so if you were to overdose, like if your dog were to get in and eat the whole bottle of HempRx, I imagine there would be some diarrhea. I know that when I take 50 milligrams of CBD on an empty stomach, sometimes it makes me nauseous. But I mean, that's also a big whopping dose and I get nauseous all the time. so I feel like the every once in a while we'll see some GI side effects, but for the most part.


You're probably not going to notice anything, but that is an expensive event for your dog to take the whole bottle.


JoJo (24:10)

Right.


Well, and I think people worry also because there's studies that have come out on the human side about how it can cause liver disease or fluctuations in liver enzymes. ⁓


Dr. Angie Krause (24:21)

That was on the dog side that they came out. So we know, yeah, so some dogs had elevated liver enzymes at a very high dose initially, but we suspect that that falls off. And so no one's using those types of doses in practice. And so we tend not to worry. Yeah.


JoJo (24:24)

⁓ okay.


Hmm.


And overall,


just see, we have a consistent consumer or a customer base because it's working. So many people are coming in because their dog's seizures are managed or they're not having to be on such high doses of their seizure medications. we have to be careful with claims we make even though we see it happening.


Dr. Angie Krause (24:48)

Yes.


JoJo (24:59)

in real life.


Dr. Angie Krause (25:00)

Right. We can say what we're actually seeing happening, ⁓ but we can't say that things, know, the CBD treats epilepsy, which I think is fair because you probably need to be also using medications. ⁓ And that's all on a case by case basis anyways.


JoJo (25:17)

Right, so if you


have a question whether CBD would be a good fit for your cat or dog, we'd be happy to answer that. Like, yeah, put your question in the comment or.


Dr. Angie Krause (25:24)

Yeah.


Or if you want me to look at your pet's medical records, go to our website, boulderholisticvet.com, go to consultations, online consultations, and you can book a time with me and I can review everything. We can go over everything your pet is taking and whether or not CBD would be good to add to their regimen and how much to give.


JoJo (25:29)

Mm-hmm.


Yeah, great. I think that CBD in a nutshell.


Dr. Angie Krause (25:50)

I think we did it.


CVD in a nutshell. Okay, but do leave us a review and leave us a question in the comments wherever you're watching this. We wanna know how you feel about what we're doing and what you'd like us to talk about.
