Useful Information
Because of current laws, businesses cannot sell CBD products made for animals. Veterinarians can, however, prescribe “human” CBD products to be given to animals in accordance with the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) rules established by the UK government.
When utilising these, which are typically merely over-the-counter, non-prescription CBD oils that can be added to a pet’s diet, you must still exercise caution of course.
So let’s sum everything up: UK CBD vendors are only permitted to advertise (human) CBD products as “food supplements”; they are not permitted to make any claims on the healthfulness of CBD or to discuss its inherent advantages.
And yet, the VMD recommends (human) CBD for pets and classifies CBD as “veterinary medication.” Silly right?
VMD statement on veterinary medicinal products containing Cannabidiol in the UK:
We consider that veterinary products containing Cannabidiol (CBD) are veterinary medicines and should be regulated as such. We have made this decision on the basis that products containing CBD fulfil the following definition of veterinary medicine in the Veterinary Medicines Regulations (VMR) by virtue of the effects they have:
Any substance or combination of substances that may be used in, or administered to, animals with a view either to restoring, correcting, or modifying physiological functions by exerting a pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic action or to make a medical diagnosis.
