Scientists Studied 47,000 Dogs on CBD... And Found Something Nobody Expected 👀
Okay, this one's wild. 😱 Researchers just dropped what might be the biggest study ever done on CBD use in dogs — and the results are turning heads. 🎯 Here's the setup: A team from Arizona State University and the University of Tennessee pulled data from the Dog Aging Project, tracking 47,355 dogs over four years (2019–2023). They wanted to know: does CBD actually DO anything for dogs, or is it just another overhyped trend? The surprising finding? 🤔 Dogs that were given CBD supplements for 2+ years showed a significant drop in aggression over time. We're talking dogs that started out MORE aggressive than average eventually becoming LESS aggressive than dogs who never took CBD, but here's the twist nobody saw coming: CBD didn't help with anxiety, agitation, or other stress behaviors. ONLY aggression. The researchers themselves admitted they're not sure why. 🤯 One of the lead scientists, Dr. Julia Albright, put it like this: "Most canine aggression is related to underlying stress or anxiety. It is unclear why only aggression seemed to be improved with CBD treatment." Some other interesting nuggets from the study: → 7.3% of dog owners in the study gave their dogs CBD products → CBD was most commonly used in dogs with dementia (18.2%), arthritis (12.5%), and epilepsy (10.6%) → Dogs on CBD were on average 3 years older than those not on it → CBD use was higher in states with legal cannabis (owners transferring their own health values to their pets 😂) The takeaway? This isn't a magic pill. But for dog owners dealing with aggressive tendencies — especially in older dogs — CBD might be worth a serious conversation with your vet. Just make sure you're buying from a reputable brand and watching the dosage. 🫣 Science is finally catching up to what a lot of dog owners have been saying for years. 🧪🐾 Has anyone here tried CBD with their dog?
