What dog owners say about our CBD oils for dogs

  • We use CBD oil for our 8-year-old furbaby, a dog called Gibbs. It works very well when he feels restless. We noticed the difference when we ran out, and since he got it again, everyday life has become much better for him and for us.

  • Excellent product and quality! My dog has seizures and their pet CBD has been able to control her episodes to the point of not needing any medication. I am forever grateful to Formula Swiss for that.

  • I am very pleased with using the CBD oils and have just started my 3 year old dog on the Pet CBD as well. Worked perfectly!

  • We use both the CBD oil for humans and dogs. I have a very reactive dog that had a very tough start to life before we adopted him. He was in one way or another different stages of fear or anxiety. I use the human cbd for myself so I started my Blu boy on the dog formula and we both have reduced our anxiety which makes walks and life in general more relaxing

CBD for dogs: our university research and other published studies

The publications below cover university research and other studies involving CBD and dogs. They did not all test Formula Swiss oils or this 2026 formula, and their findings do not establish that this product treats disease.

University of Bologna

Our university research into CBD for dogs

Formula Swiss has funded veterinary research at the University of Bologna since 2019. Professor Roberto Chiocchetti's team has also studied dogs, mapping the receptors that CBD acts on.

  • Tissue research

    Cannabinoid receptors in the dog's digestive tract (opens in a new window)

    Researchers mapped cannabinoid receptors throughout the gut. They did not test CBD treatment.

    What they did
    Researchers examined digestive tissue from dogs under the microscope.
    What happened
    Cannabinoid receptors were spread throughout the gut: in its lining, immune cells, blood vessels and muscle.
    Good to know
    A tissue study. It suggests where CBD could act in digestion, not that it treats a condition.

    Galiazzo et al. · Histochemistry and Cell Biology · 2018

  • Tissue research

    Cannabinoid receptors in the nerves that carry pain signals (opens in a new window)

    Pain-sensing nerves contained cannabinoid receptors. This was tissue research, not a test of pain relief.

    What they did
    Researchers studied nerve clusters beside the spine, which pass pain and touch signals, in tissue from eight dogs.
    What happened
    The nerves that carry pain signals had cannabinoid receptors, which could let CBD influence pain signalling.
    Good to know
    A tissue study. It shows where CBD may act, not that it relieves pain.

    Chiocchetti et al. · Frontiers in Veterinary Science · 2019

What other studies on CBD in dogs found

Selected studies published by other research teams, explained in plain language. They used other CBD products, so their results cannot be applied directly to any single product.

Joint pain and mobility

4 studies
  • Positive result

    CBD oil for dogs with arthritis (opens in a new window)

    Owners and vets reported less arthritis pain and more activity during CBD treatment.

    What they did

    Gamble et al. · Frontiers in Veterinary Science · 2018

  • Positive result

    Daily CBD for arthritis pain in dogs (opens in a new window)

    Pain and mobility improved with some CBD doses and formulations over four weeks.

    What they did
    Twenty dogs with arthritis received one of several daily CBD doses or a dummy oil for four weeks.
    What happened
    CBD reduced pain and improved mobility, and higher doses worked better.
    Good to know
    Blood tests showed no harmful effects over the four weeks. Results depended on the dose and form of CBD.

    Verrico et al. · Pain · 2020

  • Positive result

    CBD added to usual arthritis treatment (opens in a new window)

    What happened
    Owners of dogs that also had CBD reported less pain and a better quality of life within a week.
    Good to know
    Owners rated the results, and all dogs also took other painkillers.

    Brioschi et al. · Animals · 2020

  • Partly positive

    CBD for dogs with mobility problems (opens in a new window)

    Owners and vets saw improvements, but measured walking and activity did not change.

    What they did
    Forty-two dogs with mobility problems received CBD oil and a dummy oil for 45 days each, in random order.
    What happened
    Owners and vets saw some improvement while dogs were taking CBD.
    Good to know
    Measured walking and activity did not change. Liver values rose more when CBD was combined with anti-inflammatory painkillers.

Epilepsy and seizures

3 studies
  • Positive result

    CBD- and CBDA-rich hemp oil for hard-to-control epilepsy (opens in a new window)

    CBD and CBDA oil reduced seizures in a small trial of dogs with hard-to-control epilepsy.

    What they did
    Fourteen dogs with hard-to-control epilepsy received a hemp oil rich in CBD and CBDA and a dummy oil for 12 weeks each.
    What happened
    Seizures fell from an average of 8 to 5, and 6 of the 14 dogs had at least half as many seizures, compared with none on the dummy oil.
    Good to know
    A small study. Some dogs were sleepy or briefly unsteady, and one liver value rose slightly.

    Garcia et al. · Frontiers in Veterinary Science · 2022

  • Partly positive

    CBD for dogs whose epilepsy medicine is not enough (opens in a new window)

    The higher CBD dose reduced seizures alongside existing medicine, but few dogs had their seizures halved.

    What they did
    Fifty-one dogs whose seizures were not controlled by medicine received CBD oil and a dummy oil for three months each.
    What happened
    On the higher dose, dogs had fewer seizures and about a quarter fewer days with seizures.
    Good to know
    Few dogs saw their seizures halved. Some lost appetite or vomited, and liver values rose.

    Rozental et al. · Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine · 2023

  • Partly positive

    CBD alongside epilepsy medicine (opens in a new window)

    Seizure frequency fell with CBD, but the proportion of dogs with seizures halved was similar to placebo.

    What they did
    Dogs with hard-to-control epilepsy kept their usual medicine and also received CBD oil or a dummy oil for 12 weeks.
    What happened
    Dogs given CBD had a third fewer seizures (median), and fewer seizures went with higher CBD levels in the blood.
    Good to know
    About as many dogs saw their seizures halved as on the dummy oil. Two dogs became unsteady and one liver value rose.

    McGrath et al. · Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association · 2019

Stress

2 studies
  • Positive result

    A single dose of CBD when left alone or travelling by car (opens in a new window)

    A single CBD dose reduced some, but not all, signs of stress during separation or car travel.

    What they did
    Dogs received one dose of THC-free CBD or a dummy treatment before being left alone or taken on a short car journey.
    What happened
    Some signs of stress, measured in behaviour and the body, were lower in dogs given CBD.
    Good to know
    The effect differed between measures and between the two situations.

    Hunt et al. · Frontiers in Veterinary Science · 2023

  • Positive result

    Daily CBD for six months and car travel (opens in a new window)

    Daily CBD reduced some signs of travel stress, with results varying between journeys.

Safety

5 studies
  • Safety study

    Six months of daily THC-free CBD in healthy dogs (opens in a new window)

    Healthy dogs tolerated daily CBD for six months, although a liver value rose temporarily in some dogs.

    What they did
    Twenty healthy dogs received THC-free CBD every day for six months, and 20 received a dummy capsule.
    What happened
    CBD was well tolerated, with no effect on health or wellbeing.
    Good to know
    One liver value (ALP) rose temporarily in about half of the CBD dogs, partly from bone.

    Bradley et al. · Frontiers in Veterinary Science · 2022
