Canna Companion Review

Written by Cathy Rozyczko — Edited by Jason Brett on February 9, 2021

Meet the pioneers of cannabis science for the animal world. Canna Companion’s team of veterinarians have been researching the effects of CBD oil on pet health for almost 20 years. They even have their own proprietary database of thousands of case studies that is helping the world better understand the proper delivery, doses, and treatment programs for CBD for pet issues like inflammation and more. Their CBD products are trusted by vets and pet parents across the country, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for this CBD pet brand at the top of their game.

Canna Companion began as a veterinary scientific research outfit. Dr. Sarah Brandon, current CEO, began researching and testing the effects of cannabis in pets starting with her own dog in 2000. A move to Washington two years later prompted more collaboration and more studies, eventually leading to the Canna Companion proprietary database of over 10,000 case studies detailing cannabis effects on thousands of pet patients. This scope of internal research is rare in the CBD business, and we tip our hats to this innovative and highly influential move that not only helps Canna Companion tweak their formulas, but the industry at-large understand better the endocannabinoid systems of our furry friends.

The combination of veterinary science with pharmacology and in-house clinical trials makes Canna Companion a true provider of holistic health solutions for pets. Their team is made up of Washington state-licensed veterinarians and vet technicians. We love that they recommend specific dosing instructions based on their years of research. Canna Companion purposely alternates various strains of cannabis in their product line to enhance the benefits of CBD. They’re also focused on sustainability, rejecting pesticides and chemical fertilizers and using recycled materials for packaging and marketing materials.

Canna Companion offers a premium CBD product line for pets using full spectrum CBD oil, which they found in their research to be most effective for pet health. On their website, customers can choose from feline or different dog sizes (small, medium, large, and extra large) and are then directed to specific products for their pet. These include CBD capsules in regular and extra strength and CBD tinctures. Customers can take advantage of a free phone consultation with a licensed veterinarian on the Canna Companion team to recommend the best course of action for their pet, customer service at its finest.

While Canna Companion claims to test three times during the production process for contaminants like microbials and residual solvents, they make no mention of purity testing protocols. With their background in meticulous research and team of qualified veterinarians ensconced in the CBD oil space, we don’t doubt that their products are safe and effective. But according to our methodology, which requires that CBD companies post independent results for purity and contaminants for each SKU, we are unable to grant the Safety Badge.

Bottom Line – Canna Companion has an impressive background in clinical scientific research to back up their CBD formulations for pets. This is a team of highly qualified individuals who deeply care about the health of pets and bettering the understanding of CBD’s interaction with the endocannabinoid systems of our furry friends. All that’s standing in their way of a perfect score is independent lab results posted to their site.
