At the end of the four weeks, Halpert said that the results were encouraging. “Nine of the 10 dogs on CBD showed benefits, which remained for two weeks after the treatment stopped. We did not detect alterations in the blood markers we measured, suggesting that, under the conditions of our study, the treatment seems to be safe.” The team’s findings will provide the basis for future studies on the effects of CBD in treating human arthritis. Thanks to the 20 dogs who participated in the study, relief may soon find, not just our arthritis-suffering four-legged friends, but also the millions of people worldwide who struggle with the condition every day.
