“Since my dog has been diagnosed with epilepsy, I searched for a less aggressive for his body and that could help to decrease his epileptic attacks. When the dog was experiencing a crisis, we could only make it stop with a suppository and it was always slow to be effective. But, now that we are using CBD when the dog is experiencing an epileptic attack, in a very short time, the dog stops shaking and calms down. Now, the attacks are less frequent and less aggressive.”
