Does it exist? If not will it ever??:sbounce:

[ounce of FU]

why would you want to medicate your dog?..i really dont understand people that get their dogs high...its border line animal abuse. I dont think medicated dog food will ever be out..your pretty naive if you think this will become ava someday.

When animals reach maturity ,the later stages ,close to hospice > medibles (controlled dosages) could support the same 'chronic' *pain management of their masters

psst* veterinarians will prescribe glucosamine/choindroitin/steroids for arthritic prognosis > 'indica' medicated food will provide the last mos. in comfort for our furry friends w/o side effects (steroids) > don't expect most vets to agree b/c of conflicts of interest

I've done a lot of research on dogs and MMJ/smoking. Won't hot box the living room if they are in it. There is always a window cracked even in the winter when it's 20 degrees outside.

As far as eating it goes, no way would I ever feed MMJ to a dog, it is not something that is good for them. If you are worried about arthritic pain, get them on pharmaceutical grade 99% pure MSM (you can get it at good pet stores- not PetsMart) and a good anti-inflamitory - cherries are an excellent anti-inflam for dogs - then give them lots of love and you'll never know they have a problem. Learned this from my Great Aunt who rescues Great Danes (kinda cool huh?).

I have had three dogs over my life with horrible arthritis/hip dysplasia.

My 1 1/2 year old Old English Bulldogge's hips are so bad the Vet wanted to do full hip replacement on him when he was 6 months old! I said "No way, he's still growing!" Put him on the above MSM and cherries, now he hurdles anything he can find! After her knee surgery my 6 year old Pitbull started getting aggressive due to pain from arthritis. Again, lot's of MSM, cherries (I use a supplement not the straight fruit), love and - slowly - excersize and again you would never know there is a problem. Rain, sun, snow, morning, night, cold, hot, whatever, does not matter grab her leash and she is ready to go! She is also back to loving every single person/dog/creature - except for bears, squirrels, and snakes, she hates them - she meets!

Did the same thing for my Australian Shepherd (Maxwell Almost Heaven) from 4 years old, till he passed at 15, he was insanely happy and healthy till 3 months before. Ridiculous bad arthritis and hip dysplasia.

The only medicine you should regularly put in a dog's food is MSM, pro-biotics, and Omega oils IMO. Glucosamine and Choindroitin are good too, but MSM is way better in my experience.

Oh, and make sure they have a soft but firm bed/chill out place. A hard floor/concrete/dirt, doesn't do it for an older dog. They deserve some cushioning in their life! But I'm guessing you already do that!

Ive always pondered the benfits of MMJ and our 4 legged friends. My personal belief is I wouldnt do it, but i know of other who will feed thier dogs a bit of their bud. From what ive been told their dogs just chills out for a few hrs. I know of one owner whos dog will litterally run into his room when he sparks up a bowl.

[The Suicide King]

my dog has arthritist, nearly cried when i got news of this.

i was thinking of getting some medibles or making some in a low dosage to stop my dog from feeling constant pain

The thing is i dont want my dog to suffer greatly or else i will put him down, and of course i am such a huge animal lover that i dont think i have the guts to put him down, hell i grew up as kid with my dog.

I bought him some vitamins and some doggy chewebles to help build strong joints and bones, those work only slightly... He does chase me when i smoke but i dont feel like the bugger should be around it

SK ,my closest friend ,an Aussie ,r.i.p. ,made it thru 13 yrs ,no pain ,no nothin' > then arthritis ,Koala was very active > after numerous vet trips (glucosamine/choindroitin/msm-arnica) ,all temporary fixes ,it wasn't looking good > she was getting constipated from drugs > sooo ,started SLOWLY w/INDICA ,"exhaling smoke in ear"

Got to a point ,would just say *"some feel good" to her ,she reacted pronto ,tailspin and all ,ears @ attention

psst* don't recommend 'feeding' edibles

To shorten long story ,she lived out the next 23 mos. in extreme comfort > she went easy in sleep when her heart gave in > couldn't just let her suffer pain towards the end > that is all

"Pets are more commonly poisoned from marijuana through ingestion other than inhalation. THC is the toxin that causes the symptoms and is absorbed quickly after ingestion. THC has strong antiemetic effects which make it difficult to successfully induce vomiting to remove the toxin from the pet. Most animals will recover, but it may take 1-3 days."

Thanks for the research moonrocks > ingestion methods should be avoided > never needed to feed my girl ,she just took inhalation fine/dandy

The name of the supplement I use is called Hip Flex, 30 day supply is like $15 I think. You can't stop using it, but it and MSM have worked like a charm for me. It works as a general anti-inflammatory, so you can really use it for any type of pain your doggie might be going through.

Learned about it from my current (and favorite ever) Vet who is very holistic in addition to the standard medicinal treatments.

I assume that is your GSD in your sig. rix, great looking guy! I love shepherds, they have such expressive faces.

.....but I had a cat that was a roach thief!!

[cephas]

I'll confess, years ago I had a dog steal an entire 1/2 o. Found the bag three days later ripped open about 1/3 of it gone!

The only thing that happened is he acted like an 8 week old puppy for about a day, then slept and had really stinky watery poos for a day. But he was an insanely strong healthy 7 year old, 140lb Bulldog mix. That guy could basically handle anything a person could, plus some...big ol'goober!

My current bulldog, Chase, he steals the jars from the table when he wants attention! Never opens them, he just makes me run after him around the house!

OK I understand the reason's behind why animals should not be getting high with humans. I never get any animals high unless I feel that they need to use the herb as a medicine just like me.

My dog Link suffers from arthritis pain in his hips. It causes him to drag the top parts of his feet along the ground. He has raw patches where the ground has rubbed away the hair. It is very sad to see.

So I administered to him some of my medication by blowing it in his general vicinity.

It worked wonders for his pain. I took him on a walk immediately afterwards and he was so happy and pain free I could look at him and see.
His hips would no longer rotate so dramatically and overall his quality of life was improved for the next three days.

Then the thc stopped working. Link's pain returned.

I am going to take your advice and as soon as I acquire some money I am going to go buy Link some MSM and I will also make cherries a regular part of his diet.

I think that marijuana when used by animal's must be done so only with careful discretion on the part of the human being to determine the necessity of medication.

Remember when you get an animal high you alter their consciousness not yours.

If they suffer, you don't have to.

Only medicate an animal to end suffering not induce it.
