Veterinary Cannabis Counseling

New research suggests cannabis-based products can help support pets dealing with conditions like pain, anxiety, or seizures. We at Lifetime Pet Center of New Richmond are proud to offer professional veterinary cannabis counseling in New Richmond, OH, led by a Certified Veterinary Cannabis Counselor (VCC). Our goal is to help you explore safe, effective, and responsible options to support your pet’s health.

What Is Veterinary Cannabis Counseling?

Veterinary cannabis counseling is a specialized service that provides pet owners with evidence-based guidance on the use of cannabis-derived products for pets. This includes reviewing available products, determining safe dosages, understanding administration methods, and monitoring your pet’s response over time.

At Lifetime Pet Center, we take a harm-reduction approach, ensuring that pet owners are fully informed about product quality, potential risks, and the importance of veterinary oversight. Counseling sessions are available via phone or video consultation, making it convenient for both current and new clients.

When Is Cannabis Counseling Recommended?

Our team may recommend veterinary cannabis counseling for pets experiencing:

Chronic pain or arthritis

Anxiety or stress-related behaviors

Seizures or neurological issues

Cancer-related symptoms

Appetite loss or nausea

Every pet is unique, and cannabis products are not right for every situation. Our consultations help you make informed choices that prioritize your pet’s well-being.

Why Veterinary Oversight Matters

Not all cannabis products marketed for pets are safe — or effective. Without professional guidance, pets risk receiving unsafe dosages, contaminated products, or treatments that interact with other medications, potentially leading to adverse health effects. By working with our Certified VCC, you’ll have the peace of mind that your pet’s plan is tailored, safe, and based on the latest veterinary research.
