Is your Dog Getting High?

You Should Probably Stop Getting Your Dog Stoned

Posted October 04 2012 view comments

Veterinarians in Colorado have seen a recent spike in dogs suffering illness from marijuana ingestion. Colorado is one of 17 states where medical cannabis is legal, leading to increased availability and risk to pets. Whereas previously vets were dealing with as little as 3-4 cases of stoned dogs a year, they are now handling up to 5 a week. The majority of cases are the result of pets accidentally getting into their owner's pot-based food products, though some incidents were derived from people intentionally getting their dogs high.
