cbd is an amazing property of cannabis, for humans and pets! I give my little doggo CBD for her anxiety and joint pain... I wonder if a dog can take a low dose of Kratom?

I wonder about this too. Dogs and cats sometimes lack enzymes or have alternate levels of enzymes compared to humans, so it's hard to tell. Considering how many alkaloids there are in kratom, and considering how similar it is to caffeine (adenosine activity) I'd be worried it would be like giving them chocolate. So many possible interactions with herbal products plus the unknown/hard to understand metabolism of dogs/cats/etc and little research on kratom, it makes dosing extremely difficult if it's not outright toxic as the unrefined herbal product.

I would like to see studies with kratom extracts and dogs/cats for end of life care. I think that would be a worthy thing to investigate. It could help many people's pets live better lives, just like people. But I think it deserves a lot of care to study.

I would be afraid to give it to them since even giving them tylenol can be toxic to them.
