Why Dr. Zac?
Dr. Pilossoph began proactively studying medical cannabis for animals only a couple years after graduating top of his class from the Tufts University Veterinary School of Medicine. Frustrated by the difficulty he saw pet parents experiencing when trying to find the right information about CBD, Dr. Pilossoph dedicated himself to advocating and educating on evidence-based information that can help guide the therapeutic uses of medicinal cannabis on animals. As a nationally recognized veterinary professional and Certified CBD Professional Educator from CBD Training Academy, Dr. Pilossoph provides more confidence for pet parents and veterinarians on the medical aspects of cannabis.
“Joining CBD Dog Health provides another platform for me to impart as much guidance as legally possible on how pets can transition to cannabis treatments and more natural therapeutic regimens,” said Dr. Pilossoph. “Together with Angela, I am excited to continue to educate and advance the industry so pet parents have the option to help their dogs and cats with properly vetted CBD products.”
Fire Flake Farm
On the heels of joining CBD Dog Health, Dr. Pilossoph has also joined the Board of Officials for Fire Flake Farm, a 501c3 animal rescue operation led by Ardolino in Lutz, FL. As the primary veterinarian for Fire Flake Farm, Dr. Pilossoph will oversee the safety of the rescue animals as Ardolino transitions them to cannabis treatments using CBD Dog Health products to give them a second chance at a happy and healthy life.
CBD Dog Health carefully formulates their products with all-natural ingredients, including full spectrum hemp extract that contains CBD, a range of cannabinoids and terpenes — the compounds in the plant that create therapeutic results. Providing products that offer a host positive benefits for pets, from reducing anxiety or pain and slowing tumor growth to treating hot spots and skin problems, CBD Dog Health only uses high-quality hemp grown in the U.S. with no use of herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
