My dog is anxious. Should I try CBD, hemp oil, or other calming aids?

Question

Is CBD oil or hemp oil better/more effective for a dog with anxiety? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Male | neutered | 7 years and 4 months old | 16 lbs

I can't say to be honest. As of yet, we have very little research on CBD oil in veterinary patients, so we cannot make any recommendations one way or the other about this product - we do not know what an appropriate dose might be, and if there are any potential health concerns or drug interactions in dogs. In addition, because it's a schedule 1 drug, it's illegal for us to prescribe or recommend. I do find a DAP diffuser is helping for dogs with anxiety, as well as a Sentry calming collar.
