Consultation
Step 1
Consultation
At your appointment, your vet will thoroughly assess your pet. If your vet considers cannabinoid therapy may be a clinically appropriate treatment, they will have an open discussion about your pets condition and symptoms, as well as treatment goals.
PrescriptionStep 2
Prescription
Your vet will write a prescription for your pet’s cannabinoid medicine once it is decided that cannabinoids are a clinically appropriate treatment. The medicine will either be supplied immediately from the vet practice, or the prescription will be sent to a specialised pharmacy. The pharmacy will call you (usually within 24 hours) to arrange delivery.
On-going SupportStep 3
On-going Support
You may be asked to complete a ‘Pet Journal’ to keep a record of your pet’s symptoms, especially during the titration period. Sharing this journal with your vet allows more accurate monitoring of your pet’s treatment and progress. On-going visits to your vet allows them to optimize your pet’s long-term outcome, goals and overall health.
