Dog seizures — whether from epilepsy, idiopathic causes, or other neurological conditions — are terrifying to witness. CBD has become one of the most discussed supplements for seizure management in dogs, with some encouraging veterinary research to back it up.
What the Research Shows
A 2019 Colorado State University study found that 89% of dogs who received CBD had a reduction in seizure frequency. Dogs on CBD had significantly fewer seizures than those on placebo — the most promising controlled trial data available for CBD and dog seizures.

Can CBD replace phenobarbital for dog seizures?
No — not without veterinary guidance. Phenobarbital and other AEDs should never be stopped abruptly. CBD may allow some dogs to reduce their AED dose over time under veterinary supervision, but this must be managed carefully with regular bloodwork monitoring.
How much CBD should I give a dog with seizures?
The Colorado State study used approximately 2.5mg/kg body weight twice daily. This is higher than standard wellness dosing. Always start lower and increase gradually under veterinary supervision when managing a serious condition like epilepsy.
