Fifty-two dogs qualified as having mild to moderate chronic anxiety and were either assigned to 5 mg/kg BW CBD or a placebo provided orally once per day for 90 days for phase 1. After a 30-day washout period, dogs that remained in the study swapped treatments (CBD to Placebo, Placebo to CBD), and began phase 2 for 90 days. Forty concluded the study with only minor deviations. At every visit (days 0, 45, 90, 120, 165 and 210), physical exams, blood collections (for CBC, chemistry and plasma CBD), an abbreviated Canine Behavioral Assessment and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ), and pet owner perception of their dog’s anxiety were completed. Adverse events were recorded. While physical exams remained the same among treatments, vocalization altered within the placebo treatment (p = 0.02). Plasma CBD revealed a large variation among dogs. There was no treatment effect on alanine aminotransferase, but alkaline phosphatase was elevated over time when supplemented with CBD, as expected, with averages below the upper reference limits. No significant treatment effects were found for any subscale in the modified C-BARQ; however, most subscales had a time effect (P < 0.001), indicating that pet owners perceived their dogs as being less anxious regardless of treatment. Future work on objective data, including stress-related biomarkers, may help elucidate whether there is any effect of CBD on canine anxiety.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17567,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Behavior-clinical Applications and Research","volume":"84 ","pages":"Pages 54-66"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146034983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that asthmatic horses would spend more time eating, less time resting, and would have fewer gastric ulcers when they are fed steamed hay compared to pellets. Nine asthmatic horses were housed indoors and fed dry hay to induce clinical exacerbation (baseline). They were then fed either alfalfa pellets or steamed hay for 4 weeks, in a crossover design. Horses were filmed in their stalls 18–22 h over a 24 h period during exacerbation, and the 1st and 4th weeks of each diet. Partial ethograms (time-budget and position) were recorded through the ZooMonitor application (Tracks software) using focal instantaneous sampling. Gastroscopies were performed before and after each diet. When horses were fed pellets, their time spent eating decreased by 33.8% during the 1st week (P < 0.001). Time spent eating did not change with steamed hay (48.1%, 47.8%, and 47.9%, P > 0.8, on exacerbation, 1st and 4th weeks). There was no association between diets and squamous gastric ulcers.

In this study, three observers with varying levels of experience, one expert in canine behavior and welfare and two dog owners, rate both the cooperative tendencies and petting responses of 20 dogs across two social contexts: interactions with (a) their owners (i.e., a familiar social context) and (b) the experimenter (a novel social context). We found that observer scores aligned only in the novel social context, suggesting a divergence among observers while interpreting the interaction of dogs with their owners.
