CBD is only one of more than a hundred different
phytocannabinoids that reside in the flowers of the
cannabis plant. Knowing how CBD functions is a good
thing; however, understanding possible interactions
with other medications and overall health and safety
remain a concern. In terms of safety, there's also the
concern of toddlers - or other uninformed humans -
getting their hands on the product and experiencing a
deleterious effect.
Regulatory hurdles
" There is quite a bit of research on the non-nutritional
benefits of CBD on pets, " Bookout said. " Safety, however,
still needs to be studied, as
well as if the CBD ingredient
is efficacious and
provides a benefit. "
His concern is that
some players in this
space have a sort of
" gold-rush " mentality.
They are producing or
using poor quality CBD
ingredients just to make
money.

Bill Bookout, National Animal Supplement Council
To move forward, more safety studies are necessary,
he said. It will also be paramount to have an audit process
with a verification of trust seal.
" We believe that robust safety research into possible
novel pet food ingredients will help to ensure a better
understanding of any possible impacts on pet health
and nutrition, " Brooks said. " Regulatory bodies can then
make sound decisions regarding ingredient definition
and approval when presented with the available science.
At the same time, this can also help support a regulatory
environment that is predictable for pet food manufacturers
so they will not depend upon a patchwork ingredient
approval system that varies state-by-state within
the US. "
In February 2022, the Association of American Feed
Control Officials (AAFCO), Champaign, Ill., initiated an
effort to address the growing use of illegal hemp products
in animal snacks and treats. In collaboration with
16 industry organizations, AAFCO sent an open letter to
lawmakers and other agricultural leaders regarding the
trend of state legislatures introducing bills that allow the
use of hemp and hemp byproducts in commercial livestock
feed and pet food.
