sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just got a puppy named Buddy last week. I've read conflicting things online about this ellevet cbd stuff. What is it exactly, and is it safe for Buddy? I'm super new to this whole pet thing!

Hi there! First off, there are no dumb questions when it comes to taking care of Buddy. It's great that you're being proactive about his health. ElleVet CBD is a supplement made from hemp specifically designed for pets, and many pet owners use it to help alleviate symptoms like anxiety, pain, or inflammation.

As for safety, CBD is generally well-tolerated by dogs, but not all products are created equal. With a reputable product like ElleVet, you're usually in safe hands. However, it's always a good idea to consult with your vet to discuss the best options for your puppy's particular needs.

Here's what to keep in mind:

• Common symptoms that CBD might help with include mild anxiety or discomfort. However, if Buddy shows any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels after taking anything new, it's good to stay cautious.
• If Buddy ever seems extremely lethargic, can't keep food or water down, or shows signs of a severe allergic reaction—like difficulty breathing—those are emergencies, and you should contact your vet immediately.
• On the dose and toxicity front with CBD, it's important to follow guidelines provided by the product or your vet to avoid any overdose. Pay special attention to weight guidelines, as puppies are more sensitive to overdoses.
• If you're trying any new product for Buddy and he seems off, monitoring him closely is key. Keep him hydrated and comfortable. If his symptoms don't improve, definitely reach out to a vet.
• Always consult with your vet before starting any new supplement or medication; they'll guide you on what's safe for Buddy!

Remember, if you're unsure or Buddy’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
