Can Medical Cannabis be Taken With Other Medications?
If your dog got into your cannabis stash, you’re likely panicking — and right to be concerned. Cannabis toxicity in dogs is a real veterinary emergency. Here’s what you need to know if your pet has ingested marijuana, and how to respond quickly and appropriately.
Is Cannabis Toxic to Dogs?
Yes — THC is toxic to dogs, even though it’s generally safe for humans. Dogs have significantly more cannabinoid receptors in their brains than humans do, making them far more sensitive to THC’s effects. What feels like a mild buzz for a person can cause serious neurological symptoms in a dog.
Importantly, edibles — especially chocolate-infused cannabis products — pose double danger, since chocolate is also toxic to dogs. High-THC concentrates present the most serious risk.
Symptoms of Cannabis Toxicity in Dogs
- Lethargy and disorientation
- Loss of balance (ataxia) — wobbly walking
- Dilated pupils
- Drooling excessively or vomiting
- Urinary incontinence
- Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
- In severe cases: tremors, seizures, or coma
What to Do Immediately
Call your veterinarian or an emergency animal hospital immediately. Don’t wait to see if symptoms develop. Also call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center: (888) 426-4435. Be honest with your vet — they can treat your pet more effectively with accurate information. There is no judgment; vets simply want to help your dog recover.
Treatment typically involves supportive care: IV fluids, temperature regulation, and monitoring. Most dogs recover fully with prompt treatment, though recovery can take hours to a full day depending on the amount consumed.
Prevention
Store all cannabis products — especially edibles — in secure, pet-inaccessible locations. Treat cannabis storage with the same care you’d give to medications. Curious dogs can and will consume edibles if left accessible.
