Veterinarians depend
on science.

Veterinarians:

Discussing the science behind CHOU2 PHARMA with other passionate doctors reinforces a truth that guides us—engaged caregivers never stop looking for better answers. 

You’re why we’ve worked so hard to perfect our new take on pet cannabinoid science. Without the support of doctors who understand and believe in holistic health, many dogs will go without relief from common needs. 

Adding scientific rigor to the power of nature drives our innovative approach to cannabinoid pet care. When veterinarians see the science we put into each formula that carries our name, confident recommendations follow.
Then dogs and their families win.
