TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"Mobility improved, medications reduced"

"Our 11+-year-old Lab has mobility issues due to a bulging disc in her neck. She improved immensely under Tania’s care. We participated in Tania’s initial cannabis counselling regimen as a case study and the results were impressive. We would occasionally use Gabapentin and Metacam for flare-ups, but since transitioning to the newer CBD + CBG regimen Tania developed, we have not had to use the prescription drugs so far. Our dog has interest in play again and even did a couple of very short runs in the last few weeks since starting the CBD + CBG, and this is the best she’s been in over a year."
