CannPal’s founder and managing director Layton Mills said that the presentation and AVJ publication were significant milestones.
“There is significant demand from pet owners for cannabinoid-derived therapeutics, but veterinarians don’t yet have a thought leader providing them with reliable data or regulatory approved products.
“The AVJ publication is the first step in CannPal establishing ourselves as the provider of that data, and hopefully of regulatory approved, safe and effective veterinary medicines.
“This is an important step in building a trusting relationship with vets as we get closer towards commercialising our products through various regulatory pathways.”
