Considering CBD for your pet? Top Three SFRAW Recommended CBD Products

We do not sell CBD products at SFRAW.  We recommend that our members purchase reputable cannabis/marijuana (organic whole, raw plant) CBD products from their local cannabis dispensary, direct from the producer, and/or to use a home cannabis product delivery service. There are three product lines available currently that we recommend. Our first choice, is from Fiddler’s Greens. Their *raw* tinctures are made using the whole, organic plant that has been grown outdoors in nature, and they have not been heat-processed (decarboxylated).  They use a natural, clean, toxin-free extraction technique to provide a genuine and true herbal remedy that is considered safer for dogs and cats (since it is non-decarboxylated). We recommend two of these fine products only (we do not recommend the OG Kush for use in animals). For animals with most chronic conditions, Fiddler’s Greens Raw ACDC (20:1 CBDa/THCa ratio) is going to be a good first choice to experience the many benefits of a true herbal, unrefined CBD remedy.
