Greencross is pleased to offer a free live webinar on 18 August 2026 exploring the latest developments in canine osteoarthritis management and the clinical application of CBDA Fortified Full Spectrum.
Presented by Dr Anita Bean, this evidence-based session has been designed for veterinarians and veterinary nurses seeking practical guidance on integrating emerging therapeutic options into osteoarthritis treatment plans. With the recent Veterinary Pain Advisory Committee (VPAC) recommendation supporting CBD as an adjunct to Beransa, the webinar will provide valuable insights into how these therapies can be used together to enhance patient outcomes.
During the session, Dr Anita Bean will discuss how CBDA Fortified Full Spectrum supports canine osteoarthritis patients through a multi-mechanistic approach targeting both inflammatory and neuropathic pain pathways. Attendees will also gain a deeper understanding of the unique pharmacological properties of CBDA, including its role as a selective COX-2 inhibitor and the potential advantages it may offer compared to CBD isolate formulations.
The webinar will cover practical prescribing considerations, including the safe use of CBDA Fortified Full Spectrum alongside NSAIDs and monoclonal antibody therapies. Dr Bean will also share dosing strategies from treatment initiation through long-term maintenance, guidance for setting realistic treatment expectations with pet parents, and specialised liposomal protocols for severe osteoarthritis cases requiring more intensive support.
Whether you are looking to stay up to date with evolving pain-management recommendations or further enhance your approach to osteoarthritis care, this webinar will deliver practical, clinically relevant insights that can be immediately applied in practice.
