What this episode covers

If you’re looking at using THC and/or CBD with your dog, the choices can be confusing. Is CBD from hemp the same as from marijuana? Do you want full spectrum? Is THC the same as CBD? What’s cannabis, exactly??? Licensed veterinary technician and science writer Kate Basedow joins us to go over the key terms you’ll hear when it comes to CBD. In addition to safety, she explains why a Certificates of Analysis (COA) for quality assurance in CBD products for dogs might be important … and ventures into the endocannabinoid system's role in animals. This episode does not address the legal issues or medical benefits of the plant … but instead provides clarity so you can have an informed conversation with your veterinarian. Your Voice Matters!

Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
