Richmond Griner of Wag Works chats with Carter Easler, Director of Research and Education at CBD Dog Health and MycoDog, about the background, science, and education behind CBD Dog Health. Carter shares the story of the company’s founder, Angela Ardolino, and how her work in rescue, senior dog care, and long-term animal wellness helped shape the foundation of the brand.

The episode explores key distinctions between hemp and cannabis, as well as the differences between CBD and THC, and why those differences matter when developing products specifically for pets. Carter explains how CBD Dog Health approaches formulation, product development, and education, and how those efforts support pet parents, retailers, and veterinarians in making informed decisions.

Richmond and Carter also discuss the role these products can play for aging dogs, including considerations around mobility, cognitive changes, and overall quality of life, along with the science and research that inform those conversations.

This episode follows a previous Wag Pod conversation with Carter in Episode 23, which focused on MycoDog, the sister company to CBD Dog Health. Together, the two episodes offer separate perspectives on Carter’s work in education and natural wellness for pets.
