More about Dr. Robert Silver, DVM, MS, CVA
Happy Dogs by PBJ Equine's Formulating Veterinarian
"We have learned that the quality of the raw material providing the cannabinoids and terpenes plays the most important role to ensure successful clinical outcomes in our pets and farm animals. The ZERO THC full spectrum hemp oil from Folium Biosciences is, in my experience, one of the top hemp oil raw materials in the USA, and is absolutely safe due to it containing NO THC. Numerous reports over the past 5 years have documented the potential toxicity of THC to our pets. There have been a few deaths due to THC ingestion from well-meaning pet parents giving their pets some of their own medical marijuana."
-Dr. Robert Silver
Dr. Robert Silver brought his 35 years of practical clinical experience as an integrative veterinarian in Colorado to the hemp industry when he joined Folium Biosciences as their Chief Veterinary Officer.
With a BS in Animal Science, a Masters in Animal Physiology, and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, all from Colorado State University, Dr. Silver is uniquely qualified in this work to benefit the Colorado hemp industry.
In his many years of small animal veterinary practice in Colorado during the introduction of medical cannabis, Dr. Silver saw first-hand through his patients the clinical benefits of this plant. His training and experience as a practitioner of medical herbalism further allowed him to better understand how best to use this amazing plant.
Many veterinary species are sensitive to the unbalancing effects of the psychotropic cannabinoid, THC, and thus when the Federal Farm Bill passed in 2014, Dr. Silver began looking to hemp with its naturally low THC content as the ideal format for animals.
Dr. Silver recently participated in the Colorado Department of Agriculture’s Stakeholder’s group who discussed the safety and usefulness of hemp in animal feed, and who concluded that the FDA-CVM would be most likely (at this point in time) to accept a food additive petition (FAP) for the non-controlled substance parts of the hemp plant, namely the sterilized seed, seed oil, and seed cake.
