Is CBD for pets legal in Australia?

In Australia, CBD is classified as a Schedule 4 (S4) medication when used for therapeutic purposes for animals. This places it in the same legal category as prescription-only medications such as antibiotics or meloxicam.

This means:

✔️ Only veterinarians can legally prescribe CBD for pets
✖️ CBD cannot be purchased over-the-counter for pets
⚠️ Unregulated products sold online may contain variable levels of CBD, THC, or contaminants — and may not be safe or effective for animals

Veterinary-prescribed CBD is ethically sourced, rigorously tested, and tailored to suit species-specific safety profiles, which is especially important for cats, small dogs, and elderly pets.
