We are seeking to better understand any unintended negative effects pets may have when exposed to cannabis and cannabis-related products.

As cannabis and cannabis products become increasingly available, tracking your pet's reaction to cannabis may be important in helping us reduce the risks of your pets getting sick from these products.

We are asking pet owners who have animals that have experienced negative reactions from exposure to cannabis or cannabis products, to report to us by completing this short survey.

Your participation in this survey is voluntary and anonymous.

Thank you for providing valuable information to help us improve animal and human health in Los Angeles County.
