I have no citations. My caution stems from the premises of this thread, upon which others may rely without full knowledge of, namely, CBD products that contain THC (as many do), if even in fractional trace amounts. CBD is generally known to mitigate many of the effects of THC, but the products discussed in this thread represent huge unknowns, IMO, as far as purity, ratios, sources (e.g., male/female industrial hemp or flower), extraction methods, etc. The products that have been discussed herein may very well contain small ratios of THC, and even the smallest amount of THC can trigger and exacerbate anxiety in anxiety-prone individuals. Even though CBD content can mitigate the effects of THC to an undetermined extent - also know that CBD's can prolong the duration of THC effects, and by extension I offered that same caution for the benefit of a highly anxious dog. CBD can extend the duration of the effects of THC by inhibiting the cytochrome P-450 enzymes that would cause more rapidly metabolized THC - plasma concentrations of THC thereby increase when using CBD, resulting in a greater amount of THC available to receptors and increasing the effect of THC in a dose-dependent manner (which means the more CBD you use, the more THC becomes available). In any event pertaining to the dog discussed above, I do not think CBD is necessarily the answer, and I worry that experimenting on an animal may cause it GREAT undue distress and also possibly lasting additional trauma. Human biochemistry, neurology, and physiology are much different than in dogs and other animals, and CBD studies don't address those differences as relate to the emotional effects, or our ability to perceive and measure them accurately. Even as minute as some of those differences might be, such variation may result in huge differences in reaction from one species to another. I would not recommend experimenting at home in the absence of such needed certainty.
