Companion CBD stands out as a beacon of innovation and trust in the thriving animal health industry. Co-founded by CEO Brad Malin, this Scottsdale, Arizona-based company is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of pets through evidence-based, all-natural CBD products and education. Brad’s journey is as compelling as his commitment to animal health, making Companion CBD a leader in the veterinary CBD market.
From Athlete to Entrepreneur
Brad’s path to founding Companion CBD began with personal necessity. After suffering numerous injuries and surgeries, Brad experienced the benefits of CBD for managing pain and anxiety. He recalls that CBD had a profound impact on me, and I knew I needed to create a business from it. Partnering with veterinarian Dr. Josh Sosnow, DVM, Brad transitioned his relief into a successful business exclusively for animal health.
Tailored Pet Health Solutions
Companion CBD offers a range of THC-free, evidence-based, organic, human-grade CBD products for a variety of conditions. From managing stress, joint care, and mobility to neurological conditions and more, Brad ensures that each product is backed by rigorous scientific research, the highest-quality ingredients, and third-party laboratory testing. This commitment to purity and safety has earned Companion CBD numerous awards, a loyal customer base, and brand name recognition in veterinary medicine.
Educating the Veterinary Community
A core element of Companion CBD’s mission is education. Recognizing a gap in veterinary knowledge about CBD, the company launched the first nationally accredited continuing education programs on the clinical applications of CBD for veterinary medicine. Brad notes that we’ve trained over 50,000+ veterinary professionals globally. This initiative underscores the company’s product manufacturer and educator role.
Eco-Conscious and Community-Focused
Brad’s commitment extends beyond product excellence. Companion CBD engages with local communities, offering discounts to first responders, military personnel, and teachers, and donates products to shelters. Their no-cost veterinary concierge service allows veterinarians and pet owners to consult directly with Companion’s team of veterinarians, ensuring personalized and effective care for each pet.
Overcoming Challenges
Running a business in the unregulated CBD market comes with its challenges. Brad emphasizes the importance of education and transparency to combat misconceptions about the CBD industry. Our credibility comes from being one of the firsts in the industry and by being a veterinarian-owned company, adhering to evidence-based science, he states. This approach helps build trust and ensures the efficacy of their products.
A Personal Touch
Brad’s personal experience with CBD informs his empathetic approach to animal health. As a father and serial entrepreneur, he understands the importance of quality care and resilience. This personal touch is reflected in the company’s individualized approach, where each customer interaction is treated with care and attention
Looking Ahead
Brad’s vision for Companion CBD includes expanding its evidence-based product line and continuing to educate pet parents and veterinary professionals globally. With significant growth predicted for the CBD market, Companion CBD is poised for international expansion while maintaining its focus on high-quality, evidence-based products.
