Dr Chris Lee | Veterinary Director
CBD Vets Australia

I am Dr Chris Lee, a small animal veterinarian for over 30 years. I have always been passionate about pet welfare and the pet/owner bond. Early in my career, I certified as a veterinary acupuncturist and developed a keen interest in small animal surgery and orthopedics. More recently I traveled to the University of Tennessee to gain my Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner certification. I run my own pet practices in South Australia with an award-winning team with special interest in pet rehabilitation and regenerative medicines including advanced pain care techniques. I am excited to be the veterinary director of the CBD Vets Australia team as I have seen first-hand how CBD oil can be used not just for pain control but also for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, as well as a mood balancer for animals. As a fairly new modality of therapy, with its lack of significant side effects and wide safety margins, CBD is a viable alternative for long term pain control and an exciting adjunct therapy for veterinarians.
