Smilla’s Transformation: How CBD-Infused Dog Food Changed Her Life

Smilla is now 10 years old and has struggled with fears and insecurities throughout her life. Her biggest fear? Fire, smoke, and its smell. Even lighting the fireplace at home sent her into panic mode. Barbecuing? Forget about it—Smilla would hide immediately.

On walks, it’s always been easy to tell if someone nearby is grilling, burning leaves, or if there’s smoke coming from a chimney. Smilla would tuck her tail under her belly and slink along as if she were invisible. When out in the forest during a hunt, grilling sausages was out of the question if Smilla was nearby—she simply wouldn’t come back until she felt safe again. Though Smilla has never been afraid of gunshots, fireworks made her uneasy.

Have you heard of CBD oil?

I first tried CBD oil with our older dog, Tina. After switching from metacam to CBD drops, she transformed into a different dog—playful and happy again, even starting to play with Stubben. However, dosing was always tricky, and it was expensive.

One day, I came across a new type of dog food infused with CBD oil, but without THC. It claimed to support muscles and joints while helping anxious dogs feel calmer. Intrigued, and with my positive experience with CBD in mind, I knew I had to try it.

That’s when I got in touch with Johan Bertil, who runs @animaldelisweden. I met him in Stockholm during a visit in October and decided to purchase five 3kg bags in different flavors. My plan was to critically evaluate this food over a long period before sharing my personal assessment.

The Results? Life-Changing for Smilla

After several months of trying the food, I can only say one thing: I wish this had existed when Smilla was younger. She’s a sensitive soul, but today she’s completely unbothered by the smell of smoke. She walks confidently with her tail held high and shows no signs of discomfort.

Even on New Year’s Eve, as fireworks boomed from early evening until midnight—loud enough to sound like they were being set off in our backyard—Smilla remained calm. She slept peacefully through the night, completely unfazed. She now plays with our other dog in a way I’ve never seen before.
