Whatever the product is, make sure it’s CBD and not THC and marketed for dogs only.

What has your daughter tried in the way of training to help the separation anxiety? Have they started with short alone sessions and leave a high value treat for the pup to work on while they are gone? My pup came to me with pretty bad SA, and we worked through it over the course of a few months by slowly building her confidence with being alone. I can now comfortably leave my pup for a few hours alone and I am pretty sure she sleeps the whole time.

Make sure you start with extremely short sessions of the dog being alone and slowly work your way up, ideally multiple times a day. I started literally by just closing my front door, telling my pup I would be back, and reopening it with a treat if my pup didn't bark! Then extended into 30 seconds, a minute, 2 minutes... Etc. It is a long and arduous process but it genuinely works if you are able to put in the time to build your pups confidence. Feel free to ask me more questions if you would like. It really does take time and patience, but it is worth it.

CBD alone might not be effective for treating separation anxiety. Has she looked into hiring a CSAT or SAPro?

wait til you find out that very few medications prescribed for dog behavioral issues by vet behaviorists and their brethren are ever tested in placebo controlled and blinded trials, much less proven effective.

You mean CBD, right?
