Our dogs quickly become part of our family. It pains us to see them hurting whether it is physical discomfort or emotional distress. Luckily, CBD oil can provide some relief and give our pets the opportunity to live long and active lives.

Below are common questions pet owners have about CBD oil.

What are the benefits of giving CBD to dogs?

Like humans, dogs have an endocannabinoid system (ECS). This system interacts with and regulates various bodily functions including digestion, mood, stress responses, and so on. Certain compounds, like CBD, work to support the ECS and promote homeostasis throughout the body. 

Dogs can see similar benefits as humans after taking CBD, including increased feelings of calm, supporting overall wellness, and supporting healthy muscles in older dogs. 

Is CBD safe for dogs?

Yes! That said, it’s always best to consult your veterinarian before beginning any new wellness regimens for your dog.

The advice we give to humans also applies to dogs: Start low and go slow.

On choosing the right dose of CBD

Some possible side effects of using CBD in dogs could include dry mouth and increased drowsiness. CBD could interact with certain medications, which is why it’s important to talk with your vet, especially if they’re currently taking other medications. 

How do I know the right amount of CBD oil for my dog?

Determining just how much CBD oil to give your dog can be a bit confusing. The same advice we give to humans applies to dogs, too. Start low and go slow. Begin with a small serving size and then increase the amount of CBD oil after you’ve observed how it affects your dog.  

One of the biggest things to take into consideration is your dog’s size and weight. A general rule of thumb is to start with 1-2mg per 10lbs. If your dog weighs 25lbs, you consider starting out with 5mg CBD.

The amount of CBD oil you give your dog will also differ depending on why you’re giving it to them. Larger servings are usually recommended for more serious concerns, while lower servings are often used for general overall well-being and stress relief.

How do I find the best CBD oil for my dog?

If you’re a dog owner, you obviously want only the highest quality pet products for your furry best friend. Choosing the best CBD oil can be tricky, especially with so many products available on the market. When you’re choosing CBD, make sure you look for the following:

  • CBD oil sourced from US-grown hemp, as there are more farming regulations here than in many other countries.
  • Broad spectrum CBD oil, which assures there are no trace amounts of THC. 
  • Third-party lab test results with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) that proves there    is no presence of chemicals, pesticides, fungicides, bacteria and heavy metals. COAs also certify cannabinoid levels are the same as what’s claimed on the label. 
  • Reviews from other dog owners who have used that company’s products.  

What is the best CBD product for my dog?

We recommend a broad spectrum CBD product that has clean ingredients and third party lab testing.

If your fur baby is not living his or her best life, we recommend talking to your vet about giving CBD oil try.
