CBD Pet Products FAQ

What does the research say?

According to VCA Animal Hospital, about 20 percent of dogs will suffer from osteoarthritis at some point in their lives. Although this painful condition could affect any dog at any time, it’s far more prevalent in large breeds like German shepherds, Labradors, and golden retrievers.

Thankfully, CBD oil might have potential as an all-natural treatment for this common age-related ailment. Researchers at Cornell University recently released a placebo-controlled study focusing on CBD oil’s effects on arthritic dogs. Amazingly, dogs who received a daily dose of CBD oil seemed to have less inflammation and pain than those in the placebo group.

Scientists at the University of Kentucky also published a study examining CBD’s effects on arthritis. Although scientists applied CBD topically in this study, the results were the same: mice who received CBD appeared to be more flexible and had fewer inflammatory markers.

Note: before you buy CBD oil for dogs, please remember the FDA has not reviewed any of the statements made on this website.

Can CBD Help Your Pet Relax?

Another common reason people use CBD oil for dogs is to help with anxiety-related disorders. For instance, many pet owners feed their dogs CBD oil before a loud thunderstorm or a fireworks display. Some people also use CBD oil for dogs that struggle with separation anxiety.

Unlike osteoarthritis and epilepsy, however, we don’t have any hard data suggesting CBD oil could be useful for these conditions. There are, however, a few vets who admit to using CBD for anxiety-prone dogs.

How much CBD is enough for your Pet?

When it comes to dosing CBD for dogs, there are no standard recommendations. Heck, we’re still trying to figure out the proper CBD doses for humans!

Although finding the perfect CBD dose for your dog will take a bit of experimentation, there are a few basic rules to keep in mind. For instance, you’ll need less CBD oil for small dogs versus large breeds. Usually, dogs that weigh more need extra CBD to have a noticeable effect.

Here’s another tip: no matter what dog breed you have, it’s always best to start with the lowest possible dose and gradually increase by about 0.5 mg per day. Carefully monitor your dog’s response to CBD throughout the day and maintain a steady level once you notice the desired effects.

If you’re having a difficult time determining how much CBD oil to give your pet, use a ratio of 1 mg CBD per 10 pounds. For instance, if you have a dog that weighs 20 pounds, start with 2 mg of CBD per day. Usually, this is a good starting dose of CBD that you could gradually build upon.

How long does it take for my pet to feel the potential benefits?

Just like dosing CBD, there’s no established timeframe for when CBD’s effects kick in. Every dog processes CBD differently, so it could take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour before noticing effects. Monitor your dog for at least 30 minutes before deciding whether to give him more CBD oil.

Could CBD have any negative effects with my Pet?

In most cases, CBD is well-tolerated by both dogs and humans. That doesn’t mean, however, that side effects are non-existent—especially at abnormally high doses.

The most commonly reported side effects from CBD oil for dogs include the following:

Digestive issues
Nausea
A mild rash
Fatigue
Dry mouth

In most cases, you’ll only notice these symptoms if you feed your dog too much CBD. After seeing any of these side effects, you should stop feeding your dog CBD for one day and then try CBD again at a lower dose.

If your dog takes prescription medications or has pre-existing conditions, you must check with your veterinarian before supplementing with CBD. Be especially careful when administering CBD to dogs with liver ailments or blood pressure issues.
