CBD for Your Four-Legged Family
Dogs and cats have endocannabinoid systems just like humans do — making them responsive to CBD's balancing effects. Pet CBD is formulated with animal-safe carrier oils and appropriate concentrations for smaller body weights.
What the Research Says
A 2023 study published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science — the largest CBD study ever conducted on dogs, analyzing over 47,000 canines — found that long-term CBD use was associated with significantly reduced aggression in dogs. Other studies have shown promise for:
- Separation anxiety and noise phobia
- Joint pain and mobility issues in older pets
- Seizure frequency reduction
- General stress during travel or vet visits
Safe Dosing Guidelines
Start low, go slow. The general recommendation is 0.2-0.5mg of CBD per kilogram of body weight, given twice daily. Watch your pet's response for at least a week before adjusting. Never use human CBD products on pets — they may contain ingredients (like certain terpenes or sweeteners) that are toxic to animals.
Important Safety Notes
Always consult your veterinarian before starting CBD — especially if your pet takes other medications. CBD can affect how the liver processes certain drugs. Choose only pet-specific, third-party tested products with clear dosing instructions.
