How to Administer CBD Oil

  • Best method: Place drops directly into your pet’s mouth using the dropper
  • Alternative: Mix drops into food or a treat
  • Frequency: Give CBD twice daily (morning and evening) for best results
  • Timing: Give at least 30 minutes before meals for optimal absorption
  • Consistency is key: CBD builds up in your pet’s system over 2-3 weeks of daily use

Dosage by Condition

Joint Pain & Arthritis

Start with the standard dose. Most pets show improvement within 2-4 weeks. For severe arthritis, gradually increase to the strong dose over a week.

Anxiety & Stress

Start with the starting dose 30-60 minutes before a stressful event. For ongoing anxiety, use the standard dose twice daily.

Seizures & Epilepsy

Start at the standard dose and gradually increase. A clinical trial at Colorado State University showed promising results for drug-resistant epilepsy in dogs. Always consult your veterinarian for seizure-specific dosing.

Skin & Coat

Use the standard dose orally. For topical application, try our Nose & Toes CBD Balm.
