CBD for Pets
How Much Dosage of CBD Oil Should I Give My Dog?
CBD oil works well as a natural remedy for dogs and other pets. However, how much CBD oil should I give my dog? What is the appropriate amount to assist my furry friend? Let's take a look at some of the factors that influence CBD administration to dogs.
Your dog's weight influences how much CBD oil they require.
First thing you should think about is how much your dog weighs. According to numerous veterinary reports and studies, it is safe to administer 1 - 5 mg for every 10 pounds of body weight.
Cannabidiol is a relatively new natural remedy for canine health conditions. Dogs, on the other hand, respond well to CBD, as they do to many other natural remedies.
Alright, great, but can your pet get too much of it?
Sure, your dog can overdose, but this is extremely unlikely because dogs can tolerate a LARGE amount of cannabidiol. If your dog becomes drowsy all of a sudden, it could be a sign that you gave your four-legged friend too much CBD oil. Allow your dog to rest if you notice signs of lethargy. Give him a lower dosage the next time.
Dogs, like humans, respond differently to CBD. Many veterinarians are open to using CBD oil to treat common dog conditions. You should discuss it with your dog's veterinarian if he has prior experience using CBD oil to treat canine health conditions.
What Dosage of CBD Oil Should I Give My Dog on A Daily Basis?
The verdict is still out on this one. It is reasonable to assume that if your dog is suffering from a specific health condition, you should give him CBD oil more than once a day.
Hyperactive dogs, for example, often benefit from more than one daily dose. As the owner of two Belgian Malinois, I frequently give CBD oil to my dogs twice a day. Once in the morning after their long workout, and once in the evening before they retire for the night.

When your dog is anxious, giving him CBD oil twice a day can help reduce his anxiety.
What Dosage of CBD Oil Should I Give My Dog on A Daily Basis?
CBD capsules can be given to your dog. It is not a good idea to give the capsules without a treat because they smell different than dog food. Wrap them in a treat or give them to him with his food.
If your dog was very well and you can administer drops to him, place them on his tongue or beneath his tongue. CBD helps dogs who are stressed by loud noises, such as fireworks. If possible, rub the CBD onto his gums with your fingers. Because CBD enters the bloodstream quickly, this is an excellent method of administering it to stressed dogs.
What about CBD dog treats?
There are CBD-infused dog treats available. However, determining how much active compound is in each treat is difficult. It is preferable to purchase a CBD product and incorporate it into your dog's daily routine in some way.
​
You can always try dropping drops on a treat if you're administering them.
Is CBD beneficial to all dogs?
CBD oil is an effective treatment for a variety of canine ailments, including anxiety, inflammatory disease, and pain. If your dog has a condition that causes seizures and convulsions, you may notice that the frequency and severity of the seizures are reduced.
A daily dose is required to reduce seizures. Giving CBD oil to dogs who are having seizures or convulsions does not work. It must be used on an ongoing basis, and you must find the right dose for your dog.
