Did you know that animals can benefit from CBD? Yes, that’s right. If you like to treat your pet with holistic medicine, then you should know about oil for pet CBD.
Pet CBD is rapidly becoming popular in the world. However, it is also important to know how you can use it for your pet’s betterment and relief.
What is CBD Oil?
CBD is an active chemical compound found in cannabis plants, including hemp and marijuana. Unlike THC, the chemical compound in marijuana that makes people high, CBD doesn’t affect your pet’s mental state or give them a “buzz”.
CBD works by interacting with receptors in the body known as the endocannabinoid system. It can help treat a variety of conditions in both humans and animals.

There are plenty of folks using CBD oil to help their pets. Anecdotes from pet owners, veterinarians, and researchers suggest that CBD may be helpful for many dogs and cats who suffer from arthritis, separation anxiety, pain and inflammation, seizures, aggression, and other conditions.
Although more research needs to be done on the subject of CBD oil for pets, there is evidence that it can help treat your puppy’s pain and anxiety. It can also help regulate seizures and ease inflammation.
Ways to Use CBD Oil for Pets
The CBD oil for pets market is one of the largest and fastest-growing segments of the hemp industry. This guide will help you understand what CBD is, how it benefits your pet, and learn how to use CBD for pets.
Like with any new treatment, you should talk to your veterinarian before giving your puppy CBD oil and make sure you know the proper dosage. You can purchase CBD oil designed specifically for pets at some dispensaries or online retailers, but you can buy human-grade CBD oil online as well.
When it comes to giving CBD oil to your pet, you have multiple options:
Add on Food
One of the easiest ways to administer CBD oil to your pet is by putting it onto their food. It is also the best, as it allows for the most consistent absorption and dosage. This method works particularly well if you have a cat or a dog with a small appetite, as they’ll eat everything in their bowl.
It’s also worth putting CBD oil on your pet’s food if they’re taking other medications. If your pet regularly takes medication for pain relief or anxiety, combining them with CBD oil could cause interactions that reduce the effectiveness of their prescriptions. By putting CBD oil onto their food, you can avoid these interactions and keep them feeling healthy and happy. Since CBD oil can have a strong taste, you may want to mix it with your pet’s favorite food.
CBD Treats for Pets
CBD treats are a fun way to give your pet CBD oil. They come in different flavors and sizes, so you can find something that your pet likes. You can use CBD treats as a supplement to a healthy diet. Since they are made with natural ingredients, the treats do not have any side effects.
CBD treats are generally preferred by pet owners because they’re easier to give and more palatable to pets.
Important: You should not give your pet CBD oil if he or she is taking other medications, such as steroids. This is because some of the ingredients in CBD oil can interact with other medications, causing adverse side effects.
Tincture
CBD comes in a tincture form and can be administered directly into your pet’s mouth with an eyedropper.
This method bypasses the digestive system and allows for nearly instant absorption into the body, which can be beneficial if you are using CBD to treat a medical condition.
For Dogs:
- Use only hemp-based CBD, never marijuana-based CBD
- Start with a low dose and increase slowly until you find the right dose for your pet (see dosing chart below)
- Use 1 to 3 times per day depending on the condition being treated
- Administer oil directly into the mouth using a tincture
Recommended Dosage:
- If you have a small dog or cat, a 150mg Pet Tincture is a great choice. This product contains 5mg of CBD per mL, so you can easily increase or decrease your pet’s dose by the drop (or 0.05mL). This product is recommended for dogs under 25 lbs and cats under 12 lbs.
- For medium-sized dogs, a 300mg Pet Tincture is a good option as it provides 10mg of CBD per mL. This product is recommended for dogs between 25 and 50 lbs.
- For large dogs over 50 lbs, we recommend a 600mg Pet Tincture which contains 20mg of CBD per mL.
All three of these products contain about 30 servings per container and can be used to supplement your pet’s diet on a daily basis. The recommended dosage can be found on each product’s label.
Topicals (Creams and lotions)
CBD oil can be safely administered topically (to the skin) in a cream or lotion form. These topicals, which are often infused with essential oils such as lavender and lemongrass, are commonly used to treat muscle and joint pain.
Topicals can be a great way to treat localized pain, itchiness, and inflammation. CBD topicals are typically applied directly to the affected area and are considered very safe. They are available in various forms including creams and ointments, lotions, sprays, or even patches. Because topicals aren’t absorbed into the bloodstream they are considered a good choice for treating skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis as well as common issues like arthritis, inflammation pain, joint pain, muscle soreness, nerve pain, and many others.
Important: Topical CBD products are not intended for oral ingestion, but rather for direct application to the skin. The compounds contained in these topicals can then be absorbed into the body through the skin’s pores.
