What Can CBD Do For My Pet?

If you get real CBD and not just Hemp Seed Oil, you will probably see marked improvement in anxiety, appetite, arthritis, other forms of pain. I have epilepsy patients on it with their regular anticonvulsants. I can’t explain another common clinical improvement: Skin conditions.

Where Do I Get CBD?

I recommend CBDMD’s Berry Flavored tincture. I do NOT currently recommend any “animal” or “pet” labeled CBD product. Not even CBDMD’s – I am sure that the human product gets more FDA scrutiny, not to mention: It’s a better deal with greater economy.

Dosing CBD

How much should a dog take? How often?

Dosing CBD In Pets

The dose of CBD (a starting point with considerable leighway on either end) is 1/4mg/lb (.25mg/lb) by mouth (in the cheek or under the tongue) twice a day x 6 weeks then 1x daily for the long term. Simply, divide the dog’s weight (in pounds) by four, and you’ve got the milligrams of CBD to give twice a day.

“Cheek dosing” is 30-40% more effective than “in food” dosing. And you needn’t pry the mouth open. See image at left.

Not as important: Read this about CBD in one page. It talks about getting REAL CBD – and explains how to know if what you’re getting is ACTUALLY CBD or just “Hemp Oil” with little or no CBD at all.

What is a COA?

A COA is a certificate of analysis. Reputable companies prove that their products contain the stated amount of CBD by having a third-party laboratory check the CBD levels. LazarusNaturals provides the following for their COA’s by batch number. That’s top notch transparency.
