CBD for Our Four-Legged Friends
Hello, pet parents!
If you’re a part of the growing community of animal lovers who are turning to hemp and CBD products to enhance the quality of life for their furry family members, then this post is for you. Whether you’ve just begun exploring the benefits of CBD for your pets or are seeking guidance to ensure proper dosing, we’re here to help!
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the many beneficial compounds found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, the psychoactive compound most commonly associated with marijuana, CBD does not cause a ‘high’. It’s non-toxic and increasingly known for its potential therapeutic effects – both in humans and animals.
Proper Dose is Key
Many pet owners are turning to CBD products to help manage a range of conditions their pets might be facing – from anxiety to arthritis, seizures, and more. But before you introduce CBD into your pet’s wellness routine, it’s crucial to know how to dose it correctly. Overdosing can result in side effects like drowsiness, and under-dosing might lead to ineffective results.
Determining the Correct CBD Dose
CBD dosages for pets can vary greatly depending on the size, weight, and species of your pet, as well as the specific ailment you’re trying to address. Here is a general guideline that most veterinarians recommend:
- For both dogs and cats, a common starting dose is between 1 – 2 mg of CBD per 10 pounds of body weight.
While this is a good starting point, it’s important to remember that every pet is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Therefore, you might need to adjust this dosage depending on how your pet responds.
How to Adjust the Dosage
After giving your pet the starting dose, carefully observe them for any positive or negative changes. If there are no noticeable effects or if the effects are not sufficient, you can gradually increase the dose. Increasing it by an additional 0.5 – 1 mg per 10 pounds of body weight every week is a safe bet until you see the desired results.
On the other hand, if your pet exhibits signs of being overly sedate or appears uncomfortable, it’s likely the CBD dosage is too high, and you should decrease the amount.
