As with people, it’s best to begin at the low end. Start with 1mg of CBD per 10 pounds of body weight twice daily. If needed, slowly increase the dose every 4 to 7 days. Frequently, doses nearer the lower end of the range are effective but higher doses may be beneficial in certain circumstances. If you’ve achieved the desired effect for whatever is being treated, then you’re probably done.
Because potencies vary by CBD product, it’s important to read the label to determine the amount of CBD to offer, not focus on the volume of the product it’s in.
How often should you give your dog or cat CBD?
To control pain, give your dog or cat CBD every 8 hours or as needed. For other uses, give once or twice a day.
Please Note: this is just a guide, what works for your pet may be different. Just remember to slowly administer CBD to your pet week by week. Start off with the recommend dosage and adjust based on results.
