CBD Dosage for Pets
How much CBD to give your pet
Everything you need to know about pet CBD dosage
It is important to note that the dosage advice given on this page may differ greatly from what you have read elsewhere. This is because every product is different and our dosage recommendations are based on our unique concentrations and blend of CBD & CBDA isolate.
At Naturecan pets, we have created 5 different strengths based on the type of animal and weight. Meaning each strength has a different cannabidiol (CBD) content and therefore a different dose.
Determining the optimal dose and schedule for giving your pet CBD is critical because:
1
Consistent and correct dosing will allow your pet to experience the greatest possible benefit.
2
Doses that are too low might not help offer the needed support to yield maximum benefits.
3
Doses that are too high might result in you overspending on products whilst offering no additional benefit.

“How much CBD oil should I give my pet?”
…. Is the most common question we hear from health-conscious pet parents looking to support their pets in a safe and natural way. CBD is still pretty new to many people, especially our four-legged friends. The good news is that by following the protocol mentioned in this guide, determining an ideal dosage for your pet is both straightforward and clear.
If you haven’t bought CBD pet products before, reading statements like ‘3000mg cannabinoids per bottle’ or ‘10% strength’ can be confusing to digest and understand. Essentially, on a CBD bottle you will have a percentage (being the percentage of CBD in the whole bottle) as well as the number of milligrams (mg).
The ideal pet dosing is based on your pet’s weight and the number of CBD milligrams needed for optimal results. Our general recommendation is 2mg per 1kg of weight.

Top Tip!
Be consistent while you evaluate the results
Some pets take CBD as part of their daily wellness routine, others only use it as an occasional supplement to deal with situational issues (recovering from injury, stresses like fireworks, trips to vets or being left alone). We would always recommend a consistent daily dose, however, we understand this might not fit everyone’s lifestyle. Whichever way you plan to use CBD for your pet, be consistent until you understand what works best for them.
If using situationally, we recommend giving your pet CBD for at least 5 days to get a good baseline.
We recommend using a low dose when you start to use CBD if you have any concerns about using CBD for the first time. You may increase the dose to a high dose if your pet's symptoms or issues are severe. We always recommend speaking with your vet if considering the high dose.

Treats, oils, or both?
Treats offer an easy way to give your pet CBD while the CBD oils offer a more robust effect (absorption into the bloodstream is quicker).
We recommend using both routes: CBD oil morning and night, and treats throughout the day. Use the full recommended dose for the CBD oil and full recommended dose for the dog treats.



What is CBD?
CBD (or cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating compound found in relative abundance in the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa). Studies indicate that it may have the potential support a variety of health conditions, including anxiety, inflammation, insomnia and chronic pain. However, it is also important to point out that research is still in its infancy and lots more research is needed in these areas.

Why chose CBD & CBDA isolate?
Isolate is the purest form of CBD as it is separated from all other components found in the plant like terpenes, flavonoids or THC. Due to this fact, CBD isolate is the safest blend for pets and the best place to start when trying to help to relieve common concerns that animals experience. Because CBD isolate contains 0% THC this allows us to offer higher milligrams per dose, whilst being ensured that the product is safe and pure.

Terpenes found in hemp plants play a vital role in the health and protection and flavonoids give the plants its colour, taste and smell. Research into these remains very limited, particularly for pets. For example, some research suggests that some terpenes, like limonene, may be toxic to pets. We, therefore believe that isolate is the best format for pet safety.
