What Dose of CDB Is Right for My Pet?

What Dose of CBD Is Right for My Pet?

If you’ve been thinking about giving your pet CBD for better health we’ve got some information on how to start doing so safely to get the best results.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is the regulatory system that governs appetite, the autonomic nervous system, energy and balance, immune function, metabolism, sleep, stress response, and more. Both humans, cats and dogs have the endocannabinoid system, and CBD can have a health-positive impact on your pets mobility by supporting the hip joints and connective tissue. Here are some of the benefits of CBD for dogs:

• Supports a calm disposition and healthy brain function • Can promote calm in distressing situations • Can support hip, joint, and bone health

It is important to note that CBD can be used as needed or on a regular basis. Some pets benefit from an everyday regimen of CBD, and others can use it on a short-term basis. A common short-term use for CBD is to help recover from a gastrointestinal upset, or to calm them down for a trip to the groomer. A common longterm use is supporting hip, joint & bone health. For long-term use give your pet the CBD product consistently for best results, because like with any dietary supplement, consistency is important.

1. The potency of CBD in the oil, treat or capsule 2. Your pet’s size and weight 3. The ailment you’re treating

The best way to determine the optimal daily pet CBD oil serving for your dog or cat is to start with a small serving based on your pet’s weight and incrementally increase the dose until your pet is showing improvement. Optimal CBD Dosage for dogs, cats, and other

pets is most effectively determined with consideration for each

animal’s unique physiological condition and health status. Each bottle of CBD has a specific concentration expressed in milligrams per bottle and milligrams per dropper (or treat). Once your pet is showing improvement, maintain that dose for as long as you see results. You’ll usually find that lower doses will work well for stressful situations and more severe joint/mobility or pain will require an increase in the dose. You may have to increase the dosage again as their body adjusts to the effects over time.

Keep a CBD journal for your pet and record these items as applicable:

• Your pet’s condition before starting treatment • Each day’s dose amount in milligrams (mg) • Any noticeable relief from negative symptoms • Improved mobility • Calmer sleep • Improved mood

Every animal responds differently because of course, each pet is unique! With tincture oils administered orally many pets start showing results within 15-30 minutes; however, some animals may take longer. When CBD is mixed with food or taken as a treat it can take about 30-50 longer because it’s absorbed through the stomach.

Finding the right dosage of any medication is crucial for your dog since their systems are more sensitive than humans. But the encouraging news about CBD is that it has been found to be safe and well tolerated by animals by the World Health Organization. And there don’t appear to be any harmful side effects from using a more natural remedy, even on a regular basis.
