When first starting CBD, it’s important to begin with the smallest recommended dose. This allows your pet’s body to become accustomed to the supplement and can help you find the optimal daily dosage for your dog or cat.

Safe CBD Dosage for Dogs: Tips and Guidelines  will provide a helpful label with specific dosing instructions based on your pet’s weight. In most cases, you will need to enter the weight of your dog and the concentration (mg per unit or mg per mL) of the product to determine the correct amount to give your pet. Some owners choose to use a CBD dosing calculator to make the process easier. While these are helpful, we recommend that you always follow the guidelines on your pet’s CBD product’s label, and consult with a veterinarian for advice tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

Once you have determined your pet’s ideal daily dosage of CBD, it is a good idea to track their response with a journal. This will help you see how your pet reacts to each dosage, and will allow you to quickly identify any possible negative effects.

You can also use a journal to keep track of the total daily milligrams of CBD your pet is receiving, so you can be sure they are getting the optimal amount for their condition or target symptom. For example, if you are using CBD for anxiety or stress reduction, your pet may require a daily serving that is consistent in order to see an effect. You can deliver this in the form of a daily supplement that is administered as a pill or by using CBD chews or treats that can be given to your pet throughout the day.
