It’s a great question and the one we hear the most! CBD is still pretty new to many people, including many of our four-legged friends. For both dogs & cats, a good rule of thumb is to start with 1-2mg for every 10 pounds of weight If you’re using our CBD Oils, remember that they come in different concentrations. The amount listed on the label is the total amount of CBD in the whole bottle and not a per-dose amount. So, for example, one 30ml bottle of 600mg CBD Hemp Oil contains 600 total milligrams of CBD, with each 0.25ml dose delivering 5mg of CBD, or enough for a 50 lbs. pupe.

How Long Does it Take CBD to Start Working?
CBD takes 30-45 minutes to start working. As a rule, oils tend to kick in a little faster than biscuits or treat just because there are fewer ingredients for furry bellies to break down first. But there’s no difference in effectiveness between the two.
How Long Does CBD Last For?
Each dose—whether from oil or biscuits—lasts from 4-8 hours. That’s a big spread, we know, but the duration can vary a lot depending on your pet’s size, activity level, breed, and the severity of their symptoms. But as a good rule of thumb: older pups tend to take longer than younger ones to digest food.
In Conclusion –Every dog and cat is different. They come in all shapes & sizes. That’s what we love about them! But it does mean that when it comes to CBD, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. It might take some experimenting to find the right amount to give your own fuzzballs. That’s okay—CBD is safe & natural, so no worries if your pet gets a little more or less than needed while you figure things out.
