Pet Drops

The amount of CBD you should take depends on a range of factors, most notably:

- Body weight
- Metabolism
- Individual body chemistry
- Environmental factors such as diet, exercise and even surroundings (apartment vs. suburban living)

As with anything new, always start with a small dosage of CBD and increase slowly. It may take a few days or even weeks for your pup to become fully acquainted with CBD before the calming or mobility benefits are truly observable.

Cannabidiol (or CBD), is a compound found in the hemp plant. It is derived from the plant through a variety of processes (read below about the difference in extractions method).

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a processing system that humans, dogs, and many other animals share. It affects many parts of our pet’s bodies, such as skin, digestion, sleep, and appetite.

All CBD oils are different as the hemp plant contains 80+ cannabinoids.

Full spectrum CBD is the most pure, unprocessed, and unfiltered hemp extract which contains all of the hemp plant's beneficial nutrients: cannabinoids, terpenes, and essential oils.

This extract offers a holistic approach to CBD, containing the full range of hemp's cannabinoids (among other nutrients), including THC. However, the THC in full spectrum CBD will always be under .3%, too small of an amount to invoke a 'high' feeling. You can check our 3rd party Certificate Analysis to verify this rate.

Full spectrum CBD's wide variety of naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenes work together synergistically to provide maximum effect.

Broad spectrum CBD is a full spectrum extract with all of hemp's terpenes and cannabinoids intact, before it's sent through a refinement process to remove the THC compound. For example, when removing the THC, some companies may use heat processes that destroy vital cannabinoids. Additionally, companies can commonly use synthetic variants and call them Broad spectrum CBD.

Summary

Full Spectrum CBD: Whole plant hemp extract with over 100+ cannabinoids
Broad Spectrum CBD: Whole plant hemp extract with over 100+ cannabinoids, but THC removed.
Isolate CBD: Highly-processed, often synthetic extract with the CBD cannabinoid isolated.

Shake well before every use. Fill the dropper to the desired amount. Our Drops can be given during or after mealtime.

A good starting point is 5 mg for every 25 lbs of body weight. For example, we would recommend that a 45 lbs springer spaniel start with our "Medium Dog" which contains 10 mg of CBD in each full drop. Each product is designed for your pet's size and weight so you can just safely follow dosage instructions.

In short – No. A 2011 review (and 2017 update) on the safety and side effects of CBD found that continuous use of CBD, even in high doses such as 1500 mg per day, is tolerated well by humans.

While we recommend starting small, it is safe to consume slightly more or less CBD based on weight (i.e. 10 mg vs 20 mg for the 45 lb. springer spaniel just starting off) and increase from there.
