CBD Dosage Chart and calculator in Dogs and Cats
Knowing the right dosage of CBD for pets is crucial. Whether you’re giving CBD treats to your cat or administering CBD oil for a diabetic dog, it’s important to understand how much your pet exactly needs. With various CBD concentrations offered by different products, it can be tricky to understand the correct dosing requirements.
There may be no standard dosage for CBD given to cats and dogs, but there is a recommended dosing guide pet owners can follow. Before you administer any CBD products to your canine or feline, make sure to consider a vet-approved dosage requirements to avoid complications in your pets’ health.
Basic Dosing Rules for All Pets
The general recommended CBD dosage is 0.25 milligrams (regular dosage) to 0.5 milligrams (strong dosage) per pound of pet’s weight. For example, if you want to administer regular dosage of CBD to your dog that’s weighing 40 pounds, you may multiply 40 (body weight) by 0.25 (regular dosage). That will give you 10 milligrams of CBD as the correct dosage to administer.
Where to use the regular dosage for:
- daily health and wellness
- boost immune function
- old age
- allergies
- minor skin conditions
- stimulate appetite
- minor stress and anxiety
- digestive issues and nausea
- moderate arthritis and joint inflammation
- minor aches and pains
Where to use the strong dosage for:
- chronic pain
- severe arthritis and joint inflammation
- mobility issues
- epileptic seizures
- cancer-related symptoms
- tumors
- severe anxiety
- extreme nausea
- vomiting
The dosing frequency depends on the symptoms and treatment needed by the pet. In managing pain or inflammation, for instance, the normal dosing frequency is every 8 hours, or as often as required. To manage anxiety, CBD can be given half an hour before the expected event including fireworks, traveling, thunderstorm, separation, and leaving the house.
For other CBD purposes, you can safely give your pet once or twice daily.
