CBD is a wonderful choice for dogs experiencing joint pain from arthritis or injury. It has both anti-inflammatory and pain reduction abilities.

Hot spots can be very painful for dogs and should be treated early. If your pets’ hot spots are bleeding, we recommend consulting their vet for a course of treatment. However, CBD can help provide relief. CBD’s anti-microbial benefits and its ability to reduce inflammation can provide some benefits for dogs suffering from hot spots. Many of our customers use both our Skin & Coat CBD Treats with our CBD Pet Balm to help treat this.

Situational anxiety in pets is a type of anxiety triggered by various stressful situations. In dogs, these might be scenarios like car rides or loud noises like fireworks, thunder, and gunshots. Dogs can also feel anxiety when meeting new people are visiting new places. The benefits of CBD in all these situations can vary, but our customers’ dogs have experienced significant relief when using our Dr. Know’s line of CBD pet products.

No, CBD dog treats will not get your pet high. CBD edibles for pets are made using CBD extracted from the hemp plant. The hemp does not contain the levels of delta-9 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the chemical compound with psychoactive features that is also toxic to pets.

Generally speaking, it can take between 45 and 90 minutes for CBD to enter your dog’s system. For uses such as mild anxiety, inflammation, or pain, you should see some benefit almost right away once it is in your dog’s system. It may take several weeks of regular use for more severe cases to see extensive results.

We offer four types of CBD dog treats to help your pup with their specific issue. If your pup suffers from situational anxiety like issues with car rides, loud noises like fireworks or thunder, or even some mild separation-related anxiety, then we would recommend our Dr. Know’s Chill Pills dog treats. Chill Pills can also be beneficial for mild pain management. For a dog with arthritis or another type of joint pain, we recommend our Bone & Joint formula, which combines the benefits of CBD with glucosamine to provide extra relief for joint pain and inflammation. For dogs with digestion issues or even more several inflammation-related pain, our Digestion formula that contains both CBD and CBG would be ideal.

Yes, CBD works great for dogs with anxiety-triggered issues as they promote calmness and relaxation. It works best as a tool to help retrain your dog to disregard the trigger that is causing their anxiety. In the case of conditions like occasional discomfort, sleeplessness, or situational anxiety, it can take the edge off by helping them and you simultaneously.

Yes. The CBD oil works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system and supporting its goal. That goal is to maintain a state of balance, health, and homeostasis.

Both CBD treats and CBD oils contain cannabidiol, but one might be better for your pet’s issues. We often recommend using oil to treat chronic conditions like general anxiety, arthritis,  or similar conditions.

CBD Oil For Dogs

CBD oil is administered with a dropper that can be used to give a precise dose to pets and is usually applied to their food twice daily. We do not recommend applying the dropper directly to your dog’s mouth as droppers are typically made from glass and could create a hazard for your dog.

Giving CBD oil with food is a superior method for dosing because it increases the amount of CBD that gets absorbed, ensuring the active ingredients can take effect.

Compared to soft chews, CBD oil has a higher concentration of cannabidiol and contains other minor cannabinoids such as cannabinol (CBN) and cannabichromene (CBC), as well as terpenes and flavonoids—all compounds from the cannabis plant that have healing properties and can work together to increase the health benefits.

CBD Treats for Dogs

Our CBD treats are made with the same oil as our tincture and contain the same minor cannabinoids but in a lower concentration by weight.

The soft chews can be offered as treats, making it easy for pet owners to give them during a car ride, at the veterinarian’s office, or other places where dogs could use a calming boost. They may also have added natural flavoring to increase palatability for dogs.

Also, each chew contains a consistent amount of CBD, meaning the dosing is not as easily customizable as it is with oil products, but having it in a treat can be very convenient for travel.

What is CBG, and how can it help? Well, CBG is a cannabinoid, much like CBD and THC. It is a “chemical precursor” to CBD, THC, CBC, and many other cannabinoids. In a way, it is a building block for a wide array of cannabinoids. So how does it help? While there haven’t been complete studies on CBG’s benefits in dogs or cats just yet, there have been several preclinical studies indicating CBG has the following benefits:

Chronic pain relief: Research has found that CBG has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it potentially beneficial for conditions in dogs such as arthritis and hip dysplasia.
Mood enhancement: CBG could help dogs with anxiety without the drowsiness that CBD can cause.
Cellular health support: Research suggests that CBG can help slow the growth of cancer cells, so it could be beneficial for dogs with cancer.
Anti-bacterial agent: The topical use of CBG could help dogs with skin infections.
Digestive health: CBG has been shown to offer a significant improvement in digestive disorders like colitis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Bladder issues: Research has shown that CBG can help promote bladder control.

Just like humans, dogs have an endocannabinoid system that allows them to benefit from CBD. This system is the pathway for the active ingredients in hemp to help relieve many symptoms.

CBD drops or treats for dogs can potentially provide relief for several conditions your pup may experience occasionally or chronically, including:

• Anxiety and stress
• Moderate to severe pain
• Chronic inflammation
• Arthritis & joint pain
• Digestion problems (also see information about dog probiotics and tips to cure a dog’s upset stomach)
• Nausea
• Symptoms from cancer

We recommend talking to your vet before starting treatment for these or any other of the claimed benefits to make sure CBD is safe for your pup.
