CBD for Pets FAQs: Dosing, Products, Shipping and Returns

CBD (cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring compound in hemp. Dogs, cats, and horses all have an endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors that helps regulate mood, comfort, appetite, and sleep, and CBD supports that system. HolistaPet products use broad-spectrum hemp extract: CBD plus supporting cannabinoids like CBG, CBC, and CBN, with no detectable THC, so there is no intoxicating effect. See all CBD products for pets.

Yes, for healthy dogs at label doses. Hemp CBD is non-intoxicating, dogs tolerate it well, and HolistaPet products contain no detectable THC. The only common side effects are mild and temporary: drowsiness, a drier mouth, or a loose stool when the serving is higher than the dog is used to. Start at the regular serving on our CBD Dosing Chart and check with your veterinarian if your dog takes prescription medication or has a diagnosed condition.

Yes. Cats have the same endocannabinoid system dogs do, and CBD is well tolerated by healthy cats when it is formulated for cats and dosed by weight. Our cat line includes Broad-Spectrum CBD Oil for Cats, CBD Cat Treats, and CBD Calming Chews for Cats, all broad-spectrum with no detectable THC. A 10 lb cat typically takes 1 cat treat (2 mg) as a regular serving or 2 treats (4 mg) as a strong serving.

Most pet parents start with CBD Oil because it is the most flexible: exact drop-by-drop servings, fastest onset, and it goes straight in the mouth or on food. If your dog will not take a dropper, CBD treats or soft chews are pre-measured and feel like a reward. For a specific goal, pick the formula: Calming (CBD with chamomile and L-theanine) for stress, Mobility (CBD with Boswellia and turmeric) for joints, Wellness for everyday support. Not sure?

The best CBD oil for dogs is broad-spectrum (CBD plus supporting cannabinoids, no detectable THC), made for dogs rather than people, dosed by body weight, and backed by a third-party Certificate of Analysis you can read. HolistaPet Broad-Spectrum CBD Oil for Dogs is exactly that: Colorado-grown hemp, CO2-extracted, made in the USA, lab-tested every batch, in 150, 300, 600, 1,200 and 3,000 mg strengths and Original, Chicken, or Salmon flavor, from $29.95 with free shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

This is one of the most common reasons pet parents use it. CBD works with your dog's endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate mood and stress response, and our calming formulas pair it with chamomile and L-theanine to support relaxation without sedation. For a known trigger, give the full serving about 30 minutes before it starts. For dogs that run tense most days, a daily serving supports a steadier baseline. CBD supports calm behavior; it is not a treatment for a diagnosed anxiety disorder, so talk to your veterinarian if the stress is severe.

Our Mobility line combines broad-spectrum CBD with Boswellia and turmeric to support joint comfort, flexibility, and everyday mobility. Owners most often describe easier stairs, more willingness to walk, and less stiffness after resting. Give it daily, dosed by weight, and allow two to four weeks of consistent use to judge. CBD supports comfort and mobility; it is not a pain medication or arthritis treatment and does not replace veterinary care for an injured or limping dog.

A growing number do, and our formulations and wellness standards are guided by our Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr. Kwane Stewart, DVM (25+ years in practice, 2023 CNN Hero of the Year). Our health library is reviewed by a Veterinary Advisory Board of board-certified specialists. Your own veterinarian knows your pet's history, so ask them, especially if your pet takes medication. You can also ask a vet online for free.

Our general rule is 0.25 mg of CBD per pound of body weight for a Regular serving and 0.5 mg per pound for a Strong serving. Example: a 40 lb dog takes 10 mg regular (40 × 0.25) or 20 mg strong; a 10 lb cat takes 2.5 mg regular or 5 mg strong. Start at the regular serving for the first week, then adjust. The CBD Dosing Chart for Pets gives the exact ml, treats, or capsules per weight range for every product strength.

From the dosing chart: up to 25 lbs → 150 mg (regular serving ½ ml = 5 mg, strong 1 ml = 10 mg) · 25 to 40 lbs → 300 mg (½ ml = 10 mg, 1 ml = 20 mg) · 40 to 60 lbs → 600 mg (1 ml = 20 mg, 2 ml = 40 mg) · 60 to 100 lbs → 1,200 mg (1 ml = 40 mg, 2 ml = 80 mg) · 60 to 100+ lbs → 3,000 mg (1 ml = 50 mg, 2 ml = 100 mg). The 150 and 300 mg oils are 15 ml bottles, 600 and 1,200 mg are 30 ml, and 3,000 mg is 60 ml. Shop CBD Oil for Dogs or for Cats.

Match the bag to your dog's weight, then give 1 treat as a regular serving or 2 as a strong serving: up to 25 lbs → 150 mg bag (1 treat = 5 mg, 2 = 10 mg) · 25 to 40 lbs → 300 mg bag (1 treat = 10 mg, 2 = 20 mg) · 40 to 60 lbs → 600 mg bag (1 treat = 20 mg, 2 = 40 mg). The same servings apply to hard treats and soft chews. Once or twice a day is typical; try not to exceed two servings in a day. Shop CBD dog treats and chews.

Cat treats: up to 10 lbs → 1 treat (2 mg) regular or 2 treats (4 mg) strong; up to 20 lbs → 2 treats (4 mg) regular or 3 treats (6 mg) strong. Cat oil follows the 0.25 to 0.5 mg per pound rule (a 10 lb cat: 2.5 to 5 mg) and the 150 mg bottle serves most cats. Most cats take oil easiest mixed into wet food; treats and calming chews can be given by hand. Shop CBD for cats.

For daily wellness, one serving split into two (morning and evening) works well. For a stressful event such as a thunderstorm, fireworks, a car ride, or leaving the house, give the full serving about 30 minutes before. For most other uses, once or twice a day. Try not to exceed two servings in a day; consistency matters more than quantity.

Oil given in the mouth usually takes effect in 30 to 60 minutes; treats and chews take about 45 to 90 minutes because they pass through digestion. Effects generally last 4 to 8 hours, which is why we suggest morning and evening servings, and CBD clears a dog's system within about a day. Daily users often notice the steadiest results after two to four weeks of consistent use.

Shake the bottle, draw the serving into the dropper (the dropper is marked so ½ ml and 1 ml are easy to measure), and squeeze it into the side of the mouth or onto a small amount of food. For picky pets, the Chicken and Salmon flavors disappear into wet food. Hold treats until after the oil so the taste is followed by a reward.

Yes, with weight-based dosing. Most owners wait until a puppy is weaned and eating solid food, then start at the regular serving for its weight and build slowly. Senior dogs are our most common users, usually for mobility and calm; start at the regular serving as well, since older dogs can be more sensitive. Ask your veterinarian if the dog has a health condition or takes medication.

Oil is the most flexible (exact servings, fastest onset, on food or in the mouth). Treats and soft chews are pre-measured and convenient, and most dogs treat them as a reward. Capsules are flavorless and easy to hide in food or a pill pocket, with 5 to 100 mg per capsule depending on strength. Many owners use oil daily and treats or chews for travel and stressful events. Browse all products.

Two ingredients: broad-spectrum hemp extract (CBD plus supporting cannabinoids, no detectable THC) and a hemp seed oil carrier, with natural chicken or salmon flavor in the flavored versions. No additives, preservatives, or artificial flavors. Available in 150, 300, 600, 1,200, and 3,000 mg, in Original, Chicken, or Salmon. CBD Oil for Dogs · CBD Oil for Cats.

CBD Dog Treats for Anxiety & Stress are crunchy, peanut butter apple flavored, in 150, 300, or 600 mg bags, with chamomile and L-theanine. CBD Calming Chews for Dogs are soft chews with 5, 10, or 20 mg of CBD per chew, 30 chews per pouch. Both are vegan, non-GMO, and third-party tested. Choose the bag strength by your dog's weight (150 small, 300 medium, 600 large).

Yes. For cats: CBD Oil for Cats, CBD Cat Treats (salmon or chicken), and CBD Calming Chews for Cats. For horses: CBD Oil for Horses (7,500 mg) and CBD Pellets for Horses (3,200 mg), which mix into feed. See all horse products.

Full-spectrum contains every hemp compound including trace THC (up to 0.3%). Broad-spectrum keeps the supporting cannabinoids and terpenes (CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN) but removes THC to non-detectable levels. Isolate is CBD alone. We use broad-spectrum so pets get multiple cannabinoids working together without THC exposure, which matters because dogs and cats are more sensitive to THC than people. Each batch's cannabinoid profile is on our Lab Testing page.

Yes. All of our ingredients are non-GMO, dairy-free, and gluten-free, and our CBD treats and chews are vegan. We do not use preservatives, wheat, or refined sugar.

Our products are non-GMO and made with natural ingredients, with no preservatives, wheat, refined sugar, or dairy, so reactions are very uncommon. Check the ingredient list on each product page for flavor ingredients (peanut butter, chicken, salmon, sweet potato). If your pet reacts to one of our products, contact us and we will refund you under the 30-day guarantee.

No. Hemp seed oil is pressed from hemp seeds and contains essentially no CBD; it is a nutritious carrier oil (and the base of our tinctures) but not a CBD product. CBD oil contains hemp extract with measured milligrams of cannabidiol. If a label says "hemp oil" without a CBD amount, it is not CBD.

No refrigeration needed. Keep the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dark place away from heat, sunlight, and air, and it stays potent through the shelf life printed on the label. Refrigeration is fine for long-term storage but not required. Heat and light are what degrade cannabinoids, so avoid sunny windowsills and hot cars.

Side effects are uncommon and mild: sleepiness, dry mouth (more water drinking), or a loose stool, usually when the serving is higher than the pet is used to. Our products contain no detectable THC, so there is no intoxication. Start at the regular serving and increase slowly and you will rarely see any of this.

CBD has a wide safety margin and a true overdose at product servings is not expected. A dog that eats a whole bag will likely be drowsy and may have an upset stomach; offer water, let them rest, and call your veterinarian if you are concerned or if your dog is very small.

CBD works through the endocannabinoid system, a different pathway from most pet medications, and many pets take both. Because CBD is processed by the liver and can influence how some drugs are metabolized, talk to your veterinarian before combining it with prescription medication, especially seizure medications such as phenobarbital, and space the two doses apart. Do not stop or change a prescription to start CBD.

Some pet parents and veterinarians use CBD alongside conventional seizure care, and research is ongoing. HolistaPet CBD is a wellness supplement that supports the endocannabinoid system; it is not a treatment for seizures or epilepsy and never replaces a prescribed anticonvulsant. If your dog has a seizure disorder, ask your veterinarian whether adding CBD makes sense and how to time it with their medication.

We do not recommend it. Human CBD products are dosed for adults, often contain THC (full-spectrum), and gummies frequently use xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. Pet CBD is dosed by weight, flavored for pets, and, in HolistaPet's case, has no detectable THC.

It is the same hemp-derived CBD, so it is not dangerous, but pet oils are concentrated and flavored for animals and the labeling is written for pets. Keep pet CBD for pets and choose a human product for yourself.

Hemp-derived CBD is federally legal in the United States under the 2018 Farm Bill. HolistaPet products are broad-spectrum with no detectable THC, and every batch is tested for THC by a third-party lab. We ship to all 50 states.

Yes. Every product is tested by an independent third-party lab from start to finish: cannabinoid potency (CBD, CBDA, CBC, CBG, CBN, THC) to confirm the label amount, plus pesticides and residual solvents to confirm nothing unwanted is present. The Certificate of Analysis for every product and strength is published on our Lab Testing page.

Our hemp is grown in Colorado under the state Department of Agriculture's hemp program and extracted with CO2, a clean method that uses no solvents and leaves no residue. Products are made in the USA in a GMP-certified facility and shipped from Texas.

Find your product and strength on the Lab Testing page and open its COA. Check three things: the total CBD matches the label, THC reads ND (not detected), and the pesticide and solvent panels pass. The cannabinoid panel also shows the supporting cannabinoids (CBG, CBC, CBN) that make the product broad-spectrum.

A current third-party COA, real hemp extract (not hemp seed oil), a pet-specific formula with no THC or xylitol, clear milligrams per serving so you can dose by weight, and a real guarantee. HolistaPet publishes its COAs, uses CO2-extracted Colorado hemp, lists mg per serving on every product, and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
