CBD Dog Shampoo
CBD soaps and skincare products have become immensely popular in the past few years. You’ve probably seen such products directed toward humans, but CBD offers the same benefits to our pets! With HolistaPet CBD dog shampoo, you can take care of your dog’s coat and skin with every wash. The nourishing and revitalizing ingredients help soothe even the most sensitive skin, while the CBD helps provide soothing, all-around relief for the most enjoyable bath times.
But how does CBD work, and how does it benefit your dog? Is it actually effective? Let’s take a look!
What is CBD for Dogs?
CBD for dogs works just like CBD for humans. CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) to support these vital functions and encourage mind-body homeostasis (balance). Every mammal has an ECS, which regulates essential bodily functions like immune response, sensitivity, digestive health, memory, mood, and much more.
CBD is a naturally-occurring chemical compound found in the hemp plant. Hemp is part of the cannabis plant family, but it’s much different than its more famous cousin, marijuana. Marijuana contains large amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which causes the notorious “high” or intoxication you may be familiar with.
Although hemp has a very small amount of THC (0.3% or less), it’s not even close enough to produce similar euphoric sensations of THC. Many CBD products for pets have all traces of THC removed (broad spectrum). However, more than likely, your dog will not experience any serious side effects from any CBD product.
There are a few different types of CBD products for dogs. You can find CBD oil tinctures, dog treats, soft chews, and topicals. All of them are great for boosting their overall wellness!
Is CBD for Dogs Legal?
Yes! CBD is federally legal in the United States, so anybody in any state can enjoy its beneficial effects. CBD was legalized in 2018 with the passing of the Agricultural Improvement Act, also known as the 2018 Farm Bill.
The 2018 Farm Bill states that all hemp and hemp-derived products are legal nationwide. However, CBD products are only legal as long as they are derived from hemp and contain no more than 0.3% THC.
What is CBD Dog Shampoo?
CBD pet shampoo only differs from regular shampoo in one way – the fact that each bottle is infused with 200 milligrams of CBD. HolistaPet CBD shampoo looks and feels like any other shampoo that you can use when you bathe your pets. Keep your dog smelling great and looking even better with CBD shampoo.
Bath time is not always enjoyable for dogs. They may try to run away or hide to avoid it. The CBD offers the perfect opportunity to remove some anxiousness and jitters and show them that bath time can be fun. However, it all comes down to you, the owner, to really work with them and show them that bathing can be a great bonding experience!
What Are the Benefits of Using CBD Dog Shampoo?
Let’s get right into the benefits that CBD shampoo offers. Its primary function is moisturizing to protect the skin and keep your pet’s hair soft, but it goes beyond that. The CBD can enter the skin and muscle tissues to interact with the skin’s receptors for more relaxing, full-body relief. Here are just a few of the ways CBD shampoo can help your dog:
- Dull coat
- Soothe itchy skin
- Skin irritation
- Swelling
- Improves coat and skin condition
- Hydrated skin
- Strong hair growth
- Aid in hair loss
What Are the Effects of Using CBD Dog Shampoo?
The most common negative side effect of shampoos and soaps is skin irritation. Most brands of hypoallergenic dog shampoo lack the added benefits of CBD. With HolistaPet’s CBD shampoo for dogs, you don’t have to pick between CBD and skin protection. Our mild shampoo formula is suitable for dogs with all skin types, no matter how sensitive.
How Does CBD Dog Shampoo Work?
CBD dog shampoos work by supporting the functions of the ECS. There are cannabinoid receptors spread throughout the largest organ in the body – the skin!
Research has shown that the ECS plays a vital role in the health of skin cells. It does so in a variety of ways, more than we can get into right now. Plus, researchers continue to discover more about the ECS every day, so who knows what exciting revelations are still to come? Let’s go over some of the most important ways the ECS affects skin health.
Your dog’s skin (and yours) contains sebaceous glands. These glands produce an oily substance called sebum. “Oily” might sound a bit gross to you, but sebum doesn’t make skin greasy. Sebum moisturizes and protects the skin. You are covered in sebum right now!
A sebum deficiency causes dry, itchy skin. This is where CBD enters the picture. When topical CBD is applied, it can promote sebum production, keeping your dog’s coat shiny and soft. Further research has indicated that CBD topicals improve dry skin and soothe itching. If your dog has an allergic reaction to something, CBD can also help reduce swelling and redness to soothe irritated skin.
Can My Dog Get High With CBD Dog Shampoo?
No, your dog cannot get high with CBD shampoo. As mentioned before, hemp-derived CBD is federally legal if it contains 0.3% THC or less. THC is the compound found in the hemp plant that produces that infamous “high.” Our CBD shampoo contains no THC whatsoever and is suitable for all dog breeds. Plus, your dog won’t be ingesting the shampoo, so there’s almost zero risk that they will get high!
How Do You Properly Use CBD Dog Shampoo?
Using CBD shampoo for your dog is easy! It’s just like using regular shampoo, only better. Here’s how:
- Start by thoroughly wetting your dog’s coat so that you can create a lather with the shampoo. How much shampoo you should use depends on the size of your dog. Naturally, larger dogs need more shampoo to get a complete wash.
- Massage small amounts of shampoo into your pet’s coat, adding more as needed. Add more warm water, a little bit at a time, to evenly disperse the shampoo.
- Once you have generated a good lather, rinse your dog off completely. Dry them off as much as you can with a towel or hairdryer (use the lowest setting!). Make sure they are completely dry to avoid hotspots. You could also take them outside to dry in the sun, but don’t let them get in the dirt. You don’t want bath time to go to waste!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How Frequently Can I Use CBD Dog Shampoo On My Canine?
You can use CBD-infused shampoo whenever you bathe your dog. Now the question is, how often should you bathe your dog? It largely depends on the nature of your dog’s fur – whether it is long, short, straight, curly, dense, thin, etc. Generally speaking, you should bathe your dog once every 1-2 months.
You don’t want to bathe your dog too often since this can actually worsen their skin condition. CBD shampoos support soft skin and a shiny coat, but the actual process of taking a bath strips your dog’s skin of its natural oils. When you wash their skin off with water and dry them with a towel, you remove some of that vital sebum.
Don’t worry, this doesn’t make the shampoo any less effective. Remember, CBD penetrates the skin barrier as you massage your dog. This happens in an instant, so by the time you rinse them off, the CBD is already at work. Once you dry your dog, the CBD encourages new sebum production to replace whatever you stripped off in the bath. However, if you bathe your dog more than once a week, they could lose so much sebum that their sebaceous glands can’t keep up, even with the CBD boost.
Why Use CBD Shampoo for Dogs Over Other Products?
We have already explained how CBD shampoo is different than traditional dog shampoos. Those other products don’t support the ECS, so they might be much less effective at soothing swelling and irritation. Then, of course, we have to consider that essential sebum. CBD shampoo helps your dog’s skin hydrate itself long after the bath is over.
So with so many dog CBD products to choose from, what makes CBD shampoo stand out? Well, products like dog treats or oil tinctures are better for targeting the internal balance (very important!), but shampoos may be more effective for soothing joint soreness and aches and boosting coat shine.
So, which CBD products are best? It depends on your dog’s needs. If they are stressing out, hyperactive, or constantly aching, oral CBD would be the best choice. However, if your dog has skin issues or poor coat condition, you should try shampoo. You don’t need to choose one or the other because you can use both dog treats and shampoo for more complete, therapeutic care for your pup!
Can I Mix CBD Oil Into My Dog’s Shampoo?
You can mix CBD oil into your dog’s shampoo, but the real question is, should you? You can apply CBD oil topically, but it probably won’t be as effective as a specially-formulated CBD shampoo. The shampoo has a precise amount of CBD (200 mg) and other ingredients to address skin conditions.
HolistaPet’s CBD shampoo is formulated to clean and condition fur while being gentle on sensitive skin. Other types of shampoo could have undesirable chemical additives that cause skin irritation. At the very least, you should start with a clean, healthy shampoo before adding any CBD oil to it.
Does CBD Shampoo for Dogs Smell Like THC?
No! HolistaPet’s CBD shampoo has a delightful Mandarin Berry scent. You won’t notice any funky cannabis aroma, and you won’t smell dirty fur either! When you bathe your dog in this fresh and fruity lather, they’ll come out smelling so good you’ll want to bury your nose in their fur for hours.

I noticed my little Yorkie shedding a lot so a friend told me about this company that they currently get dog treats for their Pomeranian. I decided to try this product out alongside their new CBG oil two weeks ago and I am so happy with the results. The results have been amazing! It’s easy to apply and rinse off, smells great! Like berries! His coat is shinier and smoother and he has a lot more energy during the day which is awesome. He’s six years old but now he’s running around like he is a young pup. I can’t wait to try their other products. Thanks Holistapet!
