CBD is an excellent solution for soothing your dog. Because cannabinoids act in the same way on both humans and dogs. What's more, numerous studies in recent years have shown that dogs are particularly receptive to CBD. So Mama explains how to dose CBD oil for your dog.
How do you determine the right dosage for your dog?
Before administering CBD to your dog, there are several criteria to consider. You'll need to choose the right dosage and concentration of CBD. Mama offers two different levels: 5% and 10%. The choice depends in part on the size and weight of your pet. But it also depends on theimportance of his problems.
For mild stress, anxiety or hyperactivity, you can opt for a light CBD oil. But for a dog with chronic pain, high aggression or difficult aging, a 10% oil may be more suitable.
You'll also need to choose the concentration according to your companion's size: small (between 1 and 5 kg), medium (between 5 and 20 kg) and large (between 20 and 45 kg). The number of drops required is equivalent to 2 mg per kilogram.
To find out how many milligrams are in a single drop, we perform a simple calculation: divide the total amount of CBD in the bottle by the number of drops.
Based on 200 drops per 10 ml bottle and 500 mg CBD per bottle. For example: 500 / 200 = 2.5 mg for a 5% oil and 1000 / 200 = 5 mg for a 10% oil.
Precautions to take when administering CBD to your dog
Even if CBD is a natural solution with no serious side effects for humans, it's important to be vigilant when it comes to dogs. Before making your choice, you need to be aware of one very important factor: the type of oil to be administered.
We strongly advise against giving an oil containing THC to your pet.. You'll need to use a CBD oil that's suitable for animals, and in particular one with a broad spectrum. It is not recommended to use CBD oil for humans.
