CBD Dosing Chart for Pets
Dose Gradually
Judy Morgan, D.V.M., a holistic vet in New Jersey and co-author of “Yin & Yang Nutrition for Dogs,” recommends starting with 1 mg per 10 pounds of body weight twice a day—and monitoring your pet’s reaction.
Watch for Interactions
Though CBD has few side effects, cannabis does interact with some drugs. So it’s important that you and your veterinarian be aware of any changes in your pet.
If your vet doesn’t know much about CBD, consider going to veterinarycannabis.org for help. They provide consultations, courses, and can work with you and your vet by providing guidance about CBD products, dosing, and potential interactions.
