Will CBD oil make my pet high?
No, NONE OF OUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN THC. All of the products we carry are CBD or CannaBiDiol oil. It is derived from the plant Cannabis Hemp, which is different from the plant Cannabis Marijuana. Cannabis Hemp contains virtually no THC while Cannabis Marijuana contains high levels of THC. CBD oil from hemp is NOT psychoactive and does not deliver a “high” feeling. You are likely to see relief in your pet from pain and inflammation, which could make them appear “happy” or “calm”.
Does Hemp Terpene oil contain CBD
Yes! Hemp Terpene oil is just another way to say CBD oil. It is one in the same. All of our products contain CBD. The milligram (mg) strength listed on the bottle is the amount of active CBD in the product.
Is it as effective for cats, dogs and horses as it is for humans?
Yes!! As mammals, we all contain the same endocannabinoid system and CBD1 and CBD2 receptors. We all possess the ability to utilize and benefit from CBD and its natural benefits. The dosages listed must be followed for different products and animal sizes for maximum safe results. When in doubt, start slow and increase as needed to the maximum dose.
How do I know which strength/bottle to choose?
There are two main factors to consider when deciding which milligram strength to choose. The weight of the pet and the type (severity) of ailment you are treating. We suggest referring to our Dosage Calculator or our post Dropper CBD Chart: How to Calculate Perfect Dosage in our blog to see our dosage recommendations.
It is always advisable, when giving your pet something new, to start out with small amounts while closely monitoring the effects and increasing as needed. Always speak with your veterinarian regarding any ailments or medications your pet may be taking prior to starting them on CBD.
How do I give the oil?
Each bottle comes with an oral syringe that contains 1ml of oil when filled. Follow the recommended dosage on the bottle or refer to our dosage calculator.
The most effective way for the oil to enter your pet’s system is by administering it directly into their mouths; however adding it to your pet’s food, or a small piece of bread seems to be the easiest way for our clients to give it with minimal fuss. It is recommended to give CBD twice daily as it lasts for 12 hours in their/our systems. However, it can be used as a one-time use in times of stress such as car rides, fireworks, trips to the vet, etc. In some of these cases a treat can be a great choice in addition to or to have for those times.
How long will it take for the oil to work?
It really depends on the issue and severity. For minor anxiety flare-ups, (car rides, fireworks, or short-term stressors) CBD oil typically works to calm your pet within 30-60 minutes. For more chronic issues, such as joint pain and mobility problems, it may take 2-4 weeks for optimal results. You may need to adjust your pet’s dose as you monitor their symptoms to find the sweet spot. For the relief of seizures, we have seen results in 7 days, when dosed twice daily. Remember that dosing CBD oil varies depending on your pet, your pet’s weight, and the ailment (or a number of ailments) you are treating.

We have been supplied with copies of all 3rd party lab tests for ALL of our products, so you can rest assured you are giving your pet the safest CBD product.
