**CBD Hemp Warning**

Before giving your pet CBD, it's important to consider the following factors:

​

 

Consult with a veterinarian:

​

 

It's crucial to consult with a veterinarian who is knowledgeable about CBD use in pets. They can provide guidance specific to your pet's health condition, breed, size, and any potential interactions with other medications your pet may be taking.

​

​

Quality of CBD products:

​

​

Ensure that you're using high-quality CBD products specifically formulated for pets. Look for products that are derived from hemp, as it contains less THC (the psychoactive compound) than marijuana. Choose products that undergo third-party testing for purity, potency, and safety.

​

​

Pet's health condition:

​

​

​

Understand your pet's health condition and whether CBD is appropriate for their specific needs. CBD may be helpful for certain conditions like anxiety, pain, inflammation, seizures, and more, but it may not be suitable for every pet or every condition. Your vet can help determine if CBD is a viable option.

​

​

Dosage and administration:

​

 

CBD dosages for pets are based on their size, weight, and the specific product being used. Follow the dosing instructions provided by the manufacturer or as advised by your veterinarian. Start with a low dosage and gradually increase if needed. CBD can be administered orally as oil, treats, capsules, or added to their food.

​

​

Watch for side effects:

​

​

While CBD is generally well-tolerated by pets, they may experience side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, or temporary changes in appetite. Monitor your pet closely after administering CBD and discontinue use if any adverse reactions occur.

​

​

THC content:

​

Ensure that the CBD product you choose has a low THC content. THC can be toxic to pets, and high levels can cause adverse effects, including toxicity. Look for products labeled as "THC-free" or with THC levels below the legal limit.

​

​

Monitor your pet's response:

 

Observe how your pet responds to CBD. Look for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. Keep a record of the dosage and effects to discuss with your veterinarian during follow-up consultations.

Remember, every pet is unique, and what works for one may not work the same for another. It's crucial to prioritize your pet's safety and well-being by seeking professional advice and monitoring their response when considering CBD as a supplement.
