How It Works
CBD dosing in dogs typically starts at 0.1-0.2mg per kg of bodyweight twice daily. This conservative starting point allows you to monitor for any adverse effects before increasing. The dose can be increased by 0.2mg/kg increments every 5-7 days up to a maximum of approximately 2mg/kg/day. The volume to administer depends on the concentration (mg/ml) of your specific product.
Veterinary Research
Every formula is derived from peer-reviewed veterinary studies and clinical guidelines, not guesswork or generic rules.
