What is CBD?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in the hemp plant. Hemp is a cannabis variant that contains less than 0.3% THC.
Research suggests CBD may render a variety of therapeutic benefits for both humans and animals by interacting with the endocannabinoid system.
What Are the Benefits of CBD for Dogs?
Research and anecdotal suggest CBD has many potential therapeutic benefits for dogs:
- Anxiety & aggression — CBD has calming properties that can help your dog with separation anxiety, travel anxiety, and aggressive behaviors. A 2021 study on shelter dogs showed reduced aggressive behavior in the dogs after they were given CBD.
- Fear of loud noises — CBD’s relaxing properties can help dogs stay calm in the presence of loud noises, such as from fireworks.
- Inflammation and pain — Research has shown that CBD has anti-inflammatory properties in dogs. Anecdotally, our customers find that CBD is good for arthritis, joint pain, and cancer pain in their dogs.
- Sleep — CBD’s relaxing properties make it very beneficial for helping your dog fall asleep and stay asleep for longer.
- Appetite — CBD can address situations that make your dog not want to eat (e.g. pain and anxiety), thereby bringing your pup’s appetite to normal levels.
- Skin health — CBD has benefits for skin health in dogs. Research has shown it has therapeutic potential for conditions such as eczema.
- Epilepsy — Research has shown that CBD may help with epilepsy in dogs, although more inquiry is needed.
- Heart health — Anecdotally, research on CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties also indicates that it can support heart health in dogs. However, there hasn’t been any research on CBD for canine heart health.
- Immunosuppression and allergy reduction — CBD has been shown to have immunosuppressant properties. While suppressing the immune system may not seem like a positive thing, it means CBD can prevent your dog’s immune system from overreacting and causing allergy symptoms.

Do Veterinarians Recommend CBD for Dogs?

CBD generally takes 45 minutes to 1 hour to begin working in dogs.
Yes, the CBD itself is the same. Most pet products — including ours — are made with the same high-quality cannabidiol (CBD) used in human products. However, most CBD pet products also feature flavorings, such as bacon and peanut butter, that aren’t in products intended for humans.
The duration that CBD will work for your dog after you give it to them depends largely on the type of product you’re using. CBD treats tend to work for 4-6 hours and may work for as long as 8 hours, while CBD oil will typically work for 2-4 hours.
