CBD for dogs and cats: what to know before you buy
What CBD drops for pets contain, how they are given and when to ask your vet first.
In short: choose drops made for animals, start with a low dose according to your pet’s weight, and ask your vet first if your pet takes medication. CBD drops for pets are not a medicine.
Why not the drops made for people
Drops for people often contain added herbs, essential oils or vitamins that were not formulated for animals. For a dog or cat, choose a product that was made for them.
What is in Poor Dog Charlie
Poor Dog Charlie is the CBD product for dogs and cats in our range. The manufacturer describes it as made for relaxation, restful sleep and general well-being.
- 5% CBD: one drop holds about 1.7 mg CBD, and a 10 ml bottle has around 300 drops.
- Salmon oil: a source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), with a taste pets like.
- Cod-liver oil: a source of vitamins A and D.
- MCT oil: the carrier oil.
How to give it
- Mix the drops into food or drop them straight into the mouth.
- Give them once a day.
- The dose depends on your pet’s weight: start low and follow the table on the label.
- Do not exceed the recommended daily amount.
When to be careful
- Fish: the drops contain fish oils, which matters if your pet should avoid fish.
- Pregnant or nursing animals: the product is not suitable for them.
- Medication or illness: ask your vet before you start.
