THC is the psychoactive property of marijuana. Giving your dog Cannabis oil or oils that harness THC could possibly have negative side effects to your pet.  In other words your pet can get high or intoxicated!!

So how exactly do you choose which type of oil to use for your pet? First of all, you will need to realize that not all CBD oils are the same. They can have different amounts of active CBD and can go through different processes in creating the medicine. Here are a few tips to follow when you are looking for a good vet CBD oil for your dog.

To begin with, you will want to purchase an organic oil. All non organic oils may have such things as fungicides and pesticides within them. Don’t try to go for the cheapest oil you can find. Go for high quality full spectrum CBD oil. Lastly, we suggest get a good concentration of CBD in a tincture form so it is easier to deliver by dropping it on your pet’s food/water or directly in their mouth. With a good dropper bottle you can adjust your dog’s dosage drop by drop until the desired dosage amount is reached.

CBD oil for animals is a fairly new medicine but it has been proven to help dogs around the world with very little known side-effects. We suggest you browse our website for more information and options that are available to you and your pet!
