CBD for Dachshunds: 1 Very Good Reason Why (and Everything Else You Should Know)

Dachshunds have cannabinoid receptors throughout their bodies (the endocannabinoid system) that help regulate sleep, mood, discomfort, appetite and more. The hemp-derived cannabinoids and omega fatty acids in Hemp Well® products can support calm behavior, everyday mobility, and a healthy inflammatory response from normal activity.

Since 2012: We’ve sourced organic, cold-pressed hemp responsibly—no cheap filler oils. Learn about Hemp Well.

Why CBD for Dachshunds?

Calm & relaxation: Useful during fireworks, travel, crate rest, and separation scenarios. Try Calm Dog Soft Chews.
Everyday mobility support: Helps maintain normal joint function and ease from routine activity. See Relief CBD Soft Chews or Hip & Joint Soft Chews.
Skin & coat health: Our hemp is naturally rich in plant-based omegas (3, 6, 9) for glossy coats and healthy skin.
Tiny dose, big impact: Dogs—especially small breeds like Dachshunds—often need much less than humans. Start low, go slow. See our guide: How much CBD to give a dog?

Breed Notes: Dachshunds

Dachshunds are spirited, smart, and sensitive. Because of their long backs, your vet may discuss spine and mobility care over a lifetime routine. While CBD is not a treatment for IVDD or any disease, many pet parents use hemp supplements alongside vet-directed plans to support relaxation during rest and to maintain everyday comfort from normal activity.

Always consult your veterinarian—especially if your Doxie takes other medications or has a diagnosed condition.

How to Give CBD to a Dachshund

Pick your format: Fast, precise dosing with oils, or easy, tasty soft chews. Many families keep both on hand.
Start low: Use the label’s weight-based chart and begin at the low end. Adjust every 3–4 days until you reach the desired effect.
Be consistent: Daily use supports steady results. For situational stress (e.g., fireworks), give 30–60 minutes beforehand.
Observe & log: Track calmness, mobility, appetite, and sleep to fine-tune the dose with your vet’s input.

CBD for Dachshunds — FAQs

Is CBD safe for Dachshunds?

When sourced from reputable brands, free of THC, and used as directed, hemp-derived CBD is generally well-tolerated. Always consult your veterinarian, especially for dogs on other medications.

How much CBD should I give my Dachshund?

Use the product’s weight chart and start low. Small dogs often need only a fraction of human servings. See our dosing guide: How much CBD to give a dog?

How long does CBD take to work?

Oils given in the mouth typically act within 20–30 minutes; soft chews may take 45–60 minutes as they digest. Effects can be subtle at first—consistency matters.

Can CBD help IVDD?

CBD is not a cure or treatment for IVDD. Some owners use CBD to support relaxation and everyday comfort alongside veterinarian-directed care. Discuss any supplement with your vet.

Will my Dachshund get “high”?

No. Hemp Well® products are THC-free and will not intoxicate your pet.
