What happens if a dog consumes too much CBD?

If your dog ingests more CBD than needed, it may cause mild digestive upset or loose stools. These effects are temporary, and serious toxicity is extremely unlikely.

Are all hemp/CBD products safe for dogs?

No. Not all products are equal. Many brands use unknown fillers or untested extracts that may contain harmful substances. Hemp Well tests its products and maintains full transparency.

Can My Dog Overdose on CBD? What You Need to Know

Q: Can my dog overdose on CBD?

No. Dogs do not overdose from CBD. Excess CBD that isn’t absorbed is excreted through urine. Hemp Well products are formulated responsibly and use high-quality ingredients.

CBD—or cannabidiol—has become a popular natural option among pet owners looking to support their dogs’ wellness. But a common question is: Can my dog overdose on CBD? The short answer: no. Let’s explore how it works, what to watch out for, and how Hemp Well ensures your pet’s safety.

Why Dogs Are Sensitive (In a Good Way)

Dogs have **far more cannabinoid receptors** in their bodies compared to humans, particularly in the brain and nervous system. That means a little CBD can go a long way in dogs. Because of this sensitivity, proper dosing is especially important.

Why Overdosing isn’t the Concern

Unlike many medications, CBD is not associated with fatal toxicity in dogs. Here’s how the body handles it:

Excess CBD that isn’t absorbed into the bloodstream is typically excreted in the urine.
Hemp Well’s formulations use **organic, tested ingredients** to minimize risk.
In rare cases of overconsumption, dogs may experience **loose stool** or mild digestive upset.

Warnings & Why Product Quality Matters

Just because standard CBD won’t cause overdose doesn’t mean all products are safe.

Some brands hide behind anonymity; their extracts may be untested or contaminated.
Low-quality products may include unknown fillers, heavy metals, or even traces of THC.
Hemp Well submits adverse event reports to the FDA and rigorously tests each batch.

WARNING: These safety observations apply to vetted, high-quality pet CBD products—**not** to generic or unverified supplements.

When Too Much Just Wastes Money

Because of how dogs metabolize CBD and their sensitivity to cannabinoids, giving more than needed tends to be wasteful rather than harmful. Always adhere to the dosage instructions on the label and consider consulting a veterinarian if you’re unsure.

Tips for Safe Use

Start with the recommended dose on the Hemp Well label.
Monitor your dog’s behavior and stool for mild changes.
Use **THC-free CBD chews** like Hemp Well Relief Chews or our botanical Calm Chews.
Avoid human products containing high THC or unknown blends.
