How Much CBD Can I Give My Dog?

You're not alone — many pet parents are wondering the same thing.

While there is no single magic number that works for every dog, starting with a reputable CBD company that provides clear labeling and dosing instructions is the smartest first step. Once you have a baseline dose, you can gradually adjust up or down to find your dog’s “sweet spot.”

Start Low, Go Slow

Dogs have more cannabinoid receptors than humans or other mammals, which means they respond to smaller amounts of CBD. A little goes a long way. Giving too much isn’t usually dangerous but can be wasteful and might make your pup drowsy.

Important Safety Tip: If your dog were to ingest THC (for example, marijuana brownies), they could remain affected for over 24–48 hours. That’s why Hemp Well® products contain 0% THC — just safe, organic hemp.

Weight-Based CBD Dosage Guide

Dog’s Weight Starting CBD Dose (Per Day) Suggested Method
Up to 20 lbs 2–4 mg CBD Soft Chews or Oil
21–50 lbs 5–10 mg CBD Split into two doses for best absorption
51–100 lbs 10–20 mg CBD Oil tinctures may offer the most precise dosing
Over 100 lbs 20–30 mg CBD Work up gradually, monitor response

Tips for Adjusting Dosage

  • 🕐 Split doses: Half in the morning, half in the evening for steady relief.
  • 📈 Monitor progress: Track changes in mobility, anxiety, or behavior daily.
  • 👩⚕️ Talk to your vet: Especially if your dog is on other medications.
  • 🔍 Look for clear labeling: Hemp Well products list cannabinoids per serving so you know exactly what you’re giving.
