As more pet parents adopt a holistic approach to pet care, there is a growing interest in natural, supportive options that align with whole-body wellness, encompassing physical and environmental health.

That’s where CBD for dogs can fit as part of a broader routine that may help support your pet’s daily wellness. Along with regular exercise and a loving environment, CBD products can play a key role in helping promote calmness and foster a balanced routine.

What Is Holistic Pet Care?

Holistic care considers the whole picture; nutrition, routine, and gentle, natural options, such as pet-safe botanicals. It’s about how these elements work together to promote overall well-being in your dog’s life.

In this context, CBD products for pets can serve as a natural, plant-based option that supports calmness and balanced behavior. 

How CBD for Dogs Can Complement a Wellness Routine

CBD interacts with a dog’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a natural system in pets that plays a role in maintaining normal balance and supporting normal functions related to overall wellness.

At Honest Paws, we offer a range of CBD products, including oils and bites, specially designed to support your pets in everyday situations, such as changes in routine or schedule, travel, or exposure to new environments.

Here’s how CBD can fit into a natural pet care routine:

Supporting Mobility

From playtime to daily strolls, many dogs experience occasional daily joint stiffness. CBD may help support their mobility by:

• Promoting healthy joints and helping maintain joint mobility

• May help relieve inflammation associated with normal daily exercise and activity

• Easing joint stiffness due to regular daily exercise and activity

• Supporting hip and joint health

Supporting Calmness During Occasional Stress

Pets experience moments of occasional stresses and unease, just like we do. Many pet parents turn to CBD products to help their pets cope with external stresses, such as environmental factors like loud noises (like unexpected vacuum cleaners), separation, or unfamiliar visitors. CBD can help dogs maintain a normal and relaxed disposition to promote a calming effect on the nerves. 

Supporting Overall Wellness

Whether you’re raising a playful pup or caring for a senior companion, CBD can maintain everyday calmness and support normal emotional balance as part of a consistent wellness plan at any age. CBD may help your dog with the following:

• Maintain optimal health

• Support cognitive function

• Support and promote long-term health

Choosing the Right CBD for Your Dog

When shopping for CBD hemp oil for pets, carefully reviewing product labels can help you make an informed choice. Not all of them are the same, and here’s what to keep an eye out for:

✔ Source of CBD: Look for products made from organically grown, U.S.-sourced hemp. Honest Paws utilizes USDA-certified organic full-spectrum hemp extract to ensure purity and safety.

✔ Third-Party Testing: Choose CBD that’s independently tested for potency and purity. Honest Paws partners with an ISO 17025 17025-accredited lab and provides Certificates of Analysis for complete transparency.

✔ Full-Spectrum vs. Isolate: Full-spectrum CBD retains naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, while isolate contains only pure CBD. 

✔ Usage & Form: Consider how the product will be used: oils for precise administration, bites or chews for convenience.

✔ Ingredient Transparency: Review the ingredient list for any potential allergens or unnecessary additives.

✔ Brand Reputation: Look for brands committed to safety, quality, and transparency, like Honest Paws, which exceeds industry standards to provide premium-grade CBD.

✔ Veterinary Input: Consult your vet before introducing CBD if your pet has specific health concerns.

At Honest Paws, we take pride in delivering CBD for dogs using only trustworthy, and carefully sourced premium ingredients. Our full-spectrum Organic Hemp Oil is third-party tested and grown in the USA, always free of GMOs, soy, and corn.

CBD for Dogs FAQs

How Long Does CBD Stay in a Dog’s System?

The effects of CBD typically last between 4 and 8 hours, depending on factors like metabolism, age, size, and overall health. Be sure to check the label and administration guidelines of your CBD product to get the most accurate information. Monitoring your dog’s response to CBD can help you determine the appropriate administration frequency. Start with a daily amount and adjust based on your dog’s needs.

CBD Oils vs. Chews or Bites: Which Is Better?

This will come down to your dog’s preferences! CBD tinctures (oils) and soft chews or bites are both effective options. At Honest Paws, we use the same high-quality CBD oil, and it is present in all our CBD products to deliver consistency and reliability. Some pets may prefer the convenience of soft chews or bites for flexible portioning in a chew, while others may favor the oil. Regardless of how your pet takes their CBD, you can trust that they’re getting the full benefits. 

Can I Give My Dog CBD Every Day?

Yes! Honest Paws CBD products are designed to be used daily and can be part of your pet’s routine. Consistency is key: Regular use may help support your pup’s overall well-being and happiness-kind of like a belly rub, but from the inside out. 

CBD: Natural Support for Everyday Calm

CBD can be a meaningful part of a thoughtful pet wellness routine. When used regularly alongside healthy habits (and plenty of pets and belly rubs), it may help your dog maintain calmness and feel overall supported.
