CBD Oil and CBD for Dogs

All of our CBD products come from the same high-quality organic hemp source, but they are packaged in different forms to suit your pet’s preferences and needs:

• Oil: Fast-absorbing and customizable. Easy to measure with a dropper for personalized support, ideal for pets who need or prefer a liquid format. This oil is also present in our bites and soft chews, divided by quantity to suit different serving preferences. No chewing required!
• Bites: Crunchy, satisfying, and easy to give. Available in standard and mini sizes for flexible portioning, making them a great option for pets who love a good crunch.
• Soft Chews: Soft, easy to chew, and easy to break apart. Perfect for pets with sensitive teeth or those who need smaller, softer pieces.

In the right forms, CBD is perfectly legal and safe. Honest Paws does not compromise or cut corners as we care deeply about what we give to our own pets.

CBD is a natural oil derived from the hemp plant, a variety of Cannabis sativa. It’s available in broad-spectrum and full-spectrum forms and can be used in supplements for dogs. Honest Paws’ products are non-intoxicating, adhere to federal guidelines, and are lab-tested for purity and free from contaminants. The products on our shop contain less than 0.3% THC, making them legal and compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill.

Many peer reviewed scientific studies are stacking up showing the safety and efficacy of CBD for pets. A 2024 study published in PubMed Central found that oral administration of broad-spectrum CBD at 4 mg/kg twice daily for 6 months was well-tolerated in healthy adult dogs, with no significant adverse effects on clinical health parameters.

While our products are safe and made with premium ingredients, we recommend waiting until at least 6 months old to administer CBD to your puppy. Puppies have developing systems, and it's always best to check with your veterinarian before adding new supplements to their routine.

Yes! It’s good to give CBD to your dog daily. It's why we give CBD to our own pets every day.

CBD is a clinically researched ingredient with peer-reviewed studies piling up to prove that CBD is safe and helpful for dogs well-being.

The National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) conducted a study showing that broad-spectrum cannabidiol (CBD), CBD with cannabigerol (CBG), and CBD with cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) were well-tolerated in healthy dogs when administered daily at 5 mg/kg body weight for 90 days. (NASC Study)

Honest Paws' products are designed to be used daily and can be part of your pet’s routine. Thousands of five-star customer reviews point to many happy dogs all across the US!

Consistency is key: Regular use helps support your pup’s overall well-being. Some dogs do best with one daily serving, while others benefit more from smaller quantities throughout the day.

CBD oil for dogs is becoming a popular choice among pet parents looking to support their dog’s overall well-being or dive into specific pain points in pet care. That's why Honest Paws products have over 14,000 five star reviews and are highly recommended by veterinarians!

Dog owners use CBD to help with:
🐾 Promoting relaxation to encourage a calm and balanced demeanor.
🦴 Supporting joints & mobility to helps maintain comfort as dogs age.
🛡️ Supporting immune system function to play an important role in long-term health.

How CBD Oil Works: It interacts with a dog’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a natural system in dogs that plays a role in maintaining balance and supporting normal functions related to overall wellness. Because every dog is unique, responses may vary depending on age, size, and lifestyle.

Most pet parents notice positive effects within thirty minutes to an hour after consumption.

Every pet is different, and factors like size, weight, metabolism, and individual needs can influence how quickly they respond. Always start with the recommended amount, monitor how they react, and adjust as needed. For the best results, consistent use over time is key. While some benefits may be noticeable right away, incorporating CBD into your pet’s daily routine will provide more steady, long-term support.

Not all pet supplements are created equal. Many brands out there cut corners to make the cheapest product possible, which creates issues with quality control, effectiveness, and safety. Honest Paws is not like that as we don't compromise on what we give our own pets.

Start the search by shopping for CBD products that are made specifically for pets. There are many forms of CBD available, but it's best to avoid hemp oil products made for humans and stick with ones made specifically for animals.

Transparency, consistency, and purity testing are key indicators of a high-quality CBD product. At Honest Paws, we’re proud to follow these same principles, from sourcing premium certified organic ingredients to maintaining strict purity and safety standards.

Consider these key factors to ensure you're getting a high-quality, safe, and effective option:

✔ Source of CBD: Look for products made from US-sourced, organic hemp. Honest Paws uses USDA Certified Organic full-spectrum hemp extract to ensure the best possible product.
✔ Third-Party Testing: Choose CBD that’s independently tested for potency and purity. Honest Paws partners with an ISO 17025 Accredited Lab and provides Certificates of Analysis (COA) for complete transparency.
✔ Full-Spectrum vs. Isolate: Full-spectrum CBD retains naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, while isolate contains only pure CBD. At Honest Paws, we use organic full-spectrum hemp extract because these compounds can work together in a synergistic way to maximize wellness benefits.
✔ Usage & Form: Consider how the product will be used, such as CBD oil for dogs for precise administration or bites or chews for ease and convenience.
✔ Ingredient Transparency: Review the ingredient list for any potential allergens or unnecessary additives and fillers.
✔ Customer Reviews: Check for customer reviews, such as Honest Paws' many thousands of five-star reviews on our shop.
✔ Brand Reputation: Look for brands committed to safety, quality, and transparency, like Honest Paws, which exceeds industry standards to provide the best possible product.

By keeping these factors in mind, we can confidently shop for a CBD product that is the absolute best for our pup’s well-being.

Every pet is unique, so responses to CBD may vary based on factors like size, metabolism, and individual needs. If your dog is new to CBD, start with a small amount and gradually adjust based on their response. Side effects are rare, but some pets may experience mild digestive upset when first introducing anything new to their diet. This typically resolves as they adjust. Monitor your pet’s response, and if you have any concerns or don’t notice the desired results, we encourage you to reach out to our customer service team for support. If your pet’s signs persist or you believe they may need medical attention, please consult your veterinarian. Honest Paws products are made with the absolute best U.S. grown organic hemp and are free from GMOs, soy, and corn, so you can feel confident about what you're giving your pet!

CBD oil for dogs or bites and chews typically begins working within 30 minutes to an hour, with effects lasting between four to six hours, depending on your pet’s size, metabolism, individual response, and how much CBD they consume. Some pets may require more frequent servings, while others may experience longer-lasting effects.

If your pet is new to supplements or CBD, start with a reduced amount and gradually adjust as needed. Studies from the American Journal of Veterinary Research, The National Animal Supplement Council (NASC), Cornell, and more show CBD is generally well-tolerated, some pets may take time to adapt.
