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.

CBD (cannabidiol) 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 CBD oils or tasty chews for dogs. Honest Paws’ CBD products are non-intoxicating, adhere to federal guidelines, and are lab-tested for purity and safety. They contain less than 0.3% THC, making them compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill. 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 perfectly fine to give your dog CBD daily.

Multiple studies have shown that CBD is safe for dogs.

• 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 Studys)
• 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. (PubMed Central Study)

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. Some dogs do best with one daily serving, while others benefit more from smaller quantities throughout the day!

CBD oil is becoming a popular choice among pet parents looking to support their dog’s overall well-being.

Some pet owners use CBD to help with:
🐾 Promoting relaxation – May encourage a calm and balanced demeanor.
🦴 Supporting joint health & mobility – Helps maintain comfort as dogs age.
🛡️ Supporting immune system function – Plays a role in long-term health.

How CBD Works: CBD 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 effects within 30 minutes to an hour after giving CBD. However, every pet is different, and factors like size, 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 routine may provide more steady, long-term support.

With so many options available, choosing the right CBD product for your dog can feel overwhelming.

Look for CBD products that are made specifically for pets. 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 organically grown, U.S.-sourced and grown 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 oil tinctures for precise administration or bites or chews for convenience.
✔ Ingredient Transparency: Review the ingredient list for any potential allergens or unnecessary additives.
✔ Customer Reviews: Check for customer feedback, such as Honest Paws' many thousands of five-star reviews.
✔ 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 pet 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 high-quality, 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 typically begins working within 30 minutes to an hour, with effects lasting between four to six hours, depending on your pet’s size, metabolism, and individual response.
