“How much CBD should I add to my homemade dog treats?” Recommendations for CBD dosages for dogs vary widely, so our founder Maria Calabrese and her pup MJ sniffed out a simple calculation you can do to figure out how much CBD oil to add to your dog’s DIY treats. Then, Maria whips up a batch of healthy peanut butter and pumpkin dog treats with VetCBD Hemp Tincture for Dogs & Cats.
Dog CBD Dosage Calculation
Online sources are riddled with inconsistent dosage recommendations, with some claiming an ideal dosage of 1 mg or higher per pound of your pet’s body weight. So we tapped into our veterinarian resources to arrive at a conservative 2.0 - 2.5 mg of CBD per 10 pounds of your pet's body weight. If your pet tolerates this dosage well, you can increase the dosage slightly and slowly to find their optimal dose.
The formula we demonstrated also corresponds with the Canine Journal’s guidelines and most premium pet hemp CBD oil brands’ suggested use. It’s important to consult with your veterinarian for personalized dosing advice based on your pet’s unique health needs.
Here’s the calculation we used to determine the best dosage for MJ.
2MG - 2.5MG CBD PER 10LB
We divided MJ’s 30 pounds of body weight by 10 = 3 and multiplied 3 x 2.5mg (per 10LB body weight) = 7.5mg
