CBD for Pets

CBD for Pets

Steve's Goods CBD for pets is a hemp-derived CBD oil formulated for dogs and cats. It's a low-potency, flavorless CBD oil with a weight-scaled dosing chart β€” designed to make it simple for pet owners to dose their animal accurately.

This page is a dosing reference, not medical advice. CBD for pets is a dietary supplement; we do not claim our product treats, cures, or prevents any veterinary condition. Always consult your veterinarian before adding any supplement to your pet's routine β€” especially if your pet is on prescription medication or has a chronic condition.

What to Look for in a Pet CBD Oil

  • Low, consistent potency β€” most pet-safe oils are dosed at 125–500 mg of CBD per bottle, not the 1,000+ mg common in human oils.
  • Flavorless or pet-friendly flavor β€” human oils are often flavored with mint or citrus, which dogs and cats typically reject.
  • Broad-spectrum or isolate β€” choose a broad-spectrum or isolate formulation. Full-spectrum oils contain trace THC, which is not appropriate for pets.
  • Third-party lab tested β€” ask for the COA.
  • Made from hemp grown under the 2018 Farm Bill

Dosing CBD for Dogs by Body Weight

A common starting framework is 0.1–0.2 mg of CBD per pound of body weight, once or twice per day. Start at the low end and hold for 5–7 days before adjusting.

Dog SizeBody WeightLow DoseTypical Dose
Extra smallUnder 10 lbs1 mg1–2 mg
Small10–20 lbs1–2 mg2–4 mg
Medium20–40 lbs2–4 mg4–8 mg
Large40–70 lbs4–7 mg7–14 mg
Extra large70–100 lbs7–10 mg10–20 mg
Giant100+ lbs10–12 mg12–25 mg

These are starting ranges. Your veterinarian may recommend a different amount depending on your dog's age, health history, and other medications.

Dosing CBD for Cats by Body Weight

Cats are typically dosed on the low end β€” 0.1 mg of CBD per pound is a reasonable starting point.

Cat SizeBody WeightLow DoseTypical Dose
Kitten / small catUnder 8 lbs0.5 mg0.5–1 mg
Average cat8–12 lbs1 mg1–2 mg
Large cat12–18 lbs1.5 mg1.5–3 mg

Cats are more sensitive to terpenes and essential oils than dogs. Use only pet-formulated products; do not use a human oil with added flavoring.

How to Give CBD to Your Pet

  • Directly in the mouth β€” the dropper lets you place the oil along the gum line. Fastest absorption.
  • Mixed into food β€” easiest method but slightly slower onset. Add the dose to a small portion of your pet's regular meal.
  • On a treat β€” drop onto a treat or piece of cheese and give it as part of your normal routine.

Onset is typically 30–60 minutes. Give the first dose in the evening when you can monitor your pet. If you see any unexpected behavior, stop and contact your veterinarian.

Safety Notes for Pets

  • Do not give your pet a human CBD product containing THC. Trace THC in full-spectrum human oils can be a concern for small animals. Our pet product is formulated to avoid this.
  • Do not exceed the recommended dose. More CBD does not produce better results and can cause digestive upset, drowsiness, or loss of appetite.
  • Watch for drug interactions. If your pet is on prescription medication, talk to your vet before starting CBD. CBD shares a liver enzyme pathway with many common veterinary medications.
  • Pregnancy / nursing: do not give CBD to pregnant or nursing animals without veterinary guidance.
  • Stop immediately if you see vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy beyond normal, or changes in appetite, and contact your veterinarian.

What to Expect

The first week on CBD is rarely representative. Most pet owners report the clearest pattern emerging in weeks 2–3 of consistent daily dosing. Keep a short log of time, dose, and behavior for the first two weeks so you can tell whether adjustments are working.

Third-Party Lab Testing

Every batch of Steve's Goods CBD for pets ships with a Certificate of Analysis. The COA confirms cannabinoid potency and tests for residual solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbials. Lab reports are posted at /lab-reports/.

Legality

Hemp-derived CBD products with under 0.3% delta-9 THC are federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. State laws on hemp cannabinoids vary. H.R. 5371 takes effect November 12, 2026 β€” we will publish any formulation updates for the pet line before that date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CBD safe for my dog?

A 2019 Cornell University study on CBD in dogs found CBD was generally well tolerated at the doses studied. That said, always check with your veterinarian before starting any new supplement, especially if your dog is on prescription medications.

How much CBD should I give my dog?

A common starting framework is 0.1–0.2 mg of CBD per pound of body weight, once or twice a day. Use the dog dosing table above as a reference and start at the low end for the first 5–7 days.

Can I give my cat CBD?

Many pet owners do. Cats are typically dosed lower (around 0.1 mg per pound) and are more sensitive to flavorings than dogs β€” use only pet-formulated CBD products, not human oils.

How long does CBD take to work in pets?

Onset is typically 30–60 minutes. Most pet owners report the clearest pattern emerging in weeks 2–3 of consistent daily dosing.

Can I give my pet a human CBD oil?

We don't recommend it. Human oils are often higher potency and contain flavorings (mint, citrus) that pets reject or don't tolerate. Full-spectrum human oils also contain trace THC that is not appropriate for pets.

Is CBD for pets legal?

Hemp-derived CBD with under 0.3% delta-9 THC is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. State laws vary. Check your state's current rules before ordering.

What should I do if my pet has a bad reaction?

Stop CBD immediately and contact your veterinarian. Mild side effects (drowsiness, mild digestive upset) typically resolve within 24 hours. Any vomiting, extreme lethargy, or changes in appetite should be discussed with your vet.

How does CBD work for pets? +
Just like humans, all mammals have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that helps maintain balance within their bodies. This biological system responds to cannabinoids, including CBD, in similar ways across species. Your pets' ECS plays a role in regulating important functions like mood, sleep, appetite, and comfort levels. While our CBD pet products are not medicines and should not replace veterinary care, many pet owners incorporate them into their pets' wellness routines. We always recommend consulting with your veterinarian before starting any new supplement, especially for elderly or medically at-risk animals.
What CBD pet products does Steve's Goods offer? +
We offer two primary CBD products specifically formulated for pets: Full Spectrum CBD Pet Oil and Hemp Bites CBD Dog Treats. Our pet oil comes in salmon flavor (irresistible to most cats and dogs) and is available in 15mL bottles (75-150mg CBD) or 30mL bottles (150-300mg CBD) with clearly marked droppers for precise dosing. Our Hemp Bites treats contain 10mg of CBD per piece and come in bacon or cheddar flavors in bags of 25 treats. Both products are made with the same premium Colorado-grown hemp extract we use in our human products, ensuring your pets receive the highest quality CBD available.
Can both cats and dogs use your CBD pet oil? +
Yes! We've formulated our CBD Pet Oil to work for both dogs and cats, eliminating the need for separate products if you have multiple types of pets. The salmon oil base was specifically chosen because both canines and felines naturally enjoy the taste of fish, making administration easy. This universal appeal means you can use the same high-quality product for your entire furry family, regardless of species. The difference in dosing will be based on your pet's size and individual needs rather than whether they're a cat or dog.
How do I determine the right dose for my pet? +
Finding the optimal CBD serving for your pet depends primarily on their weight and individual response. We recommend starting with a lower potency formulation and smaller serving size, then gradually increasing every two weeks until you observe desired results. For our Hemp Bites treats, we suggest: 2-4 treats for dogs 45-70 lbs, 4-6 treats for dogs 70-100 lbs, and 6-12 treats for dogs over 100 lbs. With our pet oil, the marked droppers make precise dosing easy, allowing you to adjust based on your pet's needs. Remember that consistency is keyβ€”we recommend maintaining a daily routine for at least 30 days to properly evaluate effectiveness.
What if my pet doesn't like the taste of the CBD products? +
While most pets eagerly accept our salmon-flavored oil and bacon/cheddar treats, some may be more particular about new tastes. If your pet resists taking the oil directly from the dropper, you can easily mix it into their regular food. For pets who don't enjoy either treat flavor, our oil provides a convenient alternative that can be incorporated into their meals without detection. Just as humans have unique taste preferences, pets do too! If your pet shows reluctance, try different administration methods or consider switching between our oil and treat options to find what works best for your furry companion.
How long does it take to see results from pet CBD products? +
CBD works gradually in pets' systems, building up over time rather than providing instant effects. We strongly encourage patience and consistency when introducing CBD to your pet's routine. Most pet owners begin noticing subtle changes within 2-3 weeks of daily use, but we recommend maintaining the recommended serving size for at least 30 days before adjusting. Some pets may respond more quickly, while others might take longer to show noticeable benefits. This gradual approach allows the cannabinoids to properly integrate with your pet's endocannabinoid system for optimal results. Remember that each animal is unique and will respond according to their individual biology.
What ingredients are in your pet CBD products? +
Our pet products begin with premium, Colorado-grown hemp extract that undergoes rigorous testing for purity and potency. The CBD Pet Oil combines our full-spectrum hemp extract with wild-caught salmon oil and anchovy oil, creating a formula pets find delicious while delivering beneficial cannabinoids. Our Hemp Bites Dog Treats feature natural, wholesome ingredients including peas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and real bacon fat or cheddar (depending on flavor), paired with 10mg of our full-spectrum CBD per treat. We prioritize quality ingredients that support your pet's overall wellbeing while ensuring the products are appetizing enough that pets willingly consume them.
Are your pet CBD products lab tested? +
Yes, all Steve's Goods pet products undergo the same rigorous third-party testing as our human products. We test for potency to ensure consistent CBD content in every batch, verify cannabinoid profiles to confirm full-spectrum benefits, and screen for contaminants including pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents. This comprehensive testing process reflects our commitment to providing safe, high-quality CBD products for your beloved companions. Our test results are available upon request, allowing you to verify exactly what's in the products you're giving to your pets. We believe transparency is essential when it comes to pet wellness products.
What if the CBD products don't work for my pet? +
We stand behind our pet products with complete confidence in their quality and effectiveness. However, we understand that each animal responds uniquely to supplements. If you're not 100% satisfied with our Full Spectrum CBD Pet Oil or Hemp Bites after consistent use according to our recommendations, please contact us directly. Our customer service team is available on weekdays to address any concerns, answer questions about usage, or help determine if a different product might better suit your pet's needs. We're committed to finding the right solution for your furry family members and ensuring you're completely satisfied with your purchase.
