Certainly! CBD can be administered as needed or incorporated into your pet's daily routine, depending on their specific requirements.

Consistent daily administration of full-spectrum hemp extract (CBD) is recommended for the most effective use for dogs. This approach is particularly crucial for pets dealing with chronic conditions. While immediate results may be noticeable when starting a CBD regimen, sustained use reveals long-term benefits.

For daily use, we suggest micro-dosing CBD oil for pets. Instead of a single large daily dose, dividing the optimal daily amount into 2-3 micro-doses throughout the day is advisable. This helps maintain a higher concentration of CBD in your pet’s bloodstream over an extended period, proving especially beneficial for managing issues such as anxiety, discomfort, pain, and seizures.

Research indicates that the half-life of orally administered CBD in dogs is approximately 4-6 hours, with peak concentration around 2 hours post-administration. Maintaining a consistent CBD concentration in the bloodstream through micro-dosing is advantageous for addressing various pet health concerns.

Contrary to common belief, determining the appropriate CBD dosage for your dog isn't primarily based on their size and weight. The most effective dosage considers the specific physiological condition of each animal, including factors such as their endocannabinoid system, age, metabolism, existing health conditions, ongoing ailments, and various individual health characteristics. At Pawzitive, we go by "start low and go slow." 

For instance, half a dropper (25 mg) of our 1500mg tincture may be sufficient to assist one dog, but another dog of the same breed and size may require twice as much or even more.

During the initial first two weeks, we recommend a trial-and-error method as you observe your animal's response to determine the optimal dose. The old adage "start low and go slow" is highly applicable when dosing CBD oil for dogs.

Here are our recommended pet CBD dosages by ailment:

• CBD for Situational Anxiety: Start with 1 to 2mg per pound before the triggering event. Wait 15-20 minutes, and if your pet is still anxious, administer another 5 mg until you see results.
• CBD for General Anxiety: Begin with a daily dose of at least 2mg for every pound. If you don't notice a difference within one to two weeks, increase the dosage to another 5 – 15 mg daily.
• CBD for Arthritis: Start with 10 – 15 mg daily. If you don't notice a difference in one to two weeks, increase by another 10 – 15 mg daily until you see results.
• CBD for Aches and Pains: Start with 15 – 20 mg situationally or daily. If your dog is still in pain after 10 – 15 minutes, administer another 15 mg.
• CBD for Cancer: Administer 50 – 100 mg daily for optimal results. However, we recommend beginning with 25mg daily to prevent GI upset.
• CBD for Seizures: Begin with 35 – 50 mg daily and/or during seizure activity to prevent seizures. Consult your veterinarian if your pet is on phenobarbital before adjusting.

It is essential to consult with a veterinarian before incorporating any new products into your pet's routine, including those offered by Pawzitive. While our products are crafted with care and consideration for your pet's well-being, we are not veterinarians.

CBD is generally well-tolerated by dogs and is unlikely to make them sick. However, individual sensitivities may vary, and some dogs may experience mild side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, or changes in appetite. These effects are typically temporary and subside as your dog's body adjusts to the CBD.

It's crucial to administer the appropriate dosage based on your dog's size, health condition, and the specific CBD product used. Starting with a low dose and gradually increasing, if needed, allows you to monitor your dog's response and minimize the risk of adverse reactions.

It is important to remember that, like us, every dog is different and will respond differently.

When dealing with anxiety or pain, you should typically observe a change within 15-30 minutes. If no noticeable change occurs within this time frame, administering another dose is ok. Due to the uniqueness of each dog, finding the ideal CBD oil dosage may require some adjustment and patience.

For best results with full-spectrum hemp extract, consistent use of CBD is key, particularly for those with chronic conditions. Many of CBD's effects occur beneath the surface and may not be immediately apparent. While immediate improvements may be observed after starting a CBD regimen, long-term benefits also become evident with continued use of CBD for pets.
