The Best CBD Oil for Dogs

More and more dog owners are purchasing CBD for their pets. According to a recent report, pet products have racked up over $9.4 million in sales at regulated adult-use cannabis retailers in California, Colorado, Nevada, and Washington combined. However, there is one issue, and this is the fact that the CBD industry is not regulated. This means that you need to be extra diligent when purchasing CBD products from different companies. With that being said, below are some of the best CBD oil products for dogs to give you a helping hand.

What should you look for when purchasing CBD oil for dogs?

Before we take a look at some of the best products out there, it is essential to establish the different things you should be looking for when purchasing this product.

It is a great idea to source from hemp grown in the US. Hemp contains much lower amounts of THC when compared with cannabis. To be sold legally, the hemp must contain less than 0.3 percent THC. This means that your dog can get all of the benefits without getting high.

Ideally, you want the CBD oil for your dog to be completely THC free. This helps to ensure your dog’s safety.

One of the most important things you can do for the safety of your dog is to make sure the labeling and dosing is perfectly clear on the label. Use only reputable sources for your CBD oil, and be sure to understand how much to give to your pet.

It is best so stay away from full-spectrum CBD, as it has not been tested for safety in dogs. Dope Dog uses only high-quality CBD, with clear labeling and dosing instructions, that have been tested and shown to be safe for the use in dogs.

You also need to make sure that the CBD has been extracted safely and effectively from the hemp plant. Two of the most common methods are solvent extraction and CO2 extraction. The former is the cheapest approach of the two, whereas the latter produces much higher CBD concentrations when compared with any other method.

We would recommend that you stay away from any CBD products that do not come with a certificate of analysis. Every batch of CBD should come with this. You need to check it for a few different things. You want to make sure there is not less CBD than advertised, and make sure there is not too much THC or no THC at all.

We only trust certificates that have been issued by third-party labs. Otherwise, you're depending on only taking the manufacturer's word, and that is always a risk.

Finally, know where the CBD product has been grown. It is advisable to purchase organic CBD only, as this will lower any toxin risks to the environment.
