Can Humans Take Pet CBD Oil?

Giving your pets cannabidiol (CBD) oil is a growing trend where a Nielsen report found that 24% of pet owners use hemp-CBD for their pets, themselves, or both. This is mainly due to the perceived positive benefits of taking CBD oil.

While the FDA hasn’t approved CBD oil, several clinical studies are beginning to see promising benefits. Until the FDA approves CBD oil, we do not make any direct claims to the benefits of CBD and advise you to research CBD oil. The FDA recommends that you talk to your vet before giving your pet CBD pet products.

Many pet owners, that buy CBD oil for their pets, want to know if humans can take pet CBD oil. We’ll answer this question and other questions you might have about CBD oil.

 

Can humans take CBD oil for dogs?

The short answer is yes. CBD oil affects humans and other mammals in the same way. Because it works the same way for humans as it does for pets, it is safe to consume pet CBD oil.

These pet CBD oil products can be oil drops, capsules, or treats—although, we don’t necessarily recommend eating a CBD dog treat because they are not formulated for a human taste palette. For example, Dope Dog CBD oil dog treats come in Asian carppeanut butter, and sweet potato.

Also, because dogs generally have lighter body mass than humans, their CBD oil dosage is significantly less than for people. And FDA is less stringent about pet labels for supplements, so you’ll need to be cautious if you decide to ingest a pet CBD oil.

To guarantee effectiveness and safety, you should only use high-quality, third-party tested CBD oil for you and your pets.

Can dogs take human CBD Oil?

Yes, dogs can take human CBD oil. But you’ll need to be very careful about dosage depending on your dog’s size and the oil’s potency. Before giving your dog human CBD oil, you should talk to your vet about the proper dosage.

 

Is There a Difference Between CBD Oil for Humans and Pets?

When it comes to the CBD oil in its purest form, it is essentially the same for humans and pets. The oil is extracted from the same types of the hemp plant and has no serious adverse side effects, making it safe for you and your pet to ingest.

CBD oil products differ between pets and humans by:

  • Dosage: Humans generally need a higher daily dose and multiple doses for CBD oil to be effective.
  • Potency: Because humans are larger than most pets, human CBD oil products can have a higher strength to be sufficient for human size.
  • Flavoring: CBD companies will flavor CBD oil products differently for humans and pets, appealing to the different preferred taste palettes.
  • FDA Regulations: The FDA is more stringent on human CBD oil product labels, ensuring the products meet human consumption requirements for dietary supplements.

    Be careful when determining you or your pet’s CBD oil dosage.

     

    What is the Right Dosage of Pet CBD Oil for Humans?

    The right dosage of CBD oil for humans is based on your body weight. For first-time CBD oil users, you should start with a lower dosage and increase the dosage based on your body's reaction to the CBD oil.

    Humans should take 1-6 mg for every 10 pounds of body weight. This means 30-50 mg for a 200 lbs person. A person that weighs 150 lbs. should take between 25-40 mg. Many people take about 25 mg in the morning and a second dose of 25 mg in the evening.

     

    What is CBD Oil Used for in Humans?

    Many people take CBD oil to enhance and boost their endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS system is a network of cell membrane receptors that can affect many physiological processes. The ECS system helps regulate pain, memory, mood, stress, and immunity.

    Scientists first began to study the effects of CBD oil on the body’s ECS system in the 1990s. But because these studies are relatively recent and few and far between, the FDA hasn’t approved the use of CBD oil yet.

    You should research why and how people take CBD oil to boost their ECS system to learn more about the effects. These same benefits can also apply to dogs.

     

    How Long Does it Take for CBD Oil to Work?

    The most common way to take CBD oil is by swallowing it in capsule or edible form. These dosage methods afford the best absorption into the bloodstream and take about 30-45 minutes to start working.

    Tinctures are absorbed faster, and when the oil is placed under your tongue, you can feel the CBD oil beginning to work within ten to fifteen minutes. The oil is absorbed into your mucous membranes by putting it under your tongue and bypassing the digestive system.

     

    CBD Oil Can be Beneficial for Humans and Pets

    Whether you or your pet use CBD oil, the oil is interchangeable. You’ll want to be very aware of the potency and dosage depending on if the CBD oil is for your pet or you. If first trying CBD oil, make sure to take the lowest dose to see how your body will react before increasing the dosage.

    You can buy CBD oil online or in stores in tinctures, capsules, or edible form. Dope Dog is a premier provider of high-quality CBD oil products for pets. Many of our customers rave about our products. You can read their testimonials about how CBD has helped them.
