How quickly does CBD work for dogs?

Most pets feel the effects of CBD tinctures in under 30 minutes, while CBD dog treats for anxiety and pain typically take 45–60 minutes to fully absorb.

Calming drops absorb faster under the tongue or mixed with food, while soft-chew treats take a bit longer as they move through digestion. Every dog is different, but starting with consistent dosing helps you see stronger and longer-lasting results.

How long until CBD takes effect?

Calm Chews take about 30-45 minutes to metabolize in your pet's tummy

Calm Drops are quicker at about 20-25 minute wait time.

Especially when mixed into food or water.

How are Tinctures dosed?

We recommend 1mg for every 10 lbs. Depending on the dosage of drops you select, each full dropper contains 8.33 for (250 mg) tinctures. This would be sufficient for an 80 lb dog and .50 mL is effective for dogs 40 lbs and under.
