How to Choose a Pet CBD Strength for Dogs, Cats & Pets
Learn how dog, cat, or pet size, product strength, label directions, health history, and veterinary guidance fit into a responsible decision.
Choosing a pet CBD strength for your dog, cat, or pet starts with the product label, your pet's size, and guidance from the veterinarian who knows its health history. Product strength describes the amount of CBD in each chew; it is not a universal serving recommendation.
Understand the Three Product Strengths
Companion Soft Chews are organized into three clearly labeled options:
- 10mg per chew: Formatted for cats and small dogs
- 20mg per chew: Formatted for medium dogs
- 40mg per chew: Formatted for large dogs
The milligram amount tells you how much CBD is present in one chew. It does not account for your pet's medical history, medications, age, or individual response.
Review the Label Before Serving
Read the complete label for serving directions, ingredients, storage information, and warnings. Do not assume that guidance for one brand or concentration applies to another product.
Information to Share With Your Veterinarian
- Current weight and age: These provide basic context for the conversation.
- Medications and supplements: Include prescription, over-the-counter, and occasional products.
- Health history: Mention diagnosed conditions, recent symptoms, and previous reactions.
- The exact product: Share the label, ingredient panel, strength, and available COA.
- Your goal: Explain what prompted you to consider a hemp-derived product.
When to Consult a Veterinarian
Consult your veterinarian before introducing CBD, especially if your pet takes medication, has a health condition, is pregnant or nursing, or has experienced an unexpected reaction. Do not use general serving information to replace veterinary care or to change an existing treatment plan.
