When it comes to dogs, pet owners are increasingly turning to CBD as an alternative to soothe a number of common symptoms. While it's important to note that research on CBD's effectiveness and safety in animals is still in its infancy, pet owners report success for pain relief, inflammation, arthritis, anxiety, and seizure control.

In several recent clinical trials, CBD has been proven safe for dogs. Clinician’s Brief states, "A range of CBD doses have a good safety profile after 28 days of administration in healthy dogs. Adverse GI effects at higher doses tend to be mild and short-lived." But it is always a good idea to speak with your veterinarian before introducing any new ingredient into your pet's diet.

No, your dog cannot get "high" from CBD that's been specifically formulated for pets. CBD is a compound found in cannabis and hemp plants that is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the "high" associated with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

Our Southern Ease CBD products for dogs are derived from legal all-American hemp and contain less than 0.3% THC. This trace amount of THC is not enough to produce a psychoactive effect in dogs or humans. Our high-quality CBD gummies are designed for pets to ensure everyone stays healthy and happy.

Across the country, an increasing number of veterinarians are endorsing CBD for dogs with anxiety, pain, and other health conditions. In the words of the Humans Society of the United States, "Yes, CBD and hemp products are safe for pets. They can be especially effective at reducing pain. Veterinarians have seen CBD help dogs with chronic arthritis pain walk more comfortably, for example." But not every veterinarian will be on the same page.

But, they do face a barrier to official prescription. The American Kennel Club explains that "Under current federal and state law, veterinarians may not administer, dispense, prescribe or recommend cannabis or its products for animals." We still recommend asking your vet for their opinion, as you can access CBD pet treats outside the veterinarian's office.

Yes. Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill in the US, hemp-derived CBD is legal to produce, sell, and use. While CBD legislation has some minor differences from state to state, it is legal at the federal level.

The time it takes for CBD oil to start working for your furry friend will depend on several factors, including the dog's size, the condition, the product used, and how it's administered.

If you are treating with CBD pet gummies, you can likely expect your pup to feel the effects within 30 to 90 minutes. This is because the oil needs to pass through the digestive system and be absorbed into the bloodstream before it can take effect.

But because our dogs can't tell us how they feel, you might see the results only after several days. We recommend continuing the dosing protocol for up to two weeks to ensure it has had a chance to build up within your dog’s system.

Monitor your furry friend for any changes in behavior, sleep patterns, or appetite. If any adverse effects occur, reduce the daily dose or cease using altogether.

We always suggest starting low and going slow with any new addition to a pet's daily diet, whether it's a new treat or calming CBD-infused chew for dogs.

As one of the best CBD for dogs with anxiety, start with one Southern Ease Bacon Gummy a day for a few days to see how your dog reacts. Increase slowly until you begin to see the results. The American Kennel Club recommends up to 0.1 to 0.2 mg of CBD per kilogram of your dog's weight, given twice daily.

Yes! If you don't see any side effects, giving your four-legged family member one or more CBD gummies a day is safe. If any side effects appear, dial back the number of CBD dog treats given daily or cease altogether if the effects warrant it.

Our Southern Ease CBD treats for dogs are made from the same good stuff as our human gummies: pure CBD from American-grown hemp, quality ingredients, and no harmful additives.
We test all our ingredients before they go into the manufacturing process and then test the final product before it gets packaged and shipped out. If you’re a pet owner and like the taste of a bacon gummy, know these dog treats are safe for human consumption.

If a dog consumes too much CBD, they may experience side effects, though CBD is largely considered safe. Possible symptoms include lethargy or drowsiness due to CBD's calming effect; a temporary drop in blood pressure, leading to light-headedness; gastrointestinal upset, such as diarrhea or vomiting; and, paradoxically, anxiety in some cases despite CBD's use for reducing anxiety.

It's important to start with a low dose and gradually increase, monitoring your dog's response to find the optimal serving. If you suspect an overdose, contact your vet immediately. We recommend an initial consultation with your veterinarian before starting CBD to ensure it's appropriate for your pet's health needs.

While technically, this is possible, it is highly unlikely. Even if your dog accidentally eats the entire package of CBD gummies, you can expect only mild-to-moderate side effects. They may be extra drowsy or have diarrhea but should recover within a day. As with humans, CBD for dogs has a very high safety profile, even in high doses. However, if you worry that your dog may be experiencing extreme side effects, please contact your emergency vet.

At Southern Ease, the health and safety of your furry friend is our highest priority. That's why we test all our ingredients before entering the manufacturing stage, and then we have the final product tested again before it's packaged. With double third-party testing, we know what goes into our products and, importantly, what your dog is getting in every single bacon-flavored treat.

Dose size will depend on dog size and condition, but our CBD bacon treats for dogs make getting that precise dose easy. Every treat comes packed with 25 mg of high-quality, third-party-tested CBD.

The American Kennel Club recommends up to 0.1 to 0.2 mg of CBD per kilogram of your dog's weight, given twice daily. But you can reference the CBD dosage chart above for your dog's weight for somewhere to start.

With the rise in popularity of CBD oil, many companies are trying to hop on the bandwagon by infusing their wellness products with hemp oil or hemp seed oil. But CBD oil is not the same thing as hemp seed oil.

In our case, our CBD oil comes straight from our GMP-certified facility and is extracted from legal hemp flowers for a cannabinoid-rich final concentrate. Cannabinoids, including CBD, contain the majority of hemp's medicinal value.

Hemp oil, or hemp seed oil, comes from extracting oil from hemp seeds. Hemp seed oil is useful for cooking, nutrition, and even industrial applications, but it is not cannabinoid-rich. Hemp seed oil contains little to no CBD.
