Heal
HEAL FOR DOGS
-
- 1mL dropper contains at least 37mg of CBD
- Each 1oz bottle contains at least 1,100mg of CBD
- Each 1oz bottle contains approximately 30 1mL servings
Recommended dosing for cancer, seizures, autoimmune disease, and other serious ailments is 35-50mg of CBD daily, which equals 1-1.5mL of Heal daily. We recommend starting with 1mL (one dropper full) daily, splitting the 1ml into 2-3 doses throughout the day. Here is more information about our recommended dosing protocol.
If giving to your dog twice a day (every 12 hours):
0.5 mL in the morning then 0.5 mL at night
If giving to your dog thrice a day (every 8 hours):
0.5 mL in the morning, 0.25 mL in the afternoon then 0.25 mL at night.
If 1mL a day is not working for your dog after 2 weeks of use, you can increase each dose in 0.25mL increments. Wait one week to determine if the increased dose is working before stepping up another 0.25mL.
The best way to administer our full-spectrum hemp extract oil is directly onto the gums. You can also apply the tincture to food. However, putting the oil on food will take longer to show effect and is generally less effective. You can read more information here.

Remedy
REMEDY FOR DOGS
- Each jar contains 300 mg of CBD per 2 ounces
- Contains peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils

However, we do recommend discouraging licking for 5 minutes after the salve is applied so it has time to absorb into the skin.

Where To Begin
CBD Dosing For Dogs & Cats
So, you’ve received your bottle of CBD, now you’re probably wondering “How to introduce CBD to my pets?” Well, we are here to help guide you through the process of finding your optimal CBD Dosage for dogs, cats and pets!

Now, let’s dive into the basics!
CBD Dog Health tinctures are designed so each dropper contains a benchmark dose that will be effective for most pets. This dosage works for a majority of cases, however to find the optimal CBD dosage for dogs and cats, you may need more or less CBD, depending on a number of factors. (we’ll get to those shortly!)
CBD Dog Health tinctures are applied with a dropper that measures one milliliter of oil (ml). You will notice graduated markings on the side of the dropper that allow for accurate dosing below 1 ml. This allows you to be specific while dosing CBD oil for dogs and cats.
Since we recommend dosage by milligrams (mg’s) – here is a guide to knowing how many milligrams of CBD are in one dropper of each tincture.




How To
CBD Dosage for Dogs, Cats and Pets
The first thing to do when starting a CBD regimen, is spend some time determining optimal CBD dosage for dogs, cats and pets.
Despite common misconceptions, dosing CBD oil for pets has very little to do with size and weight. Optimal CBD Dosage for dogs, cats, and other pets is most effectively determined with consideration for each animal’s unique physiological condition and health status.
This includes factors such as:
- Their endocannabinoid system
- Age
- Metabolism
- Disease process
- Current health and wellness status
- Other individual health factors
Learn more about CBD Dosage for dogs and cats per health condition >>
Unfortunately, there is no accurate “CBD oil for dogs dosage calculator.”
Until you start your pet on a CBD regimen, there is no way to be sure exactly how they will react, which makes CBD dosing for dogs and pets not so simple. Sensitivity ranges greatly between dogs and can even change over time based on age or chronic illness.
That’s why we recommend a trial and error method to determine the optimal CBD dosage for dogs, cats and pets. Start low and go slow as you increase dosage and find a stable regimen, monitoring your pet’s response each step of the way.
BEST PRACTICE – Track their response in a journal!
- Keep a daily log of the current dose in milligrams(mg).
- Record some information about how they respond. (Eg. energy levels, mobility, symptom relief, sleep patterns, etc.)
- Adjust accordingly. We encourage you to be flexible with the dose until you find the right amount for your pet’s specific needs. If you don’t notice any difference, increase the dose until you see results. If your pet appears overly groggy, decrease slightly until you find the perfect balance. (Don’t worry! Some sleepiness is perfectly normal as their system gets used to it).

How To
Administering CBD for Dogs, Cats and Pets


1. ON THE GUMS
The best (and most cost effective) way to administer your CBD dosage for dogs, cats and pets, is directly onto the gums. This method works best because the medicine is absorbed through the mucous membrane in the mouth and the CBD then goes directly into the bloodstream, for a more efficient and faster delivery.

2. ON FOOD
Putting the CBD dosage on food will take longer to absorb and are generally less effective. Although fatty foods have been found to aid in the absorption of CBD, the CBD must still go all the way through the digestive tract and filtration processes like the first pass of the liver. This results in less of the medicine reaching the parts of the body where your pet needs it most.

3. RUB INTO EARS
If you are unable to get your pet to take a tincture orally, or on their food, try applying your tincture to the soft skin of your dog or cat’s inner ear! This is the least bioavailable option and will also take the longest to reach the bloodstream, and not the best option for CBD dosing for dogs and pets. However, we know some pets don’t like administering to the gums. We recommend you apply the oil to your finger and rub it into the area where the fur stops growing.
CBD Administration Tips
We know it can be tricky if your dog or cat isn’t a fan of the dropper! Here are some simple tips and tricks to help you successfully administer the oil directly to their gums:
1. Try Using a Spoon or Your Finger – Place the oil on a small spoon and gently touch it to your dog’s gums or the inside of their cheek. Alternatively, after thoroughly washing your hands, apply the oil directly with your finger. To make it more appealing, dip your finger in something tasty (like bone broth) before applying the oil.
2. Disguise the Dropper – Add a little bit of your dog’s favorite flavor (like canned pumpkin or broth) to the dropper tip to make it less intimidating. Let your dog sniff or lick the dropper to associate it with something positive. Make sure to clean the dropper thoroughly before returning it to it’s bottle.
3. Relax and Incorporate Into a Routine – Choose a calm moment, such as after a walk or before bedtime, to administer the oil. Pairing it with an enjoyable activity, like brushing their teeth or grooming, can help make it a seamless part of your routine.
4. Apply to Lips or Inner Cheeks Instead – If reaching the gums feels impossible, try applying the oil to the inner cheeks or lips. The mucous membranes in these areas can still absorb the CBD effectively.
5. Use a Syringe for Precision – Transfer the tincture to a small oral syringe (without a needle) for easier application. A syringe gives you more control and can make it easier to reach the gum line.
6. Positive Reinforcement is Key – Give your dog plenty of praise and treats after each successful administration. You can also practice getting them comfortable with the dropper by holding it near their mouth and rewarding them without applying the oil until they’re more relaxed.
7. Wrap or Gently Restrain – If your dog is especially squirmy, wrapping them in a towel like a snug burrito can help them feel calmer and more secure. Always use a calm, soothing tone to keep the experience stress-free.
If none of these methods work, don’t worry! You can also mix the oil into a small amount of food or treat—just keep in mind that it may take longer to absorb when ingested this way.
BEST PRACTICE – Safely caring for your CBD oil!
- Shake the bottle before each use.
- Wipe the dropper clean after use to prevent contamination.
- Store in a cool, dark place.

CBD Dosing Tip!
Splitting Daily CBD Dosage for Dogs, Cats and Pets
TIP: By splitting your pet’s daily dosage from a full spectrum hemp extract into smaller doses throughout the day, you ensure the blood concentration levels stay at a consistent level, allowing for the therapeutic benefits to have an uninterrupted effect throughout the day.
When administered to the gums, CBD stays in our pets bloodstream for between 6-8 hours, according to a recent study. The study shows that peak concentration occurs around 2 hours after dosing. This is especially helpful for dealing with anxiety, aches and pains, and seizures.
Research shows that the absorption rate and level of CBD available in the bloodstream depends on the mode of administration! This is important as it affects the optimal CBD dosage for dogs, cats and pets. Take a look at the chart below to understand how the body responds to different ways of administering CBD, an important factor in dosing CBD oil for dogs and pets:

CBD Dosage for Dogs & Pets
Chronic vs. Situational Use
In most cases, your best bet for a successful outcome when using a full-spectrum hemp extract is with consistent administration of their optimal CBD dosage for dogs, cats and pets. For pets with chronic conditions, this is especially true. Much of the effect of CBD is happening below the surface and is not immediately recognizable. You may see immediate results after starting a CBD regimen, but there are long term benefits that only arise with consistent use.
Conditions where this is the case include (but are not limited to):
- Arthritis
- Cancer and other neoplastic conditions
- Seizures and Epilepsy
- Cushing’s Disease
- Behavioral Therapy
There are instances however, where your pet may benefit from a stand alone CBD dosage for dogs or cats, to help with an acute issue. You may already be on a consistent CBD regimen, and just add a little extra for certain situations, or you may only ever need to use CBD for a particular event, rather than daily CBD dosing for dogs and pets.
Situations where a stand alone dose, or extra situational dose may be suitable include:
- Thunderstorm/Firework Anxiety
- Bouts of Increased Pain
- Separation Anxiety
- Car Rides
- Grooming

Trouble Shooting
What If I'm Not Seeing Results
Pet parents are often highly concerned that they will give too much CBD when trying to find their optimal CBD dosage for pets, and cause harm to their pets. More often than not when a pet is not having the desired reaction, it is because the pet isn’t getting the right CBD dosage for dogs or cats, for their individual needs.
We recommend starting with a relatively low dose, but increasing over time until you reach a stable dose. If you feel nervous about experimenting to find the upper limit of their sensitivity, rest assured, it is completely safe.
