CBD for medium-sized dogs up to 25 kg
Medium-sized dogs weighing up to about 25 kgstrike the perfect balance—from Beagles to Border Collies to Australian Shepherds. They don’t need the smallest or the largest amounts of CBD. Here you’ll find the right strength, the correct dosage, and the products that are right for your dog.
What size is best for medium-sized dogs?
- CBD Oil, 2.8% (1 mg/drop) – a good starting point at the lower end of the spectrum and ideal for a gentle introduction.
- CBD oil, 5.6%(2 mg/drop) – suitable for dogs weighing about 20 kg or more, since fewer drops are needed.
- CBD Snacks available as MINIS (1 mg) and nacanis (3 mg)—both work well for medium-sized dogs.
How do I dose CBD for a medium-sized dog?
Rule of thumb:0.5 to 1 mg of CBD per kg daily. For a dog weighing 15 kg, that’s about 7.5 to 15 mg per day—which is roughly4 to 8 drops of the 5.6% oil, or twice that amount for the 2.8% oil. Start at the lower end and increase gradually.
