That’s exactly what this is all about—we’ll show you the right strength, the right amount, and the products that are right for your little one.
What size is best for small dogs?
With small dogs, precise dosing is key—every drop counts. That’s why this is especially well-suited for them:
- CBD Oil, 2.8% with 1 mg of CBD per drop—a gentle way to get started without taking too much.
- The MINIS version oftheCBD snackscontains 1 mg of CBD per ball—spread small amounts throughout the day.
How do I dose CBD for a small dog?
Rule of thumb:0.5 to 1 mg of CBD per kilogram daily. For a dog weighing 5 kg, that’s about 2.5 to 5 mg per day—which, with the 2.8% oil, is roughly3 to 5 drops, divided into two to three doses. Start at the lower end and increase gradually.
