Your dog tells you. We help you answer.
Dogs don't hide much. The trembling under the desk when thunder rolls in. The stiff-legged first steps after a nap. The pacing by the door when the suitcase comes out. If you've landed on this page, your dog has probably already told you something — and you're doing what good dog people do: research before you buy.
Dogs have an endocannabinoid system — a network of receptors that helps the body regulate calm, comfort, and balance. CBD (cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring compound from the hemp plant that gently supports normal function of this system. It's not sedation. It's not a personality change. It's the same dog, with a little less edge and a little more ease.
VetCBD's line is formulated by Dr. Tim Shu, DVM — a licensed veterinarian with more than a decade of expertise in cannabinoid therapeutics for animals. Every batch is triple-tested by independent labs, carries the NASC quality seal, and comes with something no other major brand offers: a free product consultation with a real veterinary team to help you get the product and the serving size right for your dog specifically.
Four areas of support — every day, every dog.
Calm & Relaxation
Helps maintain calm during storms, fireworks, travel, separations, and changes in routine.
Joint Comfort & Mobility
Supports comfortable movement and flexibility — for the senior dog, the athlete, and the big breeds.
Daily Wellness
Helps maintain normal GI function, normal brain function, and overall everyday wellbeing.
Non-Sedating Support
Designed to keep your dog himself — alert, playful, present. Just more at ease.
Most dogs deal with more than their owners realize.
of dogs display at least one anxiety-related behavior over their lifetime — noise sensitivity is the most common.*
of dogs 8+ show joint changes associated with reduced mobility — most owners notice it a year or more late.*
*Estimates anchored to peer-reviewed canine behavior and geriatric veterinary research, including the 2020 Finnish canine anxiety study (13,700 dogs).
The science, in plain language.
Dogs — like cats, horses, and humans — have an endocannabinoid system (ECS). It's a regulatory network that helps the body return to balance after stress, support recovery, and maintain everyday comfort. Cannabinoids from hemp interact with this system gently, supporting the work the ECS is already doing.
Dogs actually have a high concentration of cannabinoid receptors — which is why measured, weight-based serving sizes matter more than "more is better." Start low, stay consistent, and adjust slowly. That's the whole method, and it's why we publish a clear serving-size table.
Our tinctures are full-spectrum — the full range of naturally occurring cannabinoids, including less than 0.3% THC per federal law — to deliver the "entourage effect," where cannabinoids and terpenes work together. Our chews are broad-spectrum (no detectable THC). And our base oil is organic extra virgin olive oil: long-chain triglycerides that research suggests support better cannabinoid absorption than the MCT oil most brands use.
Published research is growing fast — a 2018 Colorado State University study evaluated CBD safety in dogs, and the Dog Aging Project's 2025 study followed 47,000 dogs. We reference this research as educational context, and we formulate accordingly.
How much CBD for your dog?
A starting framework, not a prescription. Always consult your veterinarian for guidance specific to your dog.
The starting point Dr. Shu recommends for most dogs is 2 mg of CBD per 10 lbs of body weight, given twice daily, eight to twelve hours apart. The typical working range is 1–5 mg per 10 lbs. If you want to adjust, increase by 1 mg per 10 lbs every two weeks — slowly, while you watch how your dog responds.
| Dog's Weight | Starting Serving | Typical Range | Chews (5mg each) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (10 lbs) | ~2 mg / serving | 1–5 mg | ½ chew |
| Medium (25 lbs) | ~5 mg / serving | 2.5–12.5 mg | 1 chew |
| Large (50 lbs) | ~10 mg / serving | 5–25 mg | 2 chews |
| X-Large (75 lbs) | ~15 mg / serving | 7.5–37.5 mg | 3 chews |
| Giant (100+ lbs) | ~20 mg / serving | 10–50 mg | 4 chews |
Suggested starting amounts only. Twice daily, 8–12 hours apart. Consult your veterinarian — especially if your dog is on medication, is a puppy, or is pregnant/nursing.
What "triple-tested" actually means.
Every batch is tested by independent third-party labs across three categories: cannabinoid potency (the milligrams on the label match what's in the bottle), purity (no heavy metals, residual solvents, or pesticides), and microbial safety. Certificates of Analysis are publicly available — every batch, every product.
The NASC quality seal means VetCBD is audited by the National Animal Supplement Council against industry quality standards. We've carried it while serving over a million pets since 2015.
