cbd for dogs
The veterinarian team at Naturecan Pet are committed to ensuring your pet can benefit from CBD while guaranteeing their safety. We have formulated a proprietary blend of CBD + CBDA isolate to work in synergy with your dog's endocannabinoid system.
CBD works indirectly with the body's CB1 and CB2 receptors which support a range of vital functions, such as sleep, mood, and pain, while CBDA works to inhibit the COX2 enzyme, which is responsible for inflammatory response.
Studies suggest that, by acting as a COX2 inhibitor, CBDA may have the potential to reduce feelings of pain and irritation.

We use chromatography to refine our broad-spectrum CBD into an isolate, removing all flavonoids and terpenes which can be dangerous for some pets.
This chromatography process also allows us to ensure all THC is removed to create a 100% pure CBD product.

Why do people use CBD for dogs?
Our bespoke veterinarian pet products utilise the healing powers of cannabidiol (CBD) oil, derived from the Cannabis sativa plant. Commonly known as hemp, this plant has been used for thousands of years to optimise health and combat pain.
Early studies have shown CBD may have the potential to help combat a number of conditions, including:
- Digestion
- Anxiety
- Joint Issues
- Chronic Pain
- Allergies & Skin Conditions
Harnessing the power of CBD to help dogs live their best lives is still a new concept, meaning that large-scale research is somewhat inadequate.
How Does CBD Work?
However, preliminary studies look promising, and UK vets may now prescribe CBD for dogs. In fact, many pet owners see life-changing results after giving their pets CBD.

How does CBD work for dogs?
It seems that because all animals have an endocannabinoid system (ECS), any species can utilise and benefit from CBD products³.
The endocannabinoid system consists of three key components: endocannabinoids, cannabinoid (CB) receptors, and enzymes. Endocannabinoids send signals to cannabinoid receptors throughout the body to release chemicals that help people and pets deal with external events, like injuries and stress.
CB receptors are responsible for releasing chemicals that keep our bodies in homeostasis or balance. The two we currently understand are CB1, found chiefly in the brain and central nervous system, and CB2, primarily located in the liver and immune system.³
Enzymes break down endocannabinoids once they have carried out their function.
CBD is a phyto-cannabinoid that supports our natural endocannabinoid function and helps the ECS to maintain a balanced internal state.

How to give CBD to your dog
There are a number of ways to give your pet CBD.
You can choose from our range of easy-to-use dog treats which include prescriptive formulations for key conditions like joint and mobility issues, skin conditions or anxious behaviour.
Our Dog Treats for Hip & Joint Support combine natural ingredients such as chondroitin, glucosamine and Boswellia to support healthy joints.
Our CBD Dog Treats for Skin & Coat Health is infused with soothing aloe vera, turmeric and organic coconut oil to help calm irritated skin and support a healthy coat.
Our CBD Dog Treats for Calm combine soothing passionflower extract, camomile and valerian root to offer a simple way to promote calm behaviour, support relaxation and wellbeing, and encourage natural sleep.
Low CBD strength treats may be a great way to keep your dog at a consistent level, or if they are experiencing reduced appetite, you can drop our Pet CBD oils directly into the mouth.
For larger dogs that need a higher dose of CBD our treats can be given alongside our CBD oil which can be added to food or given orally before food.
Or if they are combatting chronic conditions that require rapid onset, the drops are placed under the tongue, where they will be rapidly absorbed through the pink mucosa.
This is known as the sublingual route (literally, ‘under the tongue’), and can be safely done using your complimentary dosing syringe.
Sublingual absorption is efficient in terms of bioavailability.
The percentage of each dose absorbed is generally higher than that achieved by means of oral ingestion, and the rate of absorption is also higher, with CBD entering the bloodstream within 15 minutes.
The easiest way to administer sublingually is to face the same way as your dog and use one hand to steady the head and simultaneously lift the lip with a thumb.
With the other hand, gently introduce the Naturecan syringe into the corner of the mouth (which will likely cause the dog to lick and chew) and use this opportunity to deposit the oil in the space underneath the tongue.
Syringes are included with all our CBD Oils. A plastic syringe dropper with dosages marked in millilitres (ml) is more accurate and much safer for pets than glass droppers.

Want to learn about dosage?
Determining the optimal dose and schedule for giving your pet CBD is critical because:
- Consistent and correct dosing will allow your pet to experience the greatest possible benefit.
- Doses that are too low might not help offer the needed support to yield maximum benefits
- Doses that are too high might result in you overspending on products whilst offering no additional benefit.
Sometimes dosage can be confusing, particularly as it differs from brand to brand. Download our dosage guide to learn!
