FAQs About CBD for Cats
If you’re wondering, “Is CBD safe” or “Is CBD recommended by veterinarians,” the answer really depends on your veterinarian. CBD has been prescribed by several veterinary doctors for a number of issues, ranging from stress to topical uses. Research on CBD oil for cats and dogs is still in its early stages, so most of the evidence on its effectiveness is anecdotal. If you’re concerned about using CBD for your cat, we encourage you to look at reviews on this and other sites, and see what veterinarians and other pet owners are saying online. And consult your veterinarian, who knows your cat and its needs as well as anyone outside your household.
Yes. Your cat has an endocannabinoid system, just like every other vertebrate animal. Cannabinoids, like CBD, naturally support this system and produce a variety of wellness benefits.**
Since THC can be toxic for pets, you should steer clear of products that are high in THC content. While full spectrum CBD oil contains legal, non-intoxicating levels of THC (less than 0.3%), it’s still preferable to look for a CBD oil product with all detectable levels of THC removed. This narrows the field to broad spectrum CBD and CBD isolate. We prefer to use broad spectrum hemp extract in our cat CBD oils because it still has a robust mixture of healthful, non-intoxicating cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids to give your cat maximum wellness benefits.
While it is uncommon for cats to experience side effects from CBD oil, especially if you adhere to suggested serving size, they could still experience some potential issues, including dry mouth, lethargy, dizziness, upset stomach, increased tremors in cats with Parkinson’s disease, itchiness, low blood pressure, and potential negative interactions with other medications. We encourage you to talk with your veterinarian before starting a new health supplement program.
Hemp CBD oil does have calming properties that can make your cat sleepy.** In fact, many owners use CBD oil for cats in the evening to relax their feline before bedtime.
No. Unlike THC, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound, meaning it has no intoxicating properties. Furthermore, our hemp oil CBD products for cats are all made with broad spectrum oil, which has had all detectable amounts of THC removed.
With CBD oil for cats, simply feed your cat one dropper of oil or mix it with their food.
Our CBD oil for cats comes in one strength, and should not be confused with dog or human oil drops with higher mg of CBD. The serving size is one dropper, though we advise first-timers to start with a low dosage and work your way up until you find the effective serving size for your cat.
You’ll probably lose a finger if you try to get a cat to hold a CBD oil tincture under its tongue, as humans do with sublingual CBD oil. So, you should consider your oil an edible. Edibles have to be absorbed through the digestive system before they can take effect, which could be anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours (depending on bioavailability factors). A topical like our CBD Pet Balm, on the other hand, should bring almost immediate relief.
There is no difference between the CBD in broad spectrum human products and the CBD in our cat products. All of our CBD is human-grade, non-GMO, and organic. The only difference is the amount of CBD in each serving.
We don’t recommend using our CBD Cat Tincture on kittens. Our formula takes into account the weight of an adult cat, which is too strong for kittens.
CBD Oil For Cats
Humans have used hemp for centuries, for everything from rope and paper to medicinal applications. Hemp was even used in animal feed, as a low-priced, nutritious filler. In recent years, many hemp-derived products have focused on the wellness and calming aspects of CBD and other compounds called cannabinoids, which are found in abundance in the hemp plant. As a result, CBD’s popularity has exploded, with an incredibly diverse range of hemp-derived products on the market. One area that has grown greatly in recent years is CBD for pets, particularly dogs and cats.
CBD for cats is a no-brainer for a lot of cat owners, particularly when those kitties decide to do cat zoomies — turning the house into the Talladega Superspeedway at 3 in the morning. But besides serving as a natural sleep aid for cats, there are other ways that CBD can help your feisty feline. CBD can relieve nervousness and stress, as well as boost their general wellness.**
As a protective cat parent, it’s natural to ask, “Is CBD safe for cats?” The answer is a resounding “yes.” While study on CBD and cannabis, in general, is still running in catch-up mode, anecdotal evidence is overwhelmingly positive. In order to better understand the effect of CBD on cats, perhaps it’s a good idea to provide a little background.
Like all vertebrate animals, felines have an endocannabinoid system. This system interacts with the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system — via the CB1 and CB2 receptors — helping to regulate several key bodily functions, including mood, sleep, stress, appetite, memory, and more. CBD (or cannabidiol) is one of a group of chemical compounds, called cannabinoids, that are found in the hemp plant. When consumed, these compounds bind to receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system, helping to enhance its effectiveness in several of these key functions.** Think of hemp-derived CBD as a safe, all-natural booster for one of your cat’s most vital systems.
And yes, THC is a cannabinoid, too. And THC is not healthy for your pet. It should be avoided at all costs. Fortunately, our CBD pet products are all made with broad spectrum CBD and all have under 0.1% THC content. And unlike THC, cannabidiol is non-psychoactive, meaning it won’t get your cat “high.”
CBD oil can have a number of benefits for your cat. Here are a few of the most notable …
Stress and the Zoomies
Yes, cats can be … difficult. Some of that orneriness is just good fun. They like to go nuts and run around. Some of it is hard-wired into their nature. For instance, the innate hunting schedule of a cat is between 3 and 5 in the morning — so there’s science behind their late-night insanity.
But cats can also suffer from stress. Cat stress can manifest in lack of appetite, constant hiding, hypervigilance, and other ways.
CBD calming products can ease their stress, and help them better integrate into your household and any other situation that might upset them, from energetic children to loud cars or fireworks. Our CBD Cat Tincture gives your cat the calming relief of broad spectrum CBD in a delicious, all-natural hemp oil, with the strength tailor-made for the size and weight of a cat. Mix the oil into their favorite food or feed it to them straight from the dropper. Your feline friend will enjoy the natural chicken or bacon flavor and, more importantly, they’ll experience the calming wellness benefits of CBD.** One last note of importance: all of our CBD hemp oil for pets is organic, non-GMO, and vegan — so you can be assured you’re giving your cat or cats CBD oil you can trust.
General Wellness
One of the main benefits of CBD oil for cats is that it interacts with their endocannabinoid system to promote heightened wellness in a variety of your cat’s systems and organs. These benefits can extend to mood, memory, appetite, stress, sleep, and much more.**
At CBDfx, we use only the purest organic hemp to make our CBD products — including CBD for cats. All of our CBD oil for cats is derived from hemp, grown in the state of Kentucky and processed under the strict cannabis guidelines of the FDA. We use a third-party laboratory to test all of our products, and we make those lab tests available for everyone to see. These tests show you not only how much CBD and other ingredients are in your cannabis hemp product, but they also tell you the levels of things that should not be in your product, like pesticides, heavy metals, and other harmful chemicals that can be soaked up from the soil around the hemp plant or during the oil extraction process. With organic farming and safe CO2 extraction, we provide you and your kitty with the safest, purest CBD products on the market.
