Consult your veterinarian to determine the best vitamins and supplements for your furry friend.

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of over 120 chemical compounds known as cannabinoids found in hemp plants. It is non-intoxicating in its effects and has been shown to have a variety of positive health and wellness benefits — not only in humans, but in our furry friends as well! Kradle® CBD products contain broad-spectrum, water-soluble CBD to help reduce stress, anxiousness, pain and inflammation in dogs.

What is CBN?

CBN, or cannabinol, is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in hemp plants. CBN is known for its potential calming effects and is often studied for its possible benefits in promoting sleep and relaxation. Unlike THC, CBN is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn’t produce the "high" associated with cannabis. One of its most powerful benefits is thought to be improving quality of sleep. Our CBD Sleepy CLEANZzz Dental Hard Chew (link to Product) is currently our only product that contains CBN.

What is BotaniTek™?

BotaniTek™ is Kradle’s patent-pending formulation and the backbone of all Kradle® products. It is a proprietary blend of pure, proven, quality ingredients that work naturally with a dog’s endocannabinoid system to help calm them safely and quickly.

Is CBD good for pets?

CBD (cannabidiol) may offer potential benefits for pets, including relief from anxiety, stress, pain, and inflammation. Some studies suggest it can help with conditions like arthritis or seizures as well.

Is CBD safe to use?

Generally, CBD is considered safe for pets when sourced from reputable manufacturers and administered in appropriate doses. It's essential to choose products specifically formulated for pets to ensure safety and effectiveness. All Kradle® products are NASC-certified and third-party tested for purity and potency. Our products are formulated for everyday use and are perfectly portioned for every dog size and breed.

Is it safe to give my pet CBD every day?

Yes, giving your pet CBD daily can be safe, but it’s essential to start with a low dose and monitor your pet's response. Many pet owners find that daily CBD helps manage issues like anxiety, pain, or inflammation. However, it’s always best to consult with your veterinarian before starting any new supplement to ensure it’s appropriate for your pet's specific needs and health conditions.

Does CBD have any side effects?

While CBD is generally well-tolerated, some pets may experience side effects, including drowsiness, dry mouth, or digestive upset. Monitoring your pet after administration is advisable to observe any unusual reactions. If your pets condition worsens or does not improve, stop product administration and consult your veterinarian.

How long does it take for CBD to work?

The onset of effects can vary based on factors like the pet’s size, metabolism, and the product used. Typically, you may see effects within 30 minutes to 2 hours after administration. Kradle® products are formulated to help calm your dog quickly and reliably, but, since each dog’s system is a bit different, these products may take longer to work in some than others and may take up to 7-10 days to see noticeable change in your dog’s behavior. When beginning a CBD regimen for your dog, follow the daily dosing directions on the package and notice your dog’s behavior with each passing day.

Can my pet get too much CBD?

While it's unlikely for pets to overdose on CBD, giving too much can lead to increased side effects. Always follow dosing guidelines and consult with a veterinarian if unsure.

Can I give my pet multiple CBD products at one time?

Yes, you can layer multiple CBD products for dogs, but it’s important to do so carefully and be conscience of the milligram count per product. Many pet owners use different CBD forms, such as oils, treats, and topicals, to address various needs.

Start with lower doses for each product to observe how your dog responds, and consider factors like their size, health condition, and any other medications they might be taking. Consulting with a veterinarian experienced in CBD use for pets is always a good idea to ensure safety and effectiveness.

We suggest the following milligram guidelines by dog size. For small dogs (5-25 lbs) 10mg-20mg a day, for medium dogs (26-50 lbs) 15mg-30mg a day, for large dogs (51-74 lbs) 20mg – 40mg a day and for extra-large dogs (75+ lbs) 25mg – 50mg a day.

Can I give my dog too much CBD?

Please follow the dosage instructions listed on each product, and do not exceed two daily servings of any combination of Kradle products. Our products have been formulated to act quickly and reliably, but, every dog is different, and these products may take longer to work in some than it does others. Don’t worry if you don’t see a change right away, and stick with the correct serving size. Giving your dog more than the recommended amount may cause side-effects, such as an upset stomach or drowsiness.

What are the benefits of CBD for dogs?

CBD offers a range of potential benefits for dogs, including:

  • Pain Relief: CBD may help alleviate chronic pain from conditions like arthritis or injuries.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Properties: It can reduce inflammation, promoting overall joint and tissue health.
  • Anxiety Reduction: Many pet owners report that CBD helps calm anxious dogs, making it beneficial for separation anxiety, noise phobias, and stressful situations.
  • Improved Mobility: By reducing pain and inflammation, CBD can help improve mobility in dogs with joint issues.
  • Support for Skin Health: CBD may alleviate itching and irritation caused by allergies or skin conditions.
  • Enhanced Immune Function: CBD has potential immune-boosting properties, supporting your dog’s overall health.

CBD for inflammation in dogs

CBD is well-known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system, which regulates various physiological processes, including inflammation. This can be particularly beneficial for dogs suffering from inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis, injuries, or chronic pain, helping to reduce swelling and improve comfort.

CBD for Dog’s Immune Systems?

CBD may support a dog’s immune system by promoting homeostasis, which is the body's natural state of balance. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties can help regulate immune responses and reduce excessive inflammation, which is often a response to illness or infection. While CBD should not replace conventional treatments, it can be a complementary approach to overall health.

Is CBD safe for puppies or senior dogs?

CBD can be safe for both puppies and senior dogs, but it’s crucial to consult your veterinarian first before starting any CBD regimen. Puppies may have different metabolic rates, and their bodies are still developing, so they require careful dosing. Senior dogs can benefit from CBD, particularly for managing pain, inflammation, and anxiety, but they may also have specific health considerations that should be discussed with a vet.
