These are conservative starting points based on commonly cited veterinary CBD ranges. Always consult your veterinarian before starting CBD on a pet — especially if they take medications. Calculations assume our pet formula (500mg in 30 mL = ~16.7 mg/mL, ~0.83 mg per drop).

Notes on the calculator

The calculator returns a starting dose at the lower end of commonly cited ranges (0.1mg/lb), then offers a higher end (0.25mg/lb) if the starting dose isn't enough. These are general veterinary literature ranges — your vet's specific recommendation supersedes any chart.

Pet CBD dosing is also affected by what you're trying to address. Anxiety on a single specific event (storm, vet visit, fireworks) is typically dosed once at the high end of the range, 30-60 minutes before. Daily wellness use stays on the low end.

FAQ

Where do these dosing ranges come from?

They're consensus ranges from peer-reviewed veterinary CBD studies and from major veterinary CBD reference texts. They are conservative starting points, not maximum doses.

Should I use the same calculator for cats?

Cats use the same general weight-based formula but at the lower end of the range, and increase more slowly. Start at the low end and titrate up.
