CBD Oil for
Chihuahuas: How CBD from Hemp Can Help Your Chihuahua’s Joint Pain & More
How
Can CBD Help Your Chihuahua?
Many chihuahua owners have recently discovered the benefits of CBD
(cannabidiol) oil. Last year, studies released data showing very promising
results in using CBD to support a wide variety of uses in dogs.
Research is showing
CBD may be useful to your chihuahua in the following ways:
- Supporting aging, painful,
and stiff joints
- Fights separation anxiety,
noise anxiety, and travel anxiety – promoting a sense of calm
- Studies have shown CBD can
reduce the occurrence of seizures in dogs
- Some research suggests CBD’s
role as an anti-inflammatory can help relieve symptoms of allergies and
itching in dogs, promoting a sense of calm
What Dosage of CBD Should I Give to My
Chihuahua?
Dosing CBD isn’t an
exact science, and it’s important to find what works best for your chihuahua’s
needs. Always start small and slow. While adverse reactions and side-effects to
CBD are rare, sometimes the carrier oil can cause stomach upset in dogs if they
take too much too soon. In general, here’s the CBD dosing range we’d recommend
for chihuahua (but can vary, and needs to be assessed case by case)
- 5 pounds: 0.5mg – 3 mg
- 10 pounds: 1 mg – 5 mg
- 20 pounds: 2 mg – 10 mg
For pain, you’ll need
to allow 2-4 weeks to see best results. For anxiety, many chihuahua owners see
results in as little as 30-60 minutes.
What’s the Best Way to Give CBD Oil to my
Chihuahua?
If your chihuahua
allows it, consider giving the CBD oil directly in their mouth with the
dropper. This method allows for best and fastest absorption since the oil is
absorbed sublingually (in the tongue and gums) and bypasses the digestive
system.
If your chihuahua won’t allow for giving oil directly to their mouth,
don’t sweat it. You can also place CBD oil directly on their food or their favourite
treat. We also recommend some great cheese flavour CBD
soft chews for easy
administration.
CBD oil comes in many easy to
administer forms for your chihuahua

How do I Find the Best CBD Oil for my
Chihuahua?
When choosing a hemp
CBD product for your chihuahua, you’ll want to keep in mind the following important
points:
Pet Hemp CBD Drops |
- Always review the
certificate of analysis (COA) to ensure the product contains CBD, and no
THC which can be toxic to chihuahua (most CBD oils contain trace amounts
of THC).
- Always choose a CBD oil made
from organic hemp: The hemp plant has the unique ability to soak up toxins
from the soil. As a result, choosing an organic product is an absolute
must.
- For dogs, always choose a CBD product that is 100% free of THC, (which can be toxic to shepherds)

My 6 year old chi boy has suffered his whole life from severe anxiety...a complete nightmare for both of us. I started him on cbd pet chews and within a month I started to notice subtle differences in his behaviour...now 6 months later I have a completely different little dog. He's calm, relaxed, outgoing, friendly, plays with toys, doesn't have complete meltdowns when I leave the house...I now have and anxious cat on oil drops with similar results and my other little 9yo chi girl taking one chewy a day to relieve discomfort from knee problems, she no longer skips and hops when she runs. Looking at her demeanor now, after about a month or so on 1 dog chewy per day, I really think she may have been suffering mildly with depression.
