Hemp Dosage For Dogs
The amount of hemp you give your dog depends on their weight, the Hemp product, and whether you are aiming for a starting, regular, or strong dose. These amounts vary between products because of their differences in concentration. Each product type is divided by weight class; dogs in each weight range have a designated Hemp amount for a starting, regular, and strong dose.
How Much Hemp is Safe For Dogs?
There is no one-size-fits-all amount for your dog when it comes to Hemp. Their dose varies depending on a number of factors, such as:
- Weight
- Metabolism
- Breed
- Age
- Diet
- Pre-existing medical conditions
- Medications they’re already taking
Any of these factors can affect your dog’s tolerance and response to hemp. It’s recommended that you do not exceed two treats for dogs of any size.
Because of all these factors coming into play, determining the right hemp dose can seem confusing. We recommend talking to your dog’s veterinarian before starting any new hemp regimen to help simplify the process. They can help you map out a safe and effective routine that suits your pet’s needs.

Can Cats Overdose on Hemp?
There are no documented cases of fatality from Hemp in cats. However, overdoses can occur if you give your cat more Hemp than they are used to. In these cases, vomiting, diarrhea, sleepiness, nausea, or dry mouth can occur. If this happens, a bit of rest, food, and water helps ease your pet’s discomfort. And of course, next time, lower their dose for a more beneficial experience.
