Dogs are comfortable with the taste of cannabinoids. You can consider CBD dog treats, especially design with combinations of different tastes and an enjoyable snack. Due to its flavors, your pet won't, be able to differentiate between treat and CBD treats. Over time it actually will become one of them. Try to feed them CBD oil in biscuits or any other spongy snack rather than meat chews.

  • Sprinkle CBD oil on dog food

Sprinkling the tincture on dog food is another way to feed CBD oil to your pet. You only have to fill the dropper and with an appropriate dose, try to add it on top of a wet meal or dry kibble. But again, it depends on your pet’s regimen; include tincture in their morning meal or night meal. 

  • Provide CBD oil directly to pet

Be extra cautious while providing tincture directly to the pet. He may break or split the bottle, which can be harmful to you as well as your dog. Instead, use a CBD oil tincture dropper and plop it directly into the dog’s mouth. Direct dosage is ideal because you are aware of the exact dosage your pet is getting.

You may feel like your dog is behaving perfectly after the first dose, and you dose him again, which can be very harmful to him.
