CBD oil for your cat

CBD oil especially for cats

CBD oil is made by mixing a CBD extract with a vegetable or animal oil. CBD oil for humans usually uses hemp seed oil. The advantage is that the entire product then comes from the same source: the hemp plant. However, the bitter taste is an important disadvantage.

CBD oil for cats therefore also contains fish oil. This concerns, for example, sardine oil, herring oil or salmon oil. After all, it is common knowledge that cats love a tasty fish. Hence.

Low concentration of CBD for the cat

However, there is another difference between CBD oil for people and CBD oil for animals: less CBD. The reason is related to a pet's weight.

Depending on the height and width, an adult human usually weighs anywhere from 60 kg to 90 kg. Do you know how much an adult cat weighs on average? Between 3,6 kg and 4,5 kg.

This much lower body weight means that a cat also needs much less CBD. For this reason, CBD oil for cats has a low concentration of cannabidiol (CBD). It contains 2% to 4% CBD.

What percentage?

Our advice is:

2% CBD oil for cats weighing 1-3 kilos.
4% CBD oil for cats weighing 3 kilos and heavier.

Administer CBD oil

A common method in which people take CBD oil is by dropping a few drops under the tongue. We do not recommend trying to get a cat to ingest CBD oil in this way. It's the quickest way to a few sharp nails in the arm or a few sharp teeth in the fingers.

Tip: mix the correct number of drops of CBD oil with the cat food. You must then ensure that your cat eats the food bowl completely. To achieve this, you can, for example, give your cat slightly less food than normal. The chance that your cat will leave leftovers is then much smaller.

Shake before use

It is also wise to ensure that the CBD oil is at room temperature before mixing a few drops with the cat food. CBD oil that has just come out of the refrigerator drips less well.

Shaking it vigorously beforehand is also important. This ensures that the CBD present is well distributed throughout the fish oil. This way you can be sure that the concentration of CBD in every drop is the same.

Experiences of CBD oil in cats

CBD and THC can alleviate many health problems. Specifically in cats, CBD oil can treat: arthritis, joint pain, inflammation, tension, restlessness, loss of appetite, loss of energy, aggression, infections, allergies and epileptic seizures.

How many drops of CBD oil for the cat?

The guideline for pets is: 1 drop of CBD oil per 5 kilograms of weight. Since a cat almost always weighs less than 5 kilos, you only need to give your cat 1 drop of CBD oil per intake moment.

Furthermore, 3 intake moments per day apply. It is best to spread these intake times over the day as much as possible: 1 drop in the morning, 1 drop in the afternoon and 1 drop in the evening.

By the way, you don't have to worry if you have given your cat more CBD oil than the above guideline indicates. CBD is not a psychoactive substance and it is impossible for your cat to get high from this form of cannabis oil. There are also no known adverse effects of cannabidiol (CBD).

THC oil for cats

Things are different with THC oil for pets. With THC oil there is a risk of a high.

However, if CBD oil does not have the desired effect on your cat, this may be a reason to try THC oil. Be very careful. A cat weighs much less than a human and the risk of a high is therefore greater.

Therefore, choose THC oil with a low concentration of THC and never give your cat more than 1 drop of THC oil per intake moment.
