How to administer CBD Oil to your Dog

Ever wondered how you’re supposed to administer CBD oil to your dog? Well it’s relatively simple and there are a myriad of ways that it can be done. The health and wellness of your beloved pet is of great importance, and we’ve compiled a list of ways that your dog can reap the benefits of CBD oil. 

Apply directly in your dog’s mouth

For starters, don’t rule out simply taking the dropper and attempting to directly administer the treatment. In some cases it is quite possible to open your dog’s mouth while simultaneously tilting it back to a degree and placing the dose of CBD oil as close to the back of their throat without gagging them. Additionally, be sure to be ready to go with a treat right after giving them the treatment—it will serve to motivate them to swallow the concoction while making a positive association with the act itself. 

Place it on their dog treat 

If the direct approach doesn’t work, there is always the mixing of the dog treat with the CBD oil trick. Firstly, get yourself a porous and tasty treat capable of absorbing the oil because the last thing you want to do is to put CBD oil on a treat that causes the oil to spill off on the sides on to the floor. After placing the CBD oil on the treat, allow it to soak in for a few moments. Soon thereafter give your dog the CBD oil saturated treat allowing them to dig in. 

Mix it with their favorite snack

If you still find yourself struggling with finding the best option—you can try mixing the treatment into some tasty table food which is not inherently harmful to the dog. For example, some dogs love peanut butter or even some bread. It is entirely possible to place the CBD oil dose into one of these treats. Doing so will allow your dog to take his treatment while enjoying a delectable snack. 

Finally, if all else fails you can place the CBD oil into your dog’s food. It is recommended to gradually increase the dosage of CBD oil into their food, this reduces the risk of ruining the taste of the entire meal for your beloved companion. If you introduce the CBD oil gradually your dog’s taste buds will have a chance to adjust for when the time comes to administer the full dosage. Be sure to do research to discover the many ways that your dog can benefit from CBD oil.
