CBD capsules for dogs & cats

Pet capsules are gelatin or vegetable capsules filled with a measured amount of hemp or cannabis extract, usually CBD in a carrier oil, and sized for animals rather than people. Talk to your veterinarian before giving any cannabis or hemp product to your animal, capsules included. THC is toxic to dogs, and pet products are generally formulated to avoid it, which is why labels commonly state a THC content of zero or a trace amount. Read that line before you buy. Capsules are given whole or tucked into food, and because the contents are sealed inside, nothing changes the taste or smell of the bowl. Labels list cannabinoid content per capsule, the count per bottle, the carrier oil, and an animal weight range. Availability depends on your state.

Capsules hide themselves completely. Nothing gets poured over the food, so an animal that walks away from an oiled bowl may still take a capsule tucked inside a piece of soft food. The trade-off is flexibility, because a capsule is a fixed amount and cannot be divided the way a marked dropper can. Check that the capsule size suits your animal and that the label states a weight range.

Selection varies a lot, so check what is stocked before you drive anywhere. Use Leafly to see licensed dispensaries near you and their current menus, then browse pet capsules on Leafly to compare cannabinoid content per capsule and the weight ranges on the label.
