As with most animals, making a dosage recommendation for cats is very difficult. The effect of CBD is an individual matter. Every cat reacts differently to CBD, just as we do.
The correct CBD oil dosage for cats depends on the following factors:
- What breed is it?
- How old is the cat?
- What is the state of health?
- What complaints need to be relieved?
- How heavy is the cat?
Generally, you should choose a low dosage for small, light cats. Large, heavy cats with a body weight of over 5 kg can tolerate a little more CBD. Orienting yourself to your cat's body weight usually works best.
We recommend proceeding as follows:
Start with a low CBD dosage and work your way to the optimal CBD amount with patience. Once you have found the right dosage, you can stick to it and only adjust it in extraordinary situations. You can use these guidelines to dose CBD for cats properly:
Weight |
CBD dosage for cats |
---|
lightweight (2-3 kg) |
1 mg CBD per day |
medium (3-5 kg) |
2 mg CBD per day |
heavy (> 5 kg) |
2,5-4 mg CBD per day |
In addition, the following rule of thumb can help find the correct
dosage:
Weight in kg * 0.4 mg CBD = daily dose
If in doubt, always consult a veterinarian. Also, remember that CBD oil for cats is not a substitute for a balanced diet.
