CBD oil for pets is a liquid hemp-derived product formulated and labeled for use with animals. Product formulations can differ, so review the current ingredient list, product information and available laboratory documentation before use.

The FDA has not approved CBD for general use in animals. Pet owners should avoid treating CBD products as substitutes for veterinary care and should discuss questions about their individual animals with a veterinarian.

If you have questions about whether a hemp-derived CBD product is appropriate for your pet—particularly if your animal has an existing health condition or receives medications—consult your veterinarian before use.

Look for:

• a clearly identified product;
• a complete ingredient list;
• straightforward product-use information;
• clearly stated cannabinoid information;
• accessible third-party laboratory documentation;
• a company you can contact when you have questions.

Laboratory reports may show THC as not detected when it was not found above the laboratory method's applicable reporting threshold. Review the current Certificate of Analysis rather than relying solely on wording on the front label.

Use products according to their labeling and intended use. Human products can have different formulations and additional ingredients. If you're considering a cannabinoid product for an animal, use the product information provided and discuss questions with your veterinarian.

Follow the current storage instructions supplied with the product. Keep the container securely closed, out of reach of animals and children, and protected from unnecessary heat or direct sunlight.
