Doggy Drops (30ml)
"Doggy Drops" typically refers to specialized Full-spectrum Hemp Oil or FECO-based tinctures formulated specifically for canine physiology. Unlike standard human FECO, these are usually diluted with a pet-safe carrier oil (like MCT or Salmon oil) to allow for drop-by-drop precision.
Why "Drops" Over Raw FECO?
Dogs have significantly more cannabinoid receptors in their hindbrain than humans. Giving them a "grain of rice" size of raw FECO is often a massive overdose. Doggy Drops provide:
Precision: 1 drop usually equals a specific milligram amount (e.g., 1mg per drop), making it easier to avoid "Static Ataxia" (disorientation).
Bioavailability: When dropped directly into the mouth, the oil absorbs through the mucous membranes, bypassing the liver for faster relief.
Taste: Most "Doggy Drops" are flavored with bacon, chicken, or beef to overcome the naturally bitter, grassy taste of the hemp plant.
Dosing Guide for Doggy Drops
A general rule of thumb for starting a full-spectrum regimen is 1mg to 2mg of CBD for every 10 lbs of body weight.
| Dog Weight | Starting Dose (Low) | Moderate Dose (Chronic) | Strong Dose (Severe Pain) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 lbs | 1 mg (1 drop) | 3 mg | 5 mg |
| 20 lbs | 2 mg (2 drops) | 6 mg | 10 mg |
| 50 lbs | 5 mg (5 drops) | 15 mg | 25 mg |
| 90 lbs | 9 mg (9 drops) | 27 mg | 45 mg |
Note: Calculations assume a standard "1 drop = 1 mg" concentration. Always check your bottle's specific potency.
Best Practices for Administration
Directly in the Mouth: For the fastest results (anxiety, acute pain), place drops under the tongue or against the gums.
The "Porous Treat" Trick: If your dog is head-shy, put the drops on a freeze-dried meat treat. These act like a sponge and ensure the dog gets the full dose.
Timing: For chronic issues like arthritis, consistency is key. Give the drops every 8 to 12 hours to maintain a steady level in their system.
[!WARNING]
Check for Xylitol: If you mix the drops with peanut butter to help them go down, ensure the peanut butter does not contain Xylitol (Birch Sugar), which is highly toxic to dogs.
