If you already use CBD yourself, you might have wondered:
“Can I just give my dog some of my CBD oil?”
It’s a great question — and one we hear a lot from loving, curious pet parents. After all, if CBD helps you stay calm or sleep better, it’s only natural to want the same gentle support for your dog.
But here’s the truth: while both humans and dogs share an endocannabinoid system, not all CBD oils are safe or effective across species. The difference often comes down to formulation, potency, and purity — and those differences matter when it comes to your pet’s safety.
Let’s break down why products made specifically for dogs — like Canine CBD Therapy’s Broad-Spectrum line — are the best way to go.
The Key Difference: Ingredients and Safety
Most human CBD products contain ingredients that dogs simply shouldn’t have — even in small amounts. Things like:
- Essential oils or flavorings (peppermint, citrus, xylitol) that can be toxic to dogs
- Higher potencies that make correct dosing almost impossible
- Added herbs or extracts meant for human metabolism, not canine
That’s why Canine CBD Therapy products are designed only for dogs — clean, Broad-Spectrum CBD from hemp, carefully blended with pet-safe carrier oils and precise dosing guidelines.
No THC, no harsh additives, no risk of overdoing it. Just clean, balanced relief.
What Does “Broad-Spectrum” Mean for Dogs?
You may have seen terms like full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and CBD isolate thrown around — but for dogs, Broad-Spectrum is the sweet spot.
It means the formula includes all the beneficial plant compounds (like terpenes and minor cannabinoids) that work together to boost results — without the THC.
THC, even in trace amounts, can be disorienting or stressful for dogs. Broad-Spectrum CBD provides the entourage effect of multiple compounds working together — but stays completely THC-free, keeping your pet’s experience calm, safe, and therapeutic.
Dosing Matters — A Lot
Even the cleanest CBD oil won’t help if the dosage isn’t right. Human CBD tinctures are often 5–10 times stronger than what’s safe for most dogs. That’s why pet-specific formulations come with weight-based dosing guides, helping you start low and find the perfect balance for your pup’s size, age, and health needs.
At Canine CBD Therapy, we make that simple. Our dropper bottles and chews include clear dosage recommendations, so you’ll never have to guess. You’ll know exactly how much to give — and how to gradually adjust to your dog’s comfort level.
What Pet Owners Are Saying
“I tried using my own CBD at first, but it made Bella groggy. Once I switched to Canine CBD Therapy’s Broad-Spectrum tincture, she relaxed without losing energy — perfect balance!” — Amanda, Tucson
“Our senior beagle was struggling with joint pain. We used the Canine CBD Therapy chews daily, and within a week he was climbing on the bed again — happy and wagging.” — Chris, Phoenix
“The balm has been a lifesaver for our shepherd’s hot spots. It’s gentle, smells great, and he doesn’t lick at it like other products.” — Sarah, Mesa
The Bottom Line
Yes, CBD can work wonders for dogs — but human CBD products aren’t made for canine safety or dosing.
Choosing a Broad-Spectrum formula designed for dogs means giving your pet all the calm, comfort, and relief of hemp — without the risks.

To help your dog live a calmer, more comfortable, more joyful life — safely and naturally.
