While this product is no longer sold directly by us, we have linked to a reputable alternate brand below. The CBD is of excellent quality, organic and third-party tested.
CBD oil for pets is specially formulated for dogs and cats. Animals — particularly dogs — have significantly more cannabinoid receptors in their endocannabinoid systems than humans, which means they are more sensitive to cannabinoids. Never give your pet human CBD oil.
Dr Hemp Me offer two pet-specific strengths: 5% for small and medium dogs and cats, and 10% for large dogs. The oil uses a salmon oil base which makes it palatable for most animals. Contact them directly if you are unsure which strength suits your pet.

Dogs and cats have a more developed endocannabinoid system than humans — with a higher concentration of cannabinoid receptors, particularly in the brain. This means they respond more strongly to cannabinoids and are significantly more sensitive to THC.
Human CBD oils are formulated for human body weight and tolerance, and many use carrier oils — such as MCT or olive oil — that are fine for people but not ideal for animals. Pet CBD oils use species-appropriate carriers (Dr Hemp Me use salmon oil), are produced at lower concentrations, and are THC-free by design. Using a human product on your dog is not recommended.
Important: Never give your pet a CBD oil that contains THC. Even trace amounts that are safe for humans can be toxic to dogs. Always verify the product is explicitly labelled THC-free and carries a third-party Certificate of Analysis.
Dosage depends on your dog's body weight and the concentration of the product. The general starting guideline used by most pet CBD brands is 1–2mg of CBD per 10kg of body weight per day. The table below gives an approximate starting point — always defer to the specific product label.
| Dog Size | Approx. Weight | Suggested Strength | Starting Dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small / Cat | Under 10kg | 5% | 1–2 drops once daily |
| Medium | 10–25kg | 5% | 2–4 drops once daily |
| Large | 25–40kg | 10% | 2–3 drops once daily |
| Very Large | 40kg+ | 10% | 3–5 drops once daily |
Start at the lower end of the range and observe your pet for 5–7 days before adjusting. Most owners add the drops directly to food, which the salmon oil base makes easy. If you are unsure about dosing for your specific pet, Dr Hemp Me offer a free pre-order consultation.

If your pet has a diagnosed condition or is on medication, speak to your vet before introducing CBD. It is a supplement, not a substitute for veterinary care.

Yes, provided you use a product specifically formulated for pets and confirmed THC-free. Never give dogs human CBD oil. Dogs are more sensitive to cannabinoids than humans, and THC — even in small amounts — can be toxic to them.
A general starting point is 1–2mg of CBD per 10kg of body weight per day. Start at the low end and monitor your dog for a week before increasing. Always follow the dosage chart on the product label — see the table above for a rough guide by dog size.
The 5% is suited to small and medium dogs (under roughly 25kg) and cats. The 10% is for large dogs. A higher concentration means fewer drops needed per dose. If you are between sizes or unsure, Dr Hemp Me offer a free consultation before your first order.

Yes — the 5% pet oil from Dr Hemp Me is suitable for cats as well as small dogs. Cats are particularly sensitive to certain compounds, so always use a product specifically labelled for cats or pets, and start with the lowest possible dose.
The easiest method is to add the correct number of drops to your dog's food. The salmon oil base makes this straightforward — most dogs take it without hesitation. You can also apply drops directly into the mouth, though mixing with food is usually simpler.
