Our USDA-certified organic partner farm in Fort Collins, Colorado, produces the hemp we use for our CBD Pet Tinctures. Our farmers have studied more than 20,000 hemp strains to find the ones that contain maximum CBD and minimum THC for a perfect full-spectrum blend. We supervise the whole process, from planting hemp, to harvesting, manufacturing, and packing our CBD Pet Treats and CBD Pet Tinctures. Every single product is made with love because we really love what we do.

How Does CBD Oil Work?
Like humans, our dogs, cats, and horses all have endocannabinoid systems (ECS). The ECS is responsible for maintaining our body’s natural balance and sustaining our overall well-being.
The ECS regulates our appetite, mood, inflammation, and pain perception among many other functions. CBD has a close affinity to the cannabinoids that work within the ECS and supports their effects.
When something is amiss within our body, our ECS releases cannabinoids to fix the problem. Research suggests that CBD helps the ECS work more effectively. This makes CBD oil for pets a potentially helpful ally in supporting the immune system and natural health.
How Do CBD Pet Tinctures Work?
Dogs, cats, and horses suffer from conditions that take joy and happiness away from their lives. Anxiety and nervousness, joint pains, loss of appetite, skin allergies, and natural aging can prevent your animal from comfortable walks, running around in the backyard, and enjoying their food.
Suzie’s CBD pet tinctures have been specifically formulated for pets. Our CBD tinctures can be drizzled over food or taken orally to help with Our CBD tinctures can be drizzled over food or taken orally and may help with inflammation, anxiety, fur health, and aging. Once in the body, the CBD gently nudges the ECS to work more productively, and in turn, your pet may feel the beneficial effect of CBD.
The Endocannabinoid System and CBD
All animals with backbones have an endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is responsible for maintaining the body’s natural balance. The ECS controls mood, appetite, and pain perception, among many other functions. To do so, it works with cannabinoids and their respective receptors. When something is out of balance, the ECS releases cannabinoids to attach to their respective receptors and alert cells.
CBD interacts with this endocannabinoid system in a gentle, indirect way. CBD shows great affinity to one of the human cannabinoids. However, instead of working directly on the receptors, it seems to nudge the ECS to make better and more efficient use of its own cannabinoids.
This is the reason why it could take a few days, or even up to two weeks, for CBD to make its presence felt.
How Much CBD Tincture Should I Give My Pet?
The philosophy regarding dosage for CBD tinctures is to “start low, go slow”: start with a low dosage and increase it gradually over the course of a few weeks, making adjustments depending on your health expectations.
As a guideline rule, CBD dosage for dogs and cats depends on their weight and overall health. We recommend starting with 1 mg of CBD per 10 pounds of weight. It is generally wise to “start low, go slow”: start with a low, twice daily dosage and let CBD work its way through your pet’s system over several days. If you don’t reach your expected health target, you can slowly increase the dosage. For horses, we recommend starting with 10 mg. You can increase this dose to 20 mg of CBD if needed.
It is common that pet owners start with CBD Pet Treats to see how their animals react to them, and once the pet owner has established their preferred dosage and CBD’s effect on their pet, they switch to CBD Pet Tinctures as they are more cost-effective.
How Should I Give the CBD Tinctures To My Pet?
CBD oil can be administered in several ways. The easiest way is to dribble the CBD drops on your pet’s food or onto a treat. If your pet is comfortable with it, you can also drop the CBD Tincture directly into their mouth, or rub it onto their gums.
Since gums have capillaries that connect directly to the bloodstream this method of consumption delivers faster and more effective results as it increases bioavailability. However, we do recommend using caution with this method as some animals might not welcome this approach.
Full-Spectrum CBD Oil for Pets
Our Pet CBD tinctures are produced from organic full-spectrum CBD oil. This means your tincture contains all the beneficial botanical properties of hemp. Instead of just CBD, our CBD Pet Tinctures contain all the hard-working cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, minerals, and vitamins found in hemp.
Both experience and studies suggest that full-spectrum CBD is more potent and beneficial than CBD isolate alone thanks to the so-called entourage effect [1]. Hemp is brimming with more than 540 phytonutrients. All these botanical compounds have their own potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and stress-relieving properties that work hand-in-hand with CBD. Thanks to the entourage effect, the benefits are maximized: When these hemp compounds work together, they seem to produce an optimal overall effect, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts.
Our lab results and certificates of analysis show that the THC content of our CBD products always remains below the legal 0.3% threshold. The THC content in Suzie’s CBD tinctures and treats is at such low levels that it is perfectly safe for pets and trace amounts of THC have even been shown to enhance the effectiveness of CBD.
We provide lab results for every product that leaves our warehouse, and you can view our Certificates of Analysis to review lab results.
Some pet owners can be tempted to use off-the-shelf human CBD oil and add a few drops to their pet’s bowl.However, we advise against giving human products to pets as some human CBD products contain artificial sweeteners, alcohol, or other additives that may be harmful to pets.
While all our products are made with human-grade CBD oil and ingredients, they are tailor-made to be safe for pets so you can have complete peace of mind about the quality of CBD you are giving to your furry family.
