FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CBD (Cannabidiol) is a chemical compound found in the hemp plant. CBD enters the body and is received by the endocannabinoid system, which regulates physiological and cognitive processes, such as learning and memory, emotional processing, sleep, temperature control, pain control, inflammatory and immune responses, and eating. This system is found in all animals, including humans and their dogs.
No, because CBD products are made from hemp, which lacks the THC content needed to create a “high.”
CBD can take about 30 minutes to be received by the endocannabinoid system and take effect, but all dogs are unique, and some may process the CBD more quickly or more slowly than others.
Depending on the reason for taking CBD, some dogs may not see the benefits until they’ve received CBD doses for a few days. Recent studies have shown that repeated daily doses have a cumulative effect, meaning that the benefits are greater and last longer after routinely receiving CBD.
The method of delivery also matters. CBD oils are absorbed into the system more quickly than CBD that has been baked into a treat. Choose the delivery that works best for your pet.
There are no negative side effects to consuming too much CBD. However, some pups have gotten a little too eager and eaten an entire bag of BakedBones, resulting in an upset stomach from eating too many baked goodies. Everything in moderation!

“Hemp” and “Marijuana” are different names for the same plant: Cannabis. The distinction between the two is that “hemp” is considered to be a cannabis plant that has less than 0.3% THC content, while “marijuana” is a cannabis plant that contains higher levels of THC.
In general, 1 to 3 MG of CBD per 10 pounds of weight is recommended for dogs. We recommend that you start low and increase as necessary. If you would like more specific dosing guidelines for your pet, or for any health concerns, medication interactions, or other questions, contact your dog’s veterinarian.
Here are some basic guidelines for starting doses:
Studies show that the half-life of CBD is about 4 hours after entering the endocannabinoid system, meaning that only about half of the original dose is active in the body after 4 hours.
The hemp BakedBones uses is organically grown in the U.S. Midwest, where the cannabis plants benefit from rich soil and four full seasons. The oil is extracted from the hemp plants using an advanced chemical-free cold CO2 process.
All our products are handmade and slow baked by the BakedBones team in Houston, Texas.
The BakedBones CBD oil tinctures are an efficient way to share CBD with your dog. Some dogs enjoy taking the drops directly from the dropper, but others may prefer to lick it from a dish or your hand. Most dogs enjoy the coconut flavor of the MCT oil, but the tincture can also be added to food if coconut isn’t their thing!
Here’s a chart to help you measure the right amount:
