How to Give CBD Oil to Your Dog or Cat

Every pet is different—and that includes how they prefer to take supplements. If your dog or cat is hesitant about hemp oil, there are several simple, pet-friendly ways to make daily administration easier and more consistent.

At Pet Releaf, our hemp-derived supplements are designed to support your pet’s overall wellness, including calm behavior, mobility, and everyday health. While some pets take oil directly, others may prefer it mixed into part of their routine.

Give Hemp Oil in an Empty Food Bowl

Many pets associate their food bowl with positive experiences. Adding your pet’s recommended serving of hemp oil to an empty bowl can encourage them to lick it up, especially if they recognize familiar scents from mealtime.

Use with a Treat or Chew

If your pet prefers treats, you can add hemp oil to a chew or supplement they already enjoy. Products like Edibites can help make administration feel more like a reward.

Mix with Pet-Safe Flavor Enhancers

For picky pets, try mixing hemp oil with a small amount of pet-safe flavoring, such as tuna water (for cats) or a pet-safe broth. This can make the experience more appealing without significantly altering their routine.

Should Hemp Oil Be Given With or Without Food?

Many pet parents ask whether hemp oil should be given during mealtime or on its own. In general, administering hemp oil outside of mealtime can help keep the serving consistent and ensure your pet receives the full amount. It also allows for better absorption.

That said, the best method is the one your pet will reliably take. 

If your pet only accepts supplements during meals, you may want to consider a format designed to be easily incorporated into feeding routines. Our Ultra Releaf Liposomal Hemp Oil can be given during mealtime, offering a convenient option for pets who prefer supplements mixed with food.

No matter which method you choose, consistency is key. Daily use as part of your pet’s routine can help support their overall wellness.
