How Long Does It Take For CBD Oil To Work On Dogs?
Pet owners are looking for a fast and effective medical cannabis relief for their dogs, but how long does it take for CBD oil to really kick in?
CBD oil generally works fast for dogs when taken under their tongue. For adult dogs, CBD oil takes anywhere between ten to twenty minutes to kick in. CBD oil tends to work more effectively when taken over a few months, and the immediate effects when taken orally for puppies or adult dogs are just a few minutes.
Cannabis, otherwise known as marijuana or hemp, is a legal medicine in Australia. CBD is extracted from cannabis and provided to patients in the form of oil and is a non-intoxicating medicine.
Dogs and Humans have an endocannabinoid system that is positively affected by medicinal marijuana, which includes CBD oil. Once the CBD oil has been absorbed in the dog’s bloodstream, you will begin to see the positive medical effects.
For general pain or seizures, a few drops of CBD oil under your dog’s tongue will have it absorbed in their bloodstream within a few minutes.
The physical effects of CBD oil that can be seen within 10 to 30 minutes include:
- Relaxation
- Calm breathing
- Reduction in pain
- Reduction in seizures
- Positive behaviour
For the treatment of PTSD and anxiety in your dog, the positive effects of CBD oil will take a few weeks or months to kick in.
CBD oil has been shown to have positive effects on the treatment of depression, epilepsy, and various forms of anxiety. Even though it takes a few weeks or months to achieve the best effects of CBD Oil, the long-term benefits make CBD Oil one of the best alternative medicines.
It is also common to add drops of CBD oil into your dog’s food. Compared to taking CBD oil under your dog’s tongue, adding the oil to food will take anywhere between 30 minutes to 3 hours to take effect.
So if you are looking for a fast and effective treatment for pain, epilepsy, or anxiety, CBD oil under your dog’s tongue only takes a few minutes to kick in. This greatly increases your pet’s quality of life.
