All Paws Essentials can help dogs with anxiety, pain (especially joint pain), and inflammation. It can also stimulate appetite and help dogs sleep more at night.

There are countless CBD products for dogs on the market, with some more effective than others. What matters most, however, are the cannabinoids used and whether the product is formulated to high standards. Format — oil, chews, balm, shampoos, etc. — matters less, but only to the extent that the pet owner or veterinarian knows what works best for the dog in question.

Organic Dog CBD Products: What to Look For

As we look for the best CBD products for dogs, we consider things like a broad spectrum and zero THC (which is toxic to dogs), multiple potency options with easy dosing methods, and something that dogs find appetizing. These chicken-flavored chews from Aspen Green hit all of the marks: They’re full-spectrum, made with hemp grown using organic practices, and come with a hand-scoring line down the middle to make them easy to split into two doses.

These soft chews from Chou2 Pharma are another great option for small dogs with anxiety or joint pain. They’re easy to chew, have a pleasant chicken flavor, and deliver 5mg of CBD per chew. Plus, the company’s unique step of encapsulating and protecting those cannabinoid molecules as they move through the digestive tract improves bioavailability.
