Hemp Dog Chews

They can, when the active ingredient is dosed meaningfully and the CBD chew is made well. That's why all-natural ingredients and high-quality products are so important. Earth Buddy's hemp calming chews contain a precise amount of full-spectrum CBD per chew, so the cannabinoids work alongside CBDa, CBG, and terpenes to create the entourage effect rather than relying on CBD alone.

In 2022, Earth Buddy conducted a study of about 70 pets during the fireworks season, which is a notoriously stressful situation for dogs and other pets. This study showed significant results in the lower-dose range and statistically calmer dogs. Unlike controlled trials, this study had real-world, owner-reported data from pet parents.

The key differences lie in format and flavor base. Hemp hearts are crunchy, meat-free, heart-shaped treats. Earth Buddy's hemp hearts come in Blueberry or Pumpkin flavors, available at 4- 8 mg of CBD. There is also an Extra Strength option, with 8mg CBD for larger dogs. On the other hand, soft chews are meat-first for picky eaters, available in Duck & Apple at 5mg CBD and Beef & Pumpkin at 10mg CBD.

If your dog turns up their nose at plant-based treats, the meat-first soft chews tend to win. But if you want a simple crunchy daily treat, the hemp hearts are the easy entry point. Both hemp hearts and soft chews can be used for overall wellness, optimal digestion, calming effects, and normal emotional balance.

Match the per-chew CBD to your dog's weight and start on the low end. A small dog often does well on a 4mg or 5mg chew, while a large breed may suit the 8mg Extra Strength Hemp Hearts or the 10mg Beef & Pumpkin Soft Chew. Giving one higher-strength calming chew can be simpler than stacking several low-strength calming chews. Start low, watch how your furry friend responds, and adjust from there.

Our CBD calming chews for dogs are made with full-spectrum hemp extract, subcritical CO2, and zero chemicals. Our “low and slow” baking process uses lower temperatures to ensure our dog calming chews retain their potency, preserving palatability and effectiveness.

Yes, especially the meat-first soft chews. The Duck & Apple chew uses duck, a novel protein for dogs that react to chicken or beef, and the Beef & Pumpkin chew leads with beef and pumpkin for palatability. Both are built around taste so the dog actually eats them, which matters because the most effective routine is the one your dog will accept daily.

Yes. The chews are designed for daily use, since it takes time for naturally-occurring CBD to build up in the dog's endocannabinoid system. With consistent use, they do the most good. They can be used to support relaxation, maintain calmness, and manage situational stress. Many pet owners even use them for joint health and immune system support, especially for senior dogs or older pets.

Our CBD dog chews contain 0.3% THC or less, the federal hemp standard, which is non-intoxicating. Start at the lower end of the recommended dosing range for your dog's size, give them around feeding time, and adjust gradually. As with any supplement, check with your vet if your dog is on medication or has an existing health condition.

CBD dog chews can pull double duty. The 4mg Hemp Hearts in particular work as a reward-sized treat that can promote calm behavior, which suits training sessions or exercise when you want your furry friend settled and focused. For higher-strength chews, pet owners should keep the training portions small and count them toward your dog's daily total.

Earth Buddy has three things that competitors rarely combine.

First, the cannabinoids come from subcritical CO2-extracted CBD oil, rather than chemically processed distillate, a method unique to Earth Buddy.

Second, the hemp itself is grown without pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers and traced from seed to shelf, so the raw material is clean before anything is made.

Third, every batch is tested by an independent ISO-accredited lab with a QR code linking to that batch's results. Most CBD products or CBD dog treats from other companies can claim none of these.
