Frequently Asked Questions About Joint Supplements for Dogs and Cats

What are the best hip & joint supplements for dogs and cats?

Our most effective natural supplements for supporting healthy joint function in dogs and cats include full spectrum hemp extract (CBD/CBDa), glucosamine, omega-3 fatty acids, medicinal mushrooms, and liposomal glutathione. Earth Buddy's Mobility 500mg CBDa tincture and Balance 500mg are formulated specifically for dogs and cats experiencing joint stiffness, while our Joint Supplements Bundle combines the most complementary formulas into one comprehensive daily routine. Always consult your veterinarian before starting a new supplement regimen.

What is the difference between CBD and CBDa for dog joint support?

CBD and CBDa are both cannabinoids found in the hemp plant, but CBDa is the raw, unheated precursor to CBD. Research suggests CBDa may improve the efficacy and absorption of CBD oil by 5 times... Meaning, they work synergistically to provide an Entourage Effect.

Earth Buddy's Mobility formula uses a CBDa-dominant blend, while our Balance formula combines CBD and CBDa at a 50/50 ratio. Many pet owners use both together for layered, full-spectrum support.

How long does it take for CBDa or CBD Oil to support joint health for dogs?

Most pet owners notice changes in their dog's comfort and mobility within 20-30 days of consistent daily use. Earth Buddy's 2022 study found that dogs using Mobility 500mg showed a 60% improvement in quality of life within 20 days. Results vary based on your dog's size, age, and individual response. For best results, use consistently every day and give the formula at least 30 days before evaluating.

Are Earth Buddy's joint supplements safe for cats too?

Yes - all Earth Buddy hemp extract formulas are safe for both dogs and cats. Dosing differs by weight, so always refer to the product label for species-specific guidelines. Our 250mg CBD Oil is ideal for cats and small breeds, while the 500mg and 1000mg formulas are recommended for medium to large dogs.
