Safety and Dosage Considerations
Herbal supplements are generally safe, but proper uses is essential. Follow these guidelines:
-
Consult Your Veterinary Surgeon: Always speak to your vet before adding a supplement to your dog's diet, particularly for puppies, seniors, or dogs with medical issues.
-
Start Slow: Begin with the recommended dosage on the label and observe your dog for any reactions. Most hemp oils suggest a dose based on weight (e.g., 1 drop per 10 lbs).
-
Monitor for Changes: Look for improvements in behaviour, coat quality, and mobility. If you notice any adverse effects, discontinue uses and consult your vet.
-
Avoid Toxic Herbs: Never give your dog herbs like grapes, raisins, or macadamia nuts. Stick to dog-safe options.
