CBD for Horses: Oil, Treats, and Proper Use

CBD for horsescomes in several forms, such asCBD oil andCBD treats. Whether you choose to administer the oil directly into your horse’s mouth or give treats on the go, we’ll help you determine which form and dosage are right for your horse.

What is CBD for horses?

CBD stands for “cannabidiol,” a valuable active ingredient derived from the hemp plant that acts as a kind of “body police,” monitoring the balance of all bodily functions. When this balance is disrupted—for example, by anxiety or stress—CBD works to restore the body’s internal equilibrium. Horses also have their own endocannabinoid system, through which CBD exerts its effects. CBD can support your horse in everyday life—especially during stressful moments.

What CBD products are available for horses?

Why 5.6%—and not 20 or 30%?

When it comes to CBD for horses, you often see percentages like 20%, 30%, or higher. That sounds like “stronger,” but it means something different than it does for us. Such oils are usually a highly concentrated CBD extract in a carrier oil. Our oil is not a mixture, but rather the juice pressed directly from the whole hemp plant—100% hemp juice, full-spectrum.

The percentage doesn't indicate how good the product is. Since the total amount is higher for horses anyway, you'll just give a few more drops. In return, with nacani, you get a pure, natural product instead of an extract. Learn more in the guide: Is CBD oil suitable for horses?

Is CBD Safe for Horses? Side Effects

CBD is consideredwell-toleratedby horses and does not cause a “high” or lead to dependence. Based on current knowledge, accidentally administering too high a dose is harmless and may result, at most, in some tiredness, mild drowsiness, or a drier mouth. If your horse is taking other medications, it’s best to consult your veterinarian first.
