When should I start taking CBD?
CBD is most effective when a baseline level has already been established. To achieve this, your dog should already be taking it regularly before things get noisy outside. Start giving it regularly no later than two weeks before New Year’s Eve—many of our customers start as early as December 1. This allows everything to settle in gradually.
How should I dose CBD on New Year's Eve?
For regular dosing in the weeks leading up to New Year’s Eve, the same rule of thumb applies as usual: about0.5 to 1 mg of CBD per kilogram of body weight daily, divided into two to three doses. On New Year’s Eve itself—in this acute, exceptional situation—you may also givethree to four timesthat amount on a short-term basis.
Don't worry, you can't really go wrong here: If you give your dog too much CBD, the only noticeable effect will be a bit more tiredness—not any harmful side effects. OurCBD dosage calculator for dogswill calculate the exact number of drops for your dog's weight right away.
Why is my dog scared on New Year's Eve?
Your dog’s hearing is many times more sensitive than ours. The loud bangs overwhelm him, and your dog can’t classify the sounds as “harmless.” Added to this are unfamiliar smells of sulfur and burning, flashes of light, and vibrations. And because dogs are highly attuned to our moods, your own tension quickly rubs off on him.
CBD won’t make your dog “high” or cause addiction. It can help prevent your dog from becoming too anxious and allow them to enjoy the evening in a more relaxed way. You can read more background information and real-life experiences in our guide,“CBD for a Stress-Free New Year’s Eve.”
