🐾CBD Oil vs CBD Animal Treats
The world of CBD can be a little overwhelming. Sticky Frog CBD is here to make it easy.
CBD is dosed not just by weight of the animal but also by their symptoms they are experiencing and the severity of the symptom.
We have created several blends to help your pet. We call them regular strength and extra strength. CBD isn't an exact science. Like other supplements, different dosages will be required for different symptoms and weight of the animal.
CALMING & MOBILITY BLENDS
Our calming blends can be used for everyday anxiety management and also situational events, such as guests visiting for holidays or going for a car ride/trailing ride.
Below we have listed the "Starting" point for the proper milligrams dosage for the weight of the animal and the severity of the symptom. If you do not see the results you were hoping for, up the dosage to Extra Strength and go from there. Keep a journal of the dosing for future reference. Your animal cannot Over Dose. The worst symptom would be very very sleepy animal. They will just sleep it off. CBD is like Vitamin C, any unused CBD will be urinated out of the body.

If the animal’s condition worsens or does not improve, stop product administration and consult with your veterinarian. An examination from a veterinarian is recommended prior to using this product.
WHY A COCONUT OIL BASE
What is a CBD carrier oil?
CBD "oil" on its own is a thick hard honey type substance that makes it impossible to use by itself. It needs a carrier oil to help dilute/dispense. A carrier oil such as Coconut oil, Olive Oil or Avocado Oil, soaks into the blood stream for over all health and body balance.
Sticky Frog uses Fractionated Coconut Oil for the best absorption and the pleasant taste animals love.
The CBD needs to be diluted by a carrier oil for three reasons.
- Ease of dosage: In the process of extraction, the concentration of CBD becomes very high. Since being able to alter dosage between animals is so important, by diluting the extract it’s much easier to measure your daily dose.
- Bioavailability: CBD is best absorbed after binding with fat molecules that their body finds it easier to break down. Carrier oils increase the bioavailability of the hemp compounds i.e. the amount their body can process.
- Ease of intake: Put simply, ingesting purified CBD oil isn’t the most pleasant experience. By using a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, the whole process becomes much more pleasant.
