Can you give your horse too much CBD Oil? The answer is no. There hasn’t been any evidence that you can overdose or intoxicate your horse, dog or even yourself if you take too much CBD Hemp Oil. However, when it comes to CBD for animals, your horse might become calm, sluggish or even sleepy if the dosage is too high. Mammals actually tolerate CBD oil fairly well. The body will use what it needs and then expel the rest.
CBD in equines can create a calming effect. We have found that horses are less anxious while still performing at a high or even higher level. If a horse is on stall rest, then the CBD dose for the equine is typically doubled to keep them safe while being confined.
Unlike human dosage, equines have an extremely sensitive intestinal system. So administering the right dose of CBD for animals is extremely important. You cannot use the same dosage guidelines for humans with the equine family. Dosage for humans and dogs is typically figured out by the weight. Horses and other members of the equine family, the calculations are much different.
When it comes to CBD, more isn’t necessarily better. As a matter of fact, once your horse is on CBD for several months, you might find that your horse needs only half a dose. Your horses will let you know quickly if they need more or less. You will be able to tell by the way they are moving and eating.
At H & J Equine CBD Supplements, we consulted with veterinarians, farriers and many horse owners that tested our products to come up with the correct CBD dosage for equine. For more additional information, go to www.hjequine.com.
