Innovet CBD Capsules for Dogs: Dosing, Safety, and Usage Guide
Does your dog hate the taste of hemp oil? CBD supports joint health and calm behavior, but it only works if your dog actually swallows it.
For many pet owners, the challenge isn’t finding a good product; it’s getting their dog to eat it. The strong, earthy taste of natural hemp oil can be a dealbreaker for picky eaters and turn a simple daily dose into a stressful wrestling match.
That’s why we created our CBD capsules for dogs. They deliver clinical-strength, full-spectrum hemp extract inside a flavorless shell. They’re a precise, mess-free way to support your dog’s wellness without the struggle.

Distilled CBD
CBD capsules for dogs are pre-measured, flavorless pills containing premium hemp extract enclosed in a plant-based shell. They’re made to remove the “grassy” taste found in regular tinctures.
Once digested in the stomach, they deliver full-spectrum CBD that supports the body’s endocannabinoid system to help with anxiety, pain, and inflammation.
While they contain the same high-quality extract as our oil, the delivery method has a few advantages.
- Taste-free administration: The organic rice concentrate shell completely hides the hemp flavor, making this the best option for picky dogs.
- Digestion-based release: Unlike oils that absorb under the tongue, capsules must be digested. This takes longer to kick in (45 to 90 minutes) but provides a steady, long-lasting release.
- Convenience: There are no droppers to measure or spills to clean up. You get the exact same milligram dosage every single time, making it perfect for pet sitters or traveling.
Hemp capsules work by supporting your dog’s endocannabinoid system. When life stressors, aging, or injury knock your dog’s balance off, CBD steps in to help restore order.
Here are the three main areas where owners see the biggest difference:
1. Joint Health and Mobility
Arthritis and joint stiffness are inevitable for many dogs as they age. CBD is a natural compound that helps manage the body’s inflammatory response.
These capsules ease joint discomfort and muscle stiffness, helping your senior dog move more freely, struggle less with stairs, and enjoy daily walks again.
2. Anxiety and Stress Support
Stress takes a physical toll on your dog, especially if they struggle with separation anxiety, fear of fireworks, or general nervousness. CBD interacts with receptors in the brain to promote a state of “calm alertness.”
It doesn’t sedate them like a tranquilizer; it simply lowers their anxiety levels, helping them relax during stressful situations without changing their personality.
3. Immune and Digestive Wellness
The hemp seed carrier oil in our capsules is rich in omega fatty acids, which naturally support a healthy immune system and digestive tract.
Regular use can contribute to healthier skin, a shinier coat, and a more robust immune response to daily challenges.
Choosing between capsules and oil usually comes down to your dog’s personality and your daily routine.
CBD oil acts faster because it enters the bloodstream through the gums, but capsules are a simpler, mess-free experience that many owners prefer for travel or daily maintenance. If you’re wondering how the two compare, here’s a quick breakdown.
| Feature | CBD Capsules | CBD Oil (Tincture) |
|---|---|---|
| Taste and Smell | The shell hides the hemp taste completely. It’s best for picky eaters. | It has a natural grassy flavor that some dogs dislike. |
| Onset Time | The effect kicks in within 45 to 90 minutes because the CBD capsules need to be digested first. | CBD oil absorbs directly under the tongue or gums and the effects kick in within 15 to 30 minutes. |
| Duration | Digestion provides a slow, steady release. The effect lasts for 6 to 8 hours. | Metabolism processes the oil faster, meaning it lasts shorter (4 to 6 hours). |
| Dosing Precision | You get the same amount (e.g., 5 mg) every time. | You can measure drop-by-drop to fine-tune the amount. |
| Best For | Daily wellness, travel, pet sitters, and picky dogs. | Acute situations (fireworks/storms) requiring immediate relief and precise dosage. |

Finding the right dose isn’t complicated at all. Capsules make administration super convenient because they come in fixed doses (5 mg/25 mg). As a general rule, we recommend a starting dose of approximately 0.2 mg of CBD per pound of body weight.
We always encourage the “start low and go slow” approach. Begin with the minimum dose for 3 to 5 days to see how your dog reacts.
If they still seem anxious or stiff, you can gradually increase the amount until you find the sweet spot that brings them comfort without making them too sleepy.
Innovet CBD Capsules Dosage
Our capsules come in two strengths to accommodate different breeds. Use this guide to find the starting dose for your dog. Our CBD dosage calculator can also help you nail down the exact amount to give your pet.
| Dog Weight | Recommended Strength | Starting Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Small (Under 25 lbs) | 5 mg capsule | 1 capsule (once daily) |
| Medium (25 to 50 lbs) | 5 mg capsule | 1 to 2 capsules (once daily) |
| Large (50 to 90 lbs) | 5 mg capsule | 2 to 4 capsules (once daily) |
| Giant (100+ lbs) | 25 mg capsule | 1 capsule (once daily) |
Pro Tip: For continuous relief, most vets recommend splitting the daily dose. Giving half in the morning and half in the evening helps maintain steady CBD levels in your dog’s system throughout the day and night.
3 Stress-Free Ways to Give My Dog CBD Capsules
For many dogs, seeing a pill bottle is a cue to hide. But because our capsules are tasteless and odorless, you don’t need to force them down. You just need to hide the texture.
Here are some tricks we use to turn medication time into treat time:
- The Trojan horse: This is the classic approach. Wrap the capsule completely in a high-value treat like a piece of cheese, a glob of peanut butter, or a slice of deli meat. Because the shell has no bitter hemp taste, they’ll swallow it without realizing what’s inside.
- The sprinkle technique: Unlike soft gels, which are sealed shut, our hard capsules can be pulled apart. If your dog refuses to swallow a pill, simply twist the capsule open and sprinkle the powder directly onto their food. Mix it with a little wet food or broth to make sure they lick up every bit of the dose.
- The 1-2-3 trick: Dogs are fast eaters. To trick a smart dog, get three pieces of cheese ready. One has the capsule; two do not. Toss them a safe piece first (to build trust), then the capsule piece, then immediately toss the third safe piece. They usually swallow the middle one quickly to get to the third one.
When it comes to supplements, what isn’t in the capsule is just as important as what is. Many commercial pills use gelatin shells (derived from animal by-products) or artificial preservatives that can upset a sensitive digestive system.
We formulated our CBD capsules to be hypoallergenic and gentle. We use a short, transparent list of high-quality ingredients so you know exactly what your dog is digesting.
- Full-spectrum hemp extract: Sourced from organic farms in Oregon and Colorado, extracted using cold CO₂ methods. This ensures your dog gets the full benefit of cannabinoids and terpenes without any toxic solvents.
- Virgin hemp seed oil: Instead of the industry-standard MCT (coconut) , we use hemp seed oil as the carrier. This makes the product 100% hemp-derived and provides essential omega fatty acids that support healthy skin and coat.
- Organic rice concentrate shell: We use a plant-based alternative to gelatin. It dissolves quickly in the stomach for easy digestion and makes our capsules 100% vegan.
- Maltodextrin: This is a natural food additive derived from vegetable starch. It replaces sugar to keep the capsule stable without spiking your dog’s insulin levels.
Note: Safety is our non-negotiable standard. Every batch is independently tested by a third-party lab to guarantee it contains the correct potency and is free from pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents. You can access these Certificates of Analysis (COA) before buying our CBD capsules.
Yes. CBD is widely regarded as safe for dogs when sourced from industrial hemp (containing less than 0.3% THC). Unlike marijuana, it doesn’t have psychoactive properties, so your dog won’t get “high” or feel disoriented.
Severe adverse reactions are rare, but it’s helpful to know what to expect as your dog’s body adjusts. You might notice:
- Mild drowsiness: This is the most common side effect. If your dog seems lethargic rather than just relaxed, simply lower the dose next time.
- Increased thirst: CBD can decrease saliva production (dry mouth), so you may see your dog drinking more water than usual. A little extra hydration is great for them, so always keep a bowl of water accessible.
- Digestive upset: Like any new supplement, introducing a carrier oil can sometimes cause loose stool in sensitive dogs. This typically resolves quickly.
However, because CBD is a biologically active compound, there are some important safety considerations to keep in mind.
When Should I Consult My Veterinarian?
CBD isn’t a replacement for traditional medicine, especially if your dog has a pre-existing medical condition. You should always speak to your vet before starting a new supplement routine, particularly if:
- Your dog is pregnant or nursing.
- Your dog has known liver or kidney issues.
- You’re treating a serious neurological condition.
What CBD Drug Interactions Should I Watch for?
CBD is processed by the liver using the same enzyme pathway (cytochrome P450) as many prescription drugs. This means CBD can change how your dog’s body metabolizes other medications, which could make them too strong or too weak.
Please check with your vet if your dog is currently taking:
- Phenobarbital (for seizures)
- NSAIDs (like carprofen or Rimadyl)
- Heart medications
- Steroids (like prednisone)
In many cases, your vet may simply recommend spacing out the CBD dose by 2 to 3 hours from their regular medication to keep your dog safe.
We formulated our PurCBD+ Capsules to be the simple, safe solution for pet parents who need consistency without the mess. By handling our manufacturing in-house using cold CO₂ extraction, we ensure every single batch is pure, potent, and safe for your best friend.
You can try them risk-free. Every bottle is backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee. If these capsules don’t help your dog feel calmer or move easier, we’ll refund your purchase. No questions asked.
Give your dog the relief they deserve. Select 5 mg or 25 mg and add our CBD capsules to your cart!

- MMMary M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoQuick Fix, from anxiety
We use both the cbd oil, & the capsules.

- KCKaren C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoBest CBD for my pets!
I had a doxie and I found Innovet several years ago and ordered it for him when he was having neck problems - he was like a brand new dog. And I had 3 1/2 more years with him, until 2020 when his heart just gave out. Now my 10 year old girl has a tear in her ACL and couldn't stand, so along with her vet I turned to Innovet again (as well as water therapy) and I bought these and in just over two weeks there is a HUGE difference. I won't even look at another company for my pets CBD - I only trust Innovet!!
IPInnovet Pet2 years agoThank you for your kind words, Karen! We hear so often from pet parents just like yourself who are looking for solutions to help their furry friends through any type of ailment and we’re so thrilled that Innovet Pet has been a source of relief for your pup when they needed it most. We recognize how important it is to have a tool like ours in times of need, and always appreciate hearing feedback like yours -- it just means the world to us. :) Wishing your pup continued health and comfort well into their golden years.
- PKPrudence K.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoEmmy and CBD
Emmy, my 8 year old, has elbow dysplasia and had been on CBD Capsules for 4 years, they keep her going and I would never take them away from her. She gets 2 capsules with her first meal of the day. She also gets Salmon Oil with the same meal, along with other meds in her protocol. If I think she might have a stressful day because of unexpected routine changes, I also give her Calming Chews.
IPInnovet Pet2 years agoThank you for choosing our products!
- JMJeannine M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoHelp for our sweet old girl!
Our senior lab has really deteriorated over the past 6 months with weight loss, mobility issues, doggy dementia, etc. She was getting prescription anti inflammatories, but didn’t seem to be helping as much. We started the *** capsules about 2 months ago & she seems calmer (not barking & panting all night), comfortable, and is eating a bit more. We know she will not be with us much longer and do not want her to suffer. We have noticed a difference with the addition of the ***, 2 capsules in the morning, 1 in the afternoon, and 2 at night seems to be the right combination for now. Customer service has been 5 star! Thank you!
IPInnovet Pet2 years agoThank you for your kind words, Jeannine. We're so happy to hear that our CBD capsules are bringing some relief to your senior lab. Our team is passionate about providing the best possible experience and products for our customers and their pets, so we're glad to hear that we've been able to do that for you.

Thank you again for your support, it means the world to us!
- MSMark S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoPure *** 450mg Capsules.
One of my Golden Retrievers (Jake) started having fairly extreme Seizures when he turned 2 year's old, after a Veterinary visit & many tests it was deemed that Jake had no medical internal problems & the cause of his Seizures was probably hereditary.
Not wanting to put him on very strong Seizure medication for the rest of his life we looked for alternative natural treatments & tried many until reading the positive affects of using *** Oils to help relieve some of severe affects of Seizures in dogs, so we decided to pursue this avenue & went on the search for a reputable seller & found Innovet.
Fast forward to today Jake is 9 years old & has been on Innovets 450mg Hemp *** capsules for almost 2 years now, Jake has gone from having 2 - 3 fairly severe Seizures per month to now having 1 extremely mild Seizure every 4 - 5 months since being on these capsules, therfore I strongly recommend this product to any dog owner whose dog suffers from Seizures.
Thank you Innovet for making my best friends life much more enjoyable.
IPInnovet Pet2 years agoThank you for your kind words, Mark. We're glad that we could be of help to you and Jake and that you found our products to be a positive solution for him. We hope he continues to feel better and seizure-free!
