What Is CBD in Steak Cheese Hemp Treats?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural compound found in hemp plants that works with your dog’s endocannabinoid system, a network in their body that helps regulate mood, comfort, sleep, and overall wellness.
Unlike THC, which can be toxic for pets in small amounts, CBD is safe for pets when sourced from high-quality hemp (< 0.3% THC content). It doesn’t produce a “high” or any psychoactive effects.
Instead, think of CBD like a gentle helper: it supports your dog’s body where it needs balance. For example, a dog who usually gets anxious during thunderstorms might stay calmer, while a senior pup with stiff joints can move a bit easier.
When you pair it with tasty treats, it becomes a simple, stress-free way to support your dog’s day-to-day health.
We created these steak cheese hemp treats to be irresistible for dogs—steak and cheese flavors that most pups happily eat every day. Our goal was to make CBD part of your dog’s routine without any stress for you or your pet, as daily support becomes easy when your dog actually looks forward to their treats.
Each bundle pairs these steak and cheese flavored hemp treats (25+ treats, 5 mg hemp extract each) with our precision-dosed PurCBD oil for moments when your dog needs quick relief, like thunderstorms, car rides, or stiff mornings. We also offer a triple-treats pack if you don’t want the oil. Here’s how they break down:
- Starter Bundle: 250 mg oil + treats (small dogs, new to CBD)
- Standard Bundle: 750 mg oil + treats (large dogs, moderate needs)
- Advanced Bundle: 1,500 mg oil + treats (huge dogs, established use)
- Premium Bundle: 3,000 mg oil + treats (giant breeds, multiple conditions)
- Maximum Bundle: 6,000 mg oil + treats (giant breeds, severe conditions)
- Triple Treats Pack: 3 treat bags (75+ treats)
We formulated these for our own pets first. Every batch meets pharmaceutical-grade standards, so you know it’s a safe, consistent product your dog will actually take. Full third-party lab results and certificates of analysis are available before purchase.
Dogs love routine, but life doesn’t always follow a schedule. That’s why our steak cheese hemp treats bundles work so well. The chews provide steady, daily support, while CBD oil delivers fast relief when flare-ups or stressful moments hit.
- Senior dogs, like Dallas for example, get baseline joint support from treats. When he’s having a tough morning, CBD oil kicks in to make it easier to move around.
- Dogs with predictable triggers benefit too: treats help them remain calm all day, and oil brings in relief during those sudden moments of anxiety or discomfort.
You don’t have to guess if your dog needs extra support. This system was designed to give you both steady care (treats) and immediate response tools (oil) during stressful moments.
The treats are your dog’s routine support. They’re slowly absorbed through digestion, building a steady foundation of comfort over several hours (about 25–45% bioavailability over 6–8 hours). This makes them perfect for chronic aches, everyday anxiety, or just keeping your pup feeling good day to day.
The oil is the rescue tool. When a flare-up hits or a stressful moment shows up, like fireworks or a long car ride, a few drops under the tongue bypass digestion and start working in minutes (around 60–80% bioavailability).
Together, they create what researchers call a “dual-phase response.” Treats keep steady support in place, while oil gives fast relief exactly when your dog needs it.
→ Cornell University research found that dogs receiving 2 mg per kg twice daily had noticeable improvements in comfort and quality of life. Using the treats and oil together like this makes keeping your dog comfortable all day feel simple and natural, and the flavors we settled on make this routine something your dog actually looks forward to.
Joint Health and Mobility Support
It’s tough watching your senior dog struggle to stand up after a nap or hesitate at the bottom of the stairs. Many pet parents notice that with CBD, their pups get moving more easily, return to playful behaviors, and show less stiffness in the morning.
This is because CBD interacts with receptors linked to inflammation and pain signaling. It helps reduce joint discomfort while supporting mobility.
- Dr. Joe Wakshlag’s Cornell University study backs this up; they found that giving dogs 2 mg/kg of CBD twice daily improved comfort and activity levels in dogs with joint support.
Anxiety and Stress Management
Stress can sneak up on dogs in unpredictable ways: an unfamiliar person’s presence, a fireworks show, or travel stress can have your dog pacing, whining, and trembling uncontrollably. Pet parents often see calmer behavior when CBD is part of their routine, and CBD oil makes a big difference during those sudden anxious moments.
It works with serotonin receptors in the brain, which influence mood and the body’s stress response, to help your dog feel more relaxed without sedation.
- A 2023 study from Waltham Petcare showed that a single 4 mg/kg dose of THC-free CBD reduced stress-related behaviors and cortisol levels in dogs during car travel and separation.
- Another Cornell University research found an 83% decrease in stress or anxious behaviors among dogs with itching and anxiety-related behaviors.
Recovery and Appetite Support
After illness, surgery, or even a rough day, some dogs lose interest in food. The steak and cheese flavors make treats appealing, encouraging your pet to eat, while CBD helps support their digestive comfort and soothe nausea or stomach upset by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in the gut.
This combination helps your dog regain strength and return to their normal routine with fewer setbacks.
Sleep Quality and General Wellness
Restless nights don’t just affect humans. If your dog is anxious or uncomfortable, they’ll pace around, whine, or wake frequently. Parents using CBD treats and tinctures report more settled evenings. The treats provide gentle, lasting calm, and oil is available if nighttime anxiety strikes.
The result is better rest for both dogs and their families, plus overall wellness support that shows up in daily energy, appetite, and mood.
Combining CBD treats and oil doesn't have to be complicated. Most dogs achieve excellent results when you start simple and adjust as you go.
- Establish the Routine: Begin by giving your dog just one 5 mg treat each day. For many dogs, this consistent, low dose is all they need for general wellness. Do this for a week and observe how they act (energy, appetite, stiffness, sleep).
- Introduce the Oil: If your dog has a moment of acute stress or discomfort during that week, now is the time to use the oil. Give them a few drops (check your label for potency) only when needed.
- Listen to Your Dog: The goal is to use the least amount necessary to make them comfortable. You know your dog better than anyone. This bundle gives you the flexibility to listen to their needs and adjust day by day. You can't get it wrong by starting slow.
Don’t crunch the numbers: one 5 mg treat covers a chunk of the gentle baseline for small dogs (and part of it for medium/large dogs). Use treats for everyday support and reserve oil for targeted topping-up.
We include the total milligrams of CBD and total milliliters on our labels. For example, the 250 mg PurCBD oil tincture (30 ml) contains 8.33 mg of CBD per milliliter.
Always talk to your vet before starting CBD if your dog takes medication or if it’s your first time. CBD changes how the liver processes drugs, so doses of other meds might need adjusting. The most important categories are
- Anti-seizure medications
- Blood thinners
- Heart medications
- Steroids (prednisone, prednisolone)
- NSAIDs
- Pain medications (tramadol, gabapentin)
This doesn’t mean you absolutely cannot use CBD if your dog is on medications; it means you need professional guidance to use it safely.
CBD has an excellent safety profile in dogs. Even long-term studies (up to 6 months at therapeutic doses) reported no serious side effects. Still, knowing what’s normal versus what’s not helps you feel confident as you start.
Mild drowsiness, extra thirst, and better appetite are normal responses. That’s a sign CBD is doing its job. CBD is processed by the liver, so drinking more water is a natural adjustment (it’s also healthy!), and a better appetite is a welcome change, especially for stressed or recovering pups. Most pet parents will notice these signs when CBD settles in.
However, check with your vet when you notice the following signs:
- Excessive sleepiness that lasts more than 24 hour
- Loss of appetite beyond 48 hours
- Vomiting, diarrhea, or wobbly coordination
- Any sudden or concerning behavior changes
Avoid giving CBD to pregnant/nursing dogs and puppies under 12 weeks; their systems aren’t ready yet, and remember that dogs don’t “build tolerance” the way people assume. Higher doses usually just cause sleepiness without adding extra benefit.
At Innovet, maintaining your trust and your pets’ well-being is our mission. Our certificates of analysis confirm accurate CBD levels, no pesticides, heavy metals, or harmful microbes, and clean, consistent formulas you can trust.
Pet parents started exactly where you are: wondering how much CBD to give and worried about getting it wrong. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be complicated with our steak and cheese hemp treat bundles.
Start with a treat. One 5 mg chew each day is often enough to support your dog’s general wellness. This gives you a steady foundation without overwhelming their system. Watch how they do for a week; you’ll notice changes in energy, appetite, stiffness, or sleep if it’s working.
Keep the oil for those “just in case” moments. If your dog faces a thunderstorm, a tough car ride, or wakes up extra stiff one morning, a few drops of oil provide the quick relief they need.
This two-part system takes the guesswork out of CBD. Start slow, listen to your dog, and adjust as you go—you’ll quickly find the balance that works best for them. Ready to try it?
