Everything you actually need to know about CBD for dogs, in plain English. No woo, no overpromising, no jargon.
CBD (cannabidiol) is one of more than a hundred naturally occurring compounds found in the hemp plant. It's not psychoactive. Your dog won't get high. It won't make them loopy. It's a wellness compound, not a sedative.
Hemp-derived CBD became federally legal in the U.S. with the 2018 Farm Bill, and it's now one of the fastest-growing categories in pet wellness, used by millions of pet parents to support calm, comfort, and everyday balance.
The CBD in every Maisy's biscuit is hemp-derived and contains less than 0.3% THC, the legal threshold for hemp products.
No. CBD is not psychoactive. Our products contain less than 0.3% THC (the compound that causes a high), well below any threshold that would affect your dog's behavior or awareness. Your pup stays themselves, just more relaxed.
CBD has a strong safety profile in dogs when properly dosed and sourced. The ingredients in Maisy's are food-grade and dosing is calibrated for canine size. As with any supplement, consult your veterinarian if your dog is on medication or has a chronic condition.
For acute moments (a thunderstorm, fireworks, a long car ride), most pet parents notice settled behavior within 30 to 60 minutes. For ongoing support like joint comfort or daily calm, give it a couple weeks of consistent daily use to see the full effect.
Your dog enjoys a tasty biscuit. Their digestive system gets to work breaking it down.
CBD reaches peak absorption in the bloodstream. You'll often notice a calmer, more settled pup.
Effects sustain for several hours. Great for storms, travel, or stressful events when timed right.
For ongoing support like joint or gut, daily use lets the benefits compound. Patience pays off.
