CBD for pets report

You’re far more likely to find a high-quality CBD product today than several years ago. But there’s still room to improve. One lingering problem is that many products don’t contain the correct amount of CBD.

We discovered as much by sending dozens of CBD products for independent testing at Canalysis Laboratories, a Las Vegas-based cannabis testing lab. So far, we’ve done in-depth investigations of CBD oils, drinks, edibles, and topicals.

In this report, we’re going to look at CBD pet products, a category that’s been steadily growing in popularity. We sent 55 pet products to be independently tested for their cannabinoid content. Here’s what we found.

Note: We’ve also reported on CBD prices to help you get a good deal and save money.

Summary

CBD for pets report

In total, only 24 of the 55 products we tested (44%) contained the advertised amount of CBD. The rest were off by anywhere from 10.2% to 98.5% from the label.

That’s probably because pet products include multiple product categories. They also contain smaller amounts of CBD, making it more difficult to maintain consistency.

Here’s a look at the key findings:

  • 56% (31) of the tested products had CBD levels that differ from the label by more than the acceptable 10% variance.
  • Most of the products (58%) had more CBD than advertised
  • Pet edibles and topicals are usually less accurate than oils and tinctures
  • Despite scoring well for tinctures, many companies received a poor score for their edible pet products
  • 22 of the tested products had no THC, despite companies claiming they contained full-spectrum CBD (take into account some veterinarians don’t recommend any THC in pet products)
  • 24 (44%) of the tested products had CBD levels within 10% of the label, which is required for an A rating

Take a look at our buying guides

With such a wide variety of available CBD products, it’s not always easy to make a choice and find the right product for your needs.

Therefore, we examined dozens of brands, comparing their prices, third-party testing results, potency, hemp quality, and other factors.

We researched CBD products for different consumption methods and for different health conditions to help you find the most suitable ones.

  • Best CBD oil – We chose these CBD oils from a list of over 3000 CBD products and 150 brands, comparing them by third-party lab test results, hemp quality, reputation, price, and other criteria.

  • Best CBD gummies – Because there are so many CBD gummies out there, it can be difficult to figure out which product is suitable for your needs. We’ve compiled a list of some of the finest CBD gummies on the market. For those seeking a sleeping aid, we have also compiled a comprehensive list of the best CBD gummies for sleep. We did the same for the best CBD gummies for pain.

  • Best CBD capsules – One popular delivery system is CBD capsules and softgels. These are used like any other capsule or softgel, which makes it a simple, convenient way to take CBD

  • Best CBD for dogs & cats – There are a wide range of CBD products for pets out there, from tinctures and treats to balms, salves, and creams. Because interest in CBD has increased, more companies are creating pet-specific CBD items, which means we’re spoiled for choice. If you’re shopping for CBD pet products, you might be overwhelmed by all the choices out there

  • Best CBD for pain – Many people use CBD products for pain relief. This isn’t surprising as research has shown that CBD can help with various types of pain. As part of our research, we compared dozens of CBD products in order to determine the most effective ones for treating pain. We also created a list of the Best CBD for Arthritis.

  • Best CBD for anxiety – Our team of medical doctors, nutritionists, and other health experts chose these products based on their quality, transparency, price, and other criteria. For example, all of the products we recommend are tested by a third party lab to verify their potency and safety.

  • Best CBD for sleep – However, the wide variety of available CBD products can be overwhelming. That’s why we researched and compared dozens of brands to find the best CBD ones for sleep.

  • Best full spectrum CBD oil – Full-spectrum CBD is a whole-plant hemp extract. It contains the complete range of cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and potentially other compounds naturally present in hemp. We used our database to compare hundreds of CBD oils based on objective criteria. In this post, we’ll review the most effective full-spectrum CBD tinctures that we found.

Accuracy Rating

We measured the accuracy of CBD pet products by comparing how much CBD they should have to the amount shown on the third-party lab test reports.

While some variation is expected from a natural product like hemp-derived CBD, it should still be within reasonable levels. Industry experts recommend that cannabis products should contain cannabinoid levels that are within 10% of the advertised amount.

In other words, CBD products should contain anywhere from 90% to 110% of the amount stated on the label to be considered accurate.

Using this 10% cutoff, we assigned CBD pet products one of four ratings to represent their accuracy:

  1. A (Excellent): independent lab tests showed CBD levels that were within 10% of what was stated on the label.
  2. B (Decent): independent lab tests showed CBD levels that were within 20% of the label.
  3. C (Poor): independent lab tests showed CBD levels that were within 30% of the label.
  4. F (Fail): independent lab tests showed CBD levels that differed from the label by more than 30%.

Third-Party Testing Explained

Third-party tests are done by an independent lab to confirm the safety and potency of a CBD product.

These tests are important when shopping for CBD because some products have incorrect CBD levels or carry contaminants.

The most important third-party test is called a cannabinoid profile or potency test. It measures the amount of CBD and other cannabinoids in a product.

This is the test we order for our independent reports. Verifying the potency of a CBD product is important for several reasons:

  • You want to know you’re getting exactly what you paid for
  • A product with less CBD than claimed will be less effective
  • A product with more CBD than claimed will make it harder to figure out your dosage

Certificate of Analysis (CoA)

We bought 55 CBD pet products and sent them to the cannabis testing lab Canalysis, located in Las Vegas. The lab technicians tested the products and recorded the results in documents called certificates of analysis (CoAs).

Next, we compared the amount of CBD shown on the CoAs to the advertised CBD content of each product. We also looked at what other cannabinoids were detected by the tests.

To give you an example, if a company sold a pet CBD oil that should contain 300 mg of CBD but the tests only showed 200 mg, that means it contained 33% less CBD than claimed.

This poor result would receive our F rating since you’d be getting much less CBD than you paid for.

How to Read CoAs

Most CBD companies publish third-party CoAs directly on their website. This way, it’s easy for you to confirm that a CBD product is safe, reliable, and effective before buying it.

Reading a CoA may seem difficult because of the scientific jargon and abbreviations, but it’s not that complicated. The main thing to look for is the section called “cannabinoids,” “cannabinoid profile,” “potency,” or something similar.

Here, you’ll see columns and graphs with names of cannabinoids such as CBD, THC, and others, and their amounts in percentages or milligrams (mg) per milliliter (ml), gram, serving, unit, or the whole container.

If you want more info on reading CoAs, check out our detailed guide.

Summary Table

Below is the summary of the test results for the 55 pet products we sent to Canalysis. Most of these were CBD oils but there were also many edibles and some topical products.

Note that products with a minus sign under the variance column contained less CBD than stated on the label, while others had more.

Check out our list of the best CBD pet products, based on criteria such as price, company reputation, and customer service.

Disclaimer: Our report is based solely on the test findings. Test results may vary due to the natural variation of CBD levels in hemp, degradation of CBD and other cannabinoids over time, and other factors. Our findings should not be seen as conclusive, complete, error-free, or at all times methodologically or scientifically accurate.

Conclusion

Most of the products we sent for testing (56%) had inaccurate CBD levels. Despite this, the most common rating was an A, awarded to products that contained within 10% of the labeled CBD amount.

Out of 55 tested products, 24 (44%) got an A, 12 (22%) got a B, 4 (7%) got a C, and 15 (27%) received the worst F rating.

Compared to our previous reports, these findings suggest that CBD pet products are more accurate than CBD edibles, topicals, and drinks, but not as accurate as regular CBD oil tinctures.

We weren’t too surprised by these results because pet products include multiple categories, including CBD oils, edibles, and topicals.

Whereas pet CBD oils performed quite well, edibles and topicals had relatively poor results and dragged down the overall accuracy of CBD pet products.

For example, many companies got an A for their pet CBD oil but scored a C or an F for their edible and topical products.

That’s to be expected as edibles and topicals are more difficult to formulate. They also use smaller amounts of CBD, which means that being off by even a few milligrams can lead to a big difference in accuracy.

Another interesting finding was that all 22 products that were claimed to contain full-spectrum CBD had no detectable THC. Full-spectrum hemp extract should contain small amounts (0.3% or less) of THC. Although it’s important to notice some veterinarians don’t recommend any THC in pet products. However, that doesn’t mean labeling a product as full-spectrum and selling it without any THC is ok.

Instead, most of them used broad-spectrum CBD, which is the same as full-spectrum but with THC removed. The most likely explanation is that many CBD brands simply made a mistake in describing their products.

To sum up, if you want to buy a high-quality CBD product for your pet, it’s best to go with a CBD oil from a reputable brand and check the third-party lab tests beforehand to verify the levels of CBD and THC.

Austin and Kat is a pet-focused CBD brand, so we had high expectations from their products. We tested the company’s dog hemp chews, which should contain 2.5 mg of CBD per piece.

Bluebird Botanicals is another well-known brand. We examined its low-strength pet CBD oil, which should have 84 mg of CBD but really had 94.5 mg.

That’s 12.5% higher than the label, which is a bit higher than the 10% cutoff required for an A, so we gave it a B rating. Still, that’s not a bad result as the amount of CBD in this product is low, so a few milligrams can make a big difference.

The test results also showed two minor cannabinoids but zero THC, which should be present in a full-spectrum CBD product.

Hempland USA Cannabitol Drops B 350 417.900 19.40

Hempland USA is not the biggest brand out there but what does that mean for its product accuracy?

We looked at the company’s cannabitol drops, which should provide 350 mg of CBD but actually had 417.9 mg, which is 19.4% higher.

While it’s better to get more CBD rather than less, this result is not accurate enough for our best rating so it gets a B.

They should have 10 mg of CBD per piece and the tests showed an actual amount of 7 mg, which is almost 30% less.

While we can give CBD Essence some leeway because of the small amount of CBD per treat, this result is not that great and barely falls into our C rating.

The tests also found two minor cannabinoids but no THC, which should be present in a full-spectrum CBD product.

Florida’s Green Roads is one of the giants of the CBD industry. We looked at its CBD oil for small dogs, which should have 60 mg of CBD. Our tests found 46.7 mg, which is 22.3% less.

Although we can cut the company some slack because this low potency makes it harder to maintain accurate CBD levels, the result is not that great and falls under our C rating.

The tests also found small amounts of the minor cannabinoid CBG.

The results matched our expectations — the third-party tests detected a total of 24.03 mg of CBD versus the advertised amount of 20 mg, which is 20.1% more.

That’s not a bad result because even a difference of a few milligrams can result in a big change with such low product potency.

The tests also found many minor cannabinoids but no THC, which should be present in a full-spectrum hemp product.
