A chill is in the air, pumpkin spice has infiltrated every nook and cranny of our lives, leaves are stuck between orange and yellow, skeletons have crawled out of the attic and are taking over the neighborhood, and king-size candy bars are piling up in the pantry. Yes, spooky season is upon us. Now’s the time to trek out and find the costume your kid will love (for a block or two), trace the trick-or-treat route, scope out the scariest houses, and prepare your porch for foot traffic from elves, witches, warlocks, NASCAR drivers, and tiny little astronauts.
Now’s also the best time to prepare your doggo for the droves of candy-eager ghouls, ghosts, and goblins.
In this article, we’ll break down how CBD can help soothe your dog’s nerves, while offering a list of other wellness-backed benefits. We’ll introduce you to our suite of CBD products for dogs and show you how to introduce them into your dog’s daily routine before, during, and after All Hallow’s Eve. But first, let’s look at the scariest night of the year for most dogs.
“Dog-Gone-It, I’m Scared!”
Halloween—a nervous, worried pupper’s worst nightmare. With the endless, echoing chimes of the doorbell, sugar-fueled knocks, and frantic cries for treats sans tricks, Halloween is a tough time for dogs to stay calm, cool, and collected. Many dogs lash out, howl at the moon, bark at the parade of costumed intruders, pace around the living, or lock themselves away in a closet. While everyone else is having a hauntingly good time, most dogs are not. Thankfully, CBD can help summon their inner good boy or girl and help them conjure up as much fun as everyone else this Halloween—just don’t make them put on the costume.
How CBD Can Help
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a hemp-based cannabinoid popular for its calming, soothing, wellness-boosting benefits in humans. But thankfully, it has the same effects on dogs. Like us, dogs have an intricate network of receptors called an endocannabinoid system. This system tethers organs and other systems together, regulating essential functions like sleep, energy, appetite, mood, and more. When this system isn’t performing at its best, you may feel out of sync. That’s where CBD comes in.
Cannabinoids, like CBD, uniquely bind to these receptors, creating a cascade of wellness-boosting benefits that affect your mind and body.** CBD is non-psychoactive and is safe for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Rather, CBD promotes general wellness and a mind-body sense of calm that’s perfect for greeting three-foot aliens begging for chocolate.**
Calm the Trick-or-Treat Terrors
To calm your dog’s mind and settle their trick-or-treat terrors, we use CBD alongside a number of naturally soothing ingredients in our CBD Dog Treats: Calming Chews. Made with 20mg of broad spectrum CBD in each treat, these dog chews also feature a calming coven of ingredients, like chamomile, passion flower, and tryptophan.
Now, we realize CBD might not sound enticing to most puppers. But we’ve fine-tuned our dog-friendly formulas to pique their tastebuds, specifically with our vegan bacon-flavored CBD Oil for Dogs. This tail-waggin’ tincture is beloved by many of our customers’ puppers, especially for its lip-licking bacon flavor.
Save big on both when you order our CBD for Dogs: Calming Bundle. Here, you can spoil your doggo with the sweet potato and coconut Calming CBD Dog Treats and the 1000mg CBD Oil for Dogs!
How to Give Your Doggo CBD
If it’s your first time treating your doggo to CBD, you might not know how. Don’t worry—we’ve made our suite of CBD dog treats and tinctures easy to use, letting you spoil your dog daily or on special, spooky occasions.
CBD Dog Treats
Packed with multiple nutrients and all-natural ingredients, our CBD Dog Treats are formulated to bring a wealth of wellness benefits to your dog in the form of hard or soft chew options. These treats, with their multifaceted formulas, can help settle your dog’s nerves, soothe their hips and joints, or promote a healthy, shiny coat—one that’s ready for pets, pats, and paws come Halloween night.
Here is a helpful chart to break down our collection of CBD Dog Chews.
| Type of CBDfx Dog Treat | Active Ingredients | Best for … |
| Calming Chews | Chamomile, passion flower, tryptophan & melatonin (in soft chew formula) | Settling their trick-or-treat terrors. |
| Hip & Joint Chews | Turmeric, glucosamine & chondroitin | Getting their joints ready for the Monster Mash. |
| Skin Health Chews | Omega-3, yucca, biotin, fish oil, EPA & aloe vera | Prepping their coat for the costume party. |
CBD Oil Tinctures for Dogs
While our CBD Dog Treats come with a fixed dose of broad spectrum CBD, our CBD Pet Tinctures let you customize your dog’s preferred dose, depending on their size or tolerance. We’ve already mentioned our bacon-flavored CBD Oil for Dogs, but we also cater to even the pickiest puppers with our vegan chicken-flavored CBD Dog Tincture. Made with the same human-grade, all-natural formula as our other CBD dog tincture, this chicken-flavored CBD Oil for Dogs offers a little lip-lickin’ variety to your dog’s daily wellness routine.
To use either tincture, just fill the dropper with a measured amount of CBD oil, and soon, you’ll have a doggo lurking around the corner, eyes wide, ready for a delicious treat. Just add the oil to your dog’s kibble or let them lick it straight from the plastic, shatter-proof dropper.
| CBD Oil for Dogs | Size of Dog* |
| 250mg | Up to 20 lbs. |
| 500mg | 20—60 lbs. |
| 1000mg | >60 lbs. |
| 2000mg | >100 lbs. |
*Or, as recommended by your veterinarian.
