Dosing pet CBD oil directly on the gum-line of your pet is important for overall effectiveness. Just like humans, pets have receptors in their mouth, which are even more sensitive than ours. When humans dose CBD, the best method is to drop the oil under our tongue and hold for 30 seconds for maximum absorption. Unfortunately, this process will not work on your pet.
As I demonstrate in the video dosing directly into their gum-line or even rubbing the inside of their cheek with it, creates for a high absorption rate. If this is not possible for you to do, we recommend having them lick it off a plate, spoon, etc. and waiting 30 min. before or after to feed.
Allowing some the cannabinoids to bypass the digestive system and liver also increases the percentage of compounds absorbed by your pet. Ultimately some of the CBD is always going to end up in the digestive tract because they swallow whatever is not absorbed through the membranes in their mouth.
