How does my pet need?
First, find out how much your pet weighs. Dosing with CBD depends on several factors, including metabolism, tolerance, the condition being treated, its severity, and your pet's individual body chemistry. Every pet is different, so you'll need to find what works best for your pet. A great place to start is by dosing according to weight using our easy dosing charts.
Start Low
Begin with half of the regular dose (if possible) for the first 3–4 days, then gradually increase to the regular dose. Giving too much too quickly may cause stomach upset, nausea, or diarrhea.
Be Consistent
Give CBD daily for the best results. Regular use allows CBD to build up in your pet's system, and it may take 2–4 weeks before you notice the full benefits. If you're not seeing results after 3–4 weeks, gradually increase to a stronger dose.
For Ongoing Conditions
For arthritis, chronic pain, skin conditions, seizures, and other long-term concerns, daily dosing works best. Splitting the dose between morning and evening often provides more consistent support.
For Occasional Needs
For situations such as grooming appointments, thunderstorms, or travel anxiety, CBD can be given as needed after the initial build-up phase. If your pet hasn't taken CBD for a while, several days of consistent dosing may help restore its effects. For situational anxiety, CBD typically begins working within 30 minutes, although it can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on your pet's metabolism.
Need More Help?
If you're still not seeing results, please contact us at info@SerenityBowWow.com . We'll be happy to assess your pet's situation and offer personalized dosing tips. Sometimes people stop before the benefits have had a chance to appear, so it's worth giving CBD a fair opportunity to work.

Possible Side Effects:
CBD can interact with blood thinners, SSRIs, and some other medications. Talk to your veterinarian before giving CBD to your pet. Our treats are not recommended for dogs with pancreatitis. Although CBD itself may be beneficial for this condition, the ingredients in our biscuits and oil bottles may not be suitable.
CBD itself is non-addictive and carries no risk of overdose, nor does it cause withdrawal symptoms. Overconsumption may cause nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting.
Dry Mouth
Keep an eye on your dog's water bowl, as they may drink more water than usual.
Loose Stool
This can be common when first introducing CBD. It should improve over time. If it continues, reduce the dosage and increase it more gradually.
Diarrhea
If diarrhea occurs, reduce the dosage before slowly increasing it again, or discontinue CBD use if necessary.
Drowsiness
If your dog becomes drowsy, they may be more sensitive to CBD. Reduce the dosage. Mild drowsiness is generally safe and simply means your dog is more relaxed, but excessive sleepiness that affects normal eating or play indicates the dose is too high. The goal is calm-not couch potato!
Lowered Blood Pressure
CBD may temporarily lower blood pressure, particularly at higher doses. This can cause light-headedness or dizziness. Lowering the dose usually resolves the issue.
Nausea / Upset Stomach
Introducing any new supplement can occasionally cause stomach upset. Start with a low dose and increase gradually.
Increased Appetite
Don't be surprised if your dog suddenly seems extra interested in food after taking CBD.
Liver Health
Dogs with pre-existing liver conditions should be monitored by a veterinarian, as CBD can occasionally cause a temporary increase in liver enzyme levels.

Mushroom Dosing
It’s important to be consistent and give daily for best results! As with any new supplement, consult your vet before administering, especially if your pet has a serious health condition or is on other medication. Safe to combine with our CBD.
For convenience, this chart uses 250 mg increments to align with our pre-measured droppers. While the dosage may not be exact for every weight, it falls within a safe and effective range for most dogs. These are gentle, well-tolerated mushrooms, and slight variations in daily intake are generally not a concern.
Turkey Tail Mushroom
100 ml Bottle
1 ml=1 g
Start at a half dose in the first few days.
For dogs with cancer, serious or chronic health conditions, use double the regular dose and consult your vet. Administer the Turkey Tail tincture ideally with their first meal of the day for optimal absorption. Give directly by mouth, under the tongue if possible. It has a bitter taste, so following it with their food helps! Consistency is key. If giving a higher dose, consider splitting into two half doses to help effects last throughout the day.
