CBD Calming Chews for Cats

HolistaPet’s CBD Calming Chews for Cats contains natural ingredients and is 100% vet-approved. Each of these calming cat chews is made up of many beneficial ingredients that help support your cat’s overall wellness. The calming formula of these calming treats for cats comes from these ingredients:

• CBD: This non-toxic, non-inebriating cannabinoid is perfectly safe to give your cat. CBD has many positive benefits that can provide your cat with a higher quality of life. Our CBD products at HolistaPet are made from the finest quality hemp from the top farms across the country and have been third-party lab tested for quality and effectiveness.
• Valerian Root: A homeopathic plant native to Europe and Asia, Valerian Root has been traditionally used to treat those struggling with getting proper sleep. This cat-calming ingredient is added to help combat anxiousness and irritability among cats and other animals.
• L-Tryptophan: L-tryptophan is a natural amino acid found in proteins that can help aggressive or restless cats. This amino acid can stimulate the production of serotonin, which can help stabilize moods and behaviors!
• Catnip: Catnip is famous in the cat world because it provides mental stimulation, enhances a cat’s mood, and provides energy. It contains a key chemical called nepetalactone that stimulates the brain and drunk-like effects in your cat. Don’t worry because there are no ill effects from catnip, and there is no risk of addiction!
• Taurine: Taurine is another essential amino acid that can help a cat’s digestive system. It can also help maintain a healthy vision and immune system. Since cats do not produce enough taurine, adding it into our CBD calming treats makes it an essential ingredient to help improve your cat’s wellness.

It can be challenging to determine how many doses or milligrams are required for each cat. It can be even more difficult since the FDA does not have a standardized recommended dosage list.

HolistaPet generally recommends between 0.25mg (regular dose) to 0.5 mg (strong dose) of CBD for every 1 pound of bodyweight. Fortunately for those who struggle with math or want a more precise dosage amount, Holistapet has a dosage chart and calculator that can assist with finding the proper dosage for your furry friend.

Giving your feline CBD cat calming treats is simple enough, as they should readily gobble them up when given a chance! And can you blame them? Our CBD calming treats come packed with a savory salmon flavor that they’ll love. But what is the best method for giving your cat these delicious calming aids? Luckily, we have a simple useful method for breaking down how to use them to their fullest potential to keep your cat calm.

When starting your cat on CBD, we always recommend a simple method to ensure you do not give them too much. Start with a low amount and, if necessary, increase the amount in small amounts until you reach an amount that’s right for them. If you decide to give them more, you must wait the appropriate amount of time for the previous dose to take effect. This is important for ensuring that you do not give your cat more CBD before the initial dose has fully set in. 

CBD calming treats for cats come predosed, so finding the correct amount to give your cat and giving them that amount should be a breeze once you get the hang of it! Here’s a breakdown of our CBD soft chews:

• 75 Soft Chews Per Jar
• 2mg of CBD Per Chew
• 150mg Total CBD Per Jar

How Much CBD Should I Give My Cat?

Determining how much CBD you should give your cat isn’t hard. All you need is a calculator and your cat’s weight. Use the handy formulas below to determine your cat’s regular and strong amount of CBD. 

• Regular Amount of CBD = (Your cat’s weight in pounds) x (0.25 mg CBD)

Example: If your cat weighs 15 pounds, multiply their weight by 0.25 mg CBD to get 3.75 mg CBD. This is your cat’s regular amount. (15 lbs x 0.25 mg CBD = 3.75 mg CBD) 

• Strong Amount of CBD = (Your cat’s weight in pounds) x (0.50 mg CBD)

Example: If your cat weighs 15 pounds, multiply their weight by 0.50 mg CBD to get 7.5 mg CBD. This is your cat’s strong amount. (15 lbs x 0.50 mg CBD = 7.5 mg CBD)

Keep in mind that these numbers are not absolute. They represent estimates of how much CBD your cat can handle per day and within a certain range. As mentioned before, you will want to start at the lowest possible amount and then gradually work your way up until your cat reaches an amount that’s right for them. 

You can give your cat calming treats any time. CBD infused calming treats for cats are well tolerated and should provide soothing effects to your cat without interfering with their daily activities. Because of this, our CBD products for cats are great for daily consumption but can also be particularly useful during specific situations. As their name implies, our calming cat treats are great for keeping your cat relaxed during stressful situations, like vet visits, traveling long distances, or loud noises coming from thunderstorms and other outdoor events.

To effectively help your cat through these situations and prevent them from running off and hiding in their litter box, pet parents should feed calming cat treats to their feline roughly 30 minutes to 60 minutes before the stressful event. If you want our chews to promote calming effects throughout the day, try giving your cat one chew in the morning and, if necessary, another serving eight hours later. This will give them relieving effects that should last throughout the day and ease your cat into relaxed behavior, perfect for the afternoon wind-down.

Yes, you can give your cat CBD daily! One of the things we love about CBD is that it is well tolerated by animals and humans alike. Administering CBD daily can be useful for calming hyper or overly aggressive cats.  

In addition, daily administration of CBD may also provide additional benefits to your feline friend! Giving your cat CBD daily may help increase their overall wellness by encouraging a state of greater equilibrium in the body. It may also cultivate a more consistent state of wellness with long-term benefits. When coupled with other beneficial ingredients mentioned previously, CBD can help your cat stay calm all day long.

After eating a few of these delicious calming soft chews, it generally takes about 30 minutes to an hour for the effects to kick in. However, the time it takes for the calming chews to take effect can depend on your cat’s size, dosage amount, and metabolism. Pets that have taken CBD previously may need a higher dose for the effects to start working.

After giving their cat CBD calming treats, owners should monitor them and observe any changes in behavior. If your cat is stressed, you can tell the CBD is working if they start to mellow out and calm down.

How Long Do The Effects Of CBD Last?

The effects from CBD can last anywhere from 4 to 6 hours. However, this is dependent on the health issue the cat is experiencing or their tolerance level. A cat that has taken CBD previously will probably have a higher tolerance than one new to it. You may need to provide stronger doses to keep the sustained effects of CBD. It might be helpful to keep a written record of the dosages given to your pet to determine whether or not to give them more or less.

Do Calming Chews Go Bad?

CBD calming chews for cats are good for up to two years after you crack open the seal on a new jar. Because CBD is a compound derived from the hemp plant, it doesn’t last forever and comes with an expiration date. But you don’t have to worry about your CBD going bad like you might for your weekly groceries! Generally speaking, CBD products can last up to two years when stored properly. 

Two years is a long time. But when it comes to our calming chews, we are sure your cat will enjoy them so much that you’ll have to replenish your supply in a month or two!

To ensure your cat calming treats remain fresh, we recommend keeping your product away from sunlight, heat, or places with fluctuating temperatures. To ensure your product is as fresh as possible, we recommend keeping the package securely closed to keep air out. Too much exposure to air can lead to the product losing its freshness and going stale, or if left out for multiple hours, it may simply go bad.

How To Store Calming Chews

It would be best if you kept calming chews for cats away from the elements like heat, air, and direct sunlight. But other than these obvious storage preferences, you might still wonder where the best places to store our treats are! Luckily, you don’t need a specialized cellar to store our CBD calming chews for cats. You can store them in most indoor spaces. Medicine cabinets, dressers, and closed drawers are all great places to put CBD products, as these locations are dark and out of sight. 

Because you want to keep your CBD products away from your kids (and your cat, too!) when you store them, it is also important you make sure that they are not easily reachable. To protect your CBD products from prying paws, try to put them somewhere not easily accessible by children or pets, such as the top shelf of a wall cabinet. Hiding your chews in a secret place or somewhere not easily accessed by others is a good way to keep them fresh, safe, and tamper-free.

Additional Benefits

As previously mentioned, these bite-size soft treats are accessible for all breeds of cats to digest. Their soft, chew textures allow older cats or cats with dental issues to chew on them safely. They are easy for felines to eat without worrying about it being a choking hazard.

The extra nutrients will provide a boost to your cat. The pre-portioned sizes make it easier to find the correct dose. The treats also come in a tasty salmon favor, one of the most popular flavors for cats.

Are CBD Calming Chews Legal?

Yes, our CBD calming treats are legal in the United States because they are 100% Farm Bill compliant! The 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized hemp and hemp-derived products (i.e., CBD products). The Farm Bill did this by creating a definition for hemp separate from marijuana, a cannabis plant that many erroneously confuse with hemp. 

Under the Farm Bill, hemp is defined as a cannabis plant that contains 0.3% or less THC by dry weight. Marijuana, on the other hand, is defined as a cannabis plant containing more than 0.3% THC by dry weight. Our CBD calming chews contain broad spectrum CBD, meaning that it does not contain THC.

If you are looking for the best online source for pet products made with natural ingredients and the highest quality hemp around, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better option than Holistapet! Shopping at Holistapet gives you the benefit of working with a team of hemp specialists able to provide products of a quality not seen elsewhere.
