Method and limits
Published veterinary work, including the canine osteoarthritis trials, studies doses between 0.5 and 2 mg per kg per day, usually split in two. Feline data is thinner, which is why the tool keeps cats on the lower band. Drops are computed at 20 drops per ml.
The French framework puts the veterinarian at the centre: indication, dose and follow-up. Our guides CBD for dogs, the veterinary framework and CBD for cats detail it.
