📏 Lilly’s Crash Course on Calming Doses

Your quick-start guide for supporting pets through fireworks season (and beyond!)

When it comes to calming, consistency and timing matter just as much as what you’re giving. Whether you’ve got a nervous pup or a firework-fearing feline, here’s a simple guide on how much to give and when.

💚 How much CBD should I give?

For dogs:
Start with 2 mg of CBD per 10 lbs of body weight per dose

  • 🐶 A 15-20 lb pup would start with ¼ of a No More Wiggles chew while a 60–70 lb dog would start with 1 full No More Wiggles chew

For cats:
Start with 3 mg of CBD per 10 lbs of body weight per dose

  • 🐱 The starter dose for a 15 lb cat would be ½ dropper of the 300mg Everyday Wellness oil, mixed with food or a favorite treat (Skip the dropper-in-the-mouth method unless absolutely necessary, cats have long memories, and we want them trusting you right now!)

Quick heads-up:These examples are based on our most popular product strengths, but the exact number of chews or amount of oil you’ll use depends on what you’ve got at home. Just check your label for how much CBD is in each chew or dropper and adjust as needed.

🕒 How often should I give it?

Most days:
Start with twice-daily doses, spaced about 6-8 hours apart, morning and evening usually works well for steady support.

During peak stress times (like fireworks season):
You can increase to every 4-6 hours (or more) for extra coverage.
The key is staying ahead of the stress, not waiting for your pet to start panicking.

💜 Pro Tips from Lilly:

  • It’s safe to give more if your pet needs extra help. There’s no risk of overdose with CBD, don’t be afraid to meet them where they’re at.
  • Start 2-3 days in advance to help their system settle into a calm rhythm. Waiting until they’re already shaking isn’t nearly as effective.
  • Pair it with calming routines like treat puzzle toys or lickimats to support the whole nervous system.

Whether your pet’s pacing, panting, hiding, or just a little uneasy, a well-timed dose can help them feel safe, steady, and supported.
