National Pet CBD Month celebrates the value of CBD for our animals.

This idea began in 2019 when the company behind Paw CBD (cbdMD) wanted pets to enjoy wellness, joy, and health, just like family members do.

It invites pet owners to learn how CBD—free of THC and tested for safety—can support a pet’s comfort and calm.

The message travels easily. It feels like a friendly chat about giving our beloved pets something that might help them feel better.

A month focused on pet wellness opens space to understand how CBD fits into a caring routine. It highlights safe options such as oils or treats made especially for dogs and cats.

It also gently advises pet lovers to choose pure, tested products and to check with a vet before starting anything new.

The tone is warm, simple, and upbeat, inviting everyone to think of CBD as one more way to comfort the creatures we cherish.

How to Celebrate National Pet CBD Month

National Pet CBD Month offers plenty of creative ways to explore safe, comforting options for pets while making their days brighter.

A Fun Way to Start

Here’s a chance to add a special touch to your pet’s life while exploring CBD’s potential benefits.

Use this month to research safe options, ask questions, and get comfortable with the basics. A little learning now can help your pet later.

Pick Vet-Approved Treats

Offer your pet a small dose of pet-safe CBD oil or treats. Talk to your vet before starting.

Choose products made just for pets, with no THC. Reliable brands post lab results online. Those details help you make a smart choice. Healthy treats can feel like a gift, but also a step toward comfort.

Bake Pet-Friendly Goodies

Mix CBD drops into a simple, healthy snack your pet will love. Pick recipes that use only pet-safe ingredients.

Avoid sugar, chocolate, or excess salt. Small servings keep things gentle. Baking together adds a personal touch to their routine. It’s also a way to control freshness and quality from start to finish.

Transform a Quiet Corner

Set up a cozy space with soft blankets. Add a soothing CBD balm or lotion for paws or skin. This can help ease tension during storms or busy days.

Keep the space away from loud sounds. Soft lighting can make it feel even more inviting. A relaxed environment supports the calming effects of CBD.

Share Stories Online

Invite fellow pet lovers to swap tips and experiences with pet CBD. Honest talks help everyone learn about safe choices.

Share what works for your furry friend, and listen to others’ ideas. This builds trust and spreads useful knowledge. Online groups or local events can keep the conversation going beyond the month.

Watch for Positive Signs

Track changes in mood, appetite, or energy after offering CBD. If you notice odd effects, pause and ask your vet.

Keep notes on dosage and timing. Those details can guide future decisions. Small improvements, like better rest, can confirm you’re on the right track.

Careful observation ensures your pet’s comfort comes first.

History of National Pet CBD Month

National Pet CBD Month began in 2019. Paw CBD, a pet wellness brand under CBDMD, launched the idea to bring attention to CBD use for animals.

They chose October to give the topic its own space on the calendar.

The focus was to help people understand how pet-safe CBD might fit into a healthy lifestyle for dogs and cats.

This observance came at a time when interest in CBD for pets was growing. Many owners were curious but unsure about what products were safe or how they might help.

Paw CBD saw an opportunity to answer those questions.

They promoted the use of lab-tested, THC-free products designed specifically for animals. The goal was not just sales, but education.

The company encouraged open discussions between owners and veterinarians. They wanted people to know that CBD is not a cure-all, but can be part of a broader care routine.

By starting a month-long focus, they gave space for learning, sharing, and safe experimentation. Over time, the event has helped more pet lovers explore CBD as one possible tool for comfort, calm, and everyday well-being.
