The best (and most cost effective) way to administer CBD is directly on to the gums. This method works best because the tincture is absorbed through the mucous membrane in the mouth and the CBD then goes directly into the bloodstream for a more efficient and faster delivery.
You can also apply the tincture on food. Putting the oil on food will take longer to show effect and are generally less effective. This is because they must go all the way through the digestive tract and filtration processes like the first pass of the liver. This results in less of the medicine reaching the parts of the body where your pet needs it most.
If you are unable to get your pet to take a tincture orally, or on their food, try applying your tincture to the soft skin of your dog or cat’s inner ear. This is the least bioavailable option and will also take the longest to reach the bloodstream. We recommend you apply the oil to your finger and rub it into the area where the fur stops growing.
