My pet is having surgery and using CBD. What do I do?
If your pet is scheduled for a procedure requiring sedation or anesthesia, we recommend discontinuing the use of CBD products approximately 12 hours prior to the appointment. Both CBD and anesthetics can influence the central nervous system (CNS), and using them together may amplify sedative effects. To promote the safest experience possible, it’s best to avoid combining the two before surgery.
When to Resume CBD After Surgery:
CBD use can typically be resumed 12–24 hours post-surgery, once the anesthetic has fully worn off and your pet is fully alert. Many pet guardians find that full-spectrum hemp extract can offer natural support during recovery, promoting relaxation, supporting a healthy inflammatory response, and helping to maintain comfort.
We recommend starting with a small amount and adjusting gradually based on your pet’s individual response, while monitoring them closely during the recovery period.
Pro Tip:
Pairing CBD with supportive wellness formulas like Our Digest Tincture or Our Vitality Tincture may help maintain immune balance and support natural cellular resilience during the post-surgical healing process.
