Primary Uses of CBD for Dachshunds

Supporting Comfort & Mobility

That iconic long back and short legs give Dachshunds their charm, but they also add extra strain as the years go by. Jumping on the couch, running up stairs, or simply playing with boundless energy can take a toll. CBD helps support comfort and mobility so your pup can keep enjoying walks, playtime, and those long, cozy cuddles without missing a beat.

Promoting Calm During Stressful Situations

Dachshunds were bred to be fearless hunters, and that bold streak is still alive today. Sometimes, though, it shows up as stress, especially with thunderstorms, travel, vet visits, or time apart from their favorite person. CBD’s gentle balancing effect helps smooth out those edges, keeping your dog calm while maintaining their charm and alertness.

Helping with Weight Management Support

Because of their unique build, even a few extra pounds can put added stress on a Dachshund’s back and legs. While CBD isn’t a weight-loss tool, it can support overall wellness, making it easier to stick to healthy routines with diet and exercise. Think of it as part of the bigger picture that helps keep your little one fit and feeling good.

Supporting Overall Wellness & Balance

Many Dachshund owners use CBD simply to keep their pups balanced day to day. It can support sleep, appetite, and overall comfort, creating a foundation of steady well-being. For such a bold, loving breed, that extra layer of support helps them feel their best while staying true to the big personality packed into their small frame.

Travel days can be especially tough for dogs who'd rather stay close to their favorite person, but there are gentle ways to help them feel more settled during necessary trips.

CBD Dosage Guidelines for Dachshunds

Recommended Starting Doses

For dogs in the 25 to 50 lbs range, a good starting or maintenance dose is 5 mg of CBD twice daily (10 mg per day total). However, most Dachshunds weigh significantly less than this range, with miniature Dachshunds typically weighing 11 pounds or under, and standard Dachshunds usually ranging from 16–32 pounds.

For smaller Dachshunds (under 20 pounds), start with 2.5 twice daily (5 mg per day total). Give your Dachshund at least a week on the starting dose before making any adjustments. 

Administration Tips for This Breed

Dachshunds can sometimes be particular about new things, so introducing CBD should be done gradually and positively. Most CBD oils can be mixed into food or given directly, though many Dachshund owners find success mixing it into a small amount of their dog's favorite treat or food.

Soft chews can work well for treat-motivated Dachshunds, and they often make dosing easier since they can be broken into smaller pieces for precise measurement. The key is making CBD administration a positive experience so it becomes part of your dog's normal routine.

Making CBD part of your dog's routine becomes much easier when you work with their natural love of treats rather than against their cautious nature.

Best CBD Options for Dachshunds

What to Look for in Quality CBD Products

For Dachshunds, quality matters immensely. Look for products specifically formulated for pets with clear labeling and precise dosing capabilities. The best options come from companies that use gentle extraction methods, source from trusted hemp farms, and provide comprehensive third-party lab testing results.

For example, at Bailey's CBD, we use subcritical CO₂ extraction at the only lab of its kind in the United States, located right here in Boulder, Colorado. This gentle process keeps all the beneficial plant compounds intact without harsh solvents. 

Our hemp comes from a single USDA organic farm in Boulder, and every batch gets Department of Health licensing plus rigorous third-party testing for pesticides and heavy metals. It's the kind of clean, consistent quality your Dachshund deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's the right CBD dose for my Dachshund based on their size? 

For dogs in the 25 to 50 lbs range, a good starting or maintenance dose is 5 mg of CBD twice daily (10 mg per day total). Since most Dachshunds weigh less, start with 2–3 mg twice daily for dogs under 20 pounds, and 3–4 mg twice daily for standard Dachshunds (20–32 pounds). Always adjust based on your individual dog's response.

Can CBD help support my Dachshund's back comfort as they age? 

CBD may help support comfort and mobility as part of a comprehensive wellness approach. While CBD supports the body's natural balance, it's important to combine it with appropriate exercise, weight management, and regular veterinary care for optimal support of your Dachshund's unique physical needs.

Is CBD safe for senior Dachshunds? 

CBD is generally well-tolerated by senior dogs, but older Dachshunds may be more sensitive to new supplements. Start with the lowest recommended dose and consult your veterinarian, especially if your senior Dachshund takes medications or has age-related health considerations.

Can I give my Dachshund CBD before potentially stressful situations? 

Many pet owners find CBD helpful for supporting calm during anticipated stressful events. Consider giving CBD about 30–60 minutes before situations like vet visits or travel, but always discuss this approach with your veterinarian first.
