If you’ve ever tried to buy CBD oil, you’ll notice that there are usually two different types available: CBD isolate and full spectrum CBD oil. While these might seem like fancy marketing terms, it’s important you understand what these labels mean.

The main difference between CBD isolate and full spectrum CBD oil is that CBD isolate is purely CBD while full spectrum CBD oil contains small amounts of other cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are the ‘active ingredients’ in cannabis and hemp plants. There are over 60 known cannabinoids, and each cannabinoid affects our bodies in different ways.

Is full spectrum CBD oil better than CBD isolate? It’s hard to say. We do know that there’s something called the ‘entourage effect’ – cannabinoids seem to provide more relief for medical conditions when they’re used together.

In other words, CBD works better when other cannabinoids are present. This isn’t to say that CBD isolate isn’t effective at all, but full spectrum CBD oil is usually favored by medical professionals.

For that reason, many vets suggest you use full spectrum CBD oil instead of CBD isolate for your dog. Here’s what you need to know about full spectrum CBD oil.

What does full spectrum CBD oil contain?

Full spectrum CBD oil should contain high amounts of CBD as well as other cannabinoids, including:

  • CBN (cannabinol)
  • CBG (cannabigerol)
  • CBC (cannabichromene)
  • THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin)
  • THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)

Along with CBD, THC – the last cannabinoid on the list – is one of the more well-known cannabinoids. It has a number of health benefits and it can make you intoxicated. However, THC is usually very low in CBD oil – so low that your dog shouldn’t feel high at all. The exact amount of THC in full spectrum CBD oil depends on the brand though, so be sure to check the packaging.

Full spectrum CBD oil also contains terpenes. These are the ‘ingredients’ in hemp and cannabis that give them their smell. Terpenes also have multiple health benefits, such as stress relief and reducing pain. Full spectrum CBD oil can also contain vitamins and minerals, as well as Omega fatty acids.

The exact amount of cannabinoids and terpenes in each bottle of CBD oil will vary.

What does the ‘mg’ in CBD products mean?

The ‘mg’, or milligrams, of CBD in a bottle of oil will tell you how strong it is. Often, the packaging tells you how many milligrams there are in total as well as how many milligrams there are in a single drop.

If you’ve been prescribed CBD by a veterinarian, they should tell you how much CBD to give your dog each day. They might prescribe the dosage in droplets or in milligrams.

Remember that the amount of CBD per droplet depends on the concentration of CBD in the liquid. This amount changes per brand. Let’s say you have a 30ml bottle of oil, and it contains 1500mg of CBD. One ml of oil will contain 50mg of CBD because 1500 divided by 30 = 50. So if your veterinarian told you to give your dog 25mg of CBD when he gets anxious, use half a milliliter of tincture.

It’s important to remember that supplements aren’t regulated by the FDA or other organizations. This means that it’s possible to create supplements that don’t actually live up to their labels. So, while ‘full spectrum CBD oil’ is a label that means something, remember that not all companies label their products correctly.

To ensure you get a high-quality product, look for companies that have excellent reputations. Be sure to check out reviews online and to ask about their testing process.
