Starting a new wellness routine for your dog often comes with questions. This guide walks through what to expect, how to get started, and when additional support may be useful. We also recommend consulting your veterinarian before introducing any new product.
When to Start
When you choose to begin using a VetCS product depends on your dog’s individual needs. For VetCS CBD tinctures, we recommend starting with the week one dose listed on the dosing guide on the back of the bottle. For other products, such as CBD treats and chews, dosing guidance is provided on the package based on your dog’s weight. If you’re unsure where to begin, our team can help point you in the right direction.
What to Expect in the First Week
Every dog is different, and results can vary depending on individual needs. Some dogs may show changes early on, while others may take more time. Consistent daily use is important, and many pet parents begin to notice positive changes within the first one to two weeks.
If your dog is picky or has a sensitive appetite, tinctures can be given on a favorite treat to make daily use easier. Twice daily use is particularly important during the initial period.
Consistency Matters
Administering your VetCS product at the same time twice daily supports a more predictable response and makes it easier to monitor changes in behavior, comfort, appetite, or mobility. Establishing a consistent routine helps you better observe changes and understand what’s working for your dog. If you have questions about timing or are considering adjustments, additional guidance is available.
Common Questions
Can I use VetCS products alongside other medications my dog is taking? We recommend consulting your veterinarian before introducing any new product, especially if your dog is currently taking medications. This helps ensure any new additions fit safely into your dog’s overall care plan.
How do I choose the right dose for my dog? Dosing guidance is provided on the product packaging and is based on your dog’s weight. Starting with the week one dose allows you to observe how your dog responds before making gradual adjustments. Twice daily dosing is recommended for continuous support of chronic conditions.
How long should I wait before adjusting the dose? Allow at least 5 to 7 days at each dose level before making changes. This gives your dog time to respond and helps you better evaluate progress before adjusting.
When to Reach Out
If you have questions along the way or feel unsure about what you’re seeing, it’s okay to seek additional guidance. Changes can take time, and every dog responds differently. If something doesn’t feel right or you’d like help thinking through next steps, reaching out for support can be a helpful part of the process.
