Can I give CBD to my cat?
Sure you can – we have many customers who use CBD for their cats. There’s been one study to date that we’re aware of exploring CBD ingestion safety for cats, demonstrating that cannabinoids like CBD can be administered to cats. In this study, they measured cats’ side effects to CBD, THC, and a combination of THC + CBD, and researchers documented that there were only mild side effects (higher amount of side effects in the THC group). So yes, CBD appears to have a very good safety profile for cat use.
These say “hemp chews” – is that the same thing as CBD?
Yes, these contain about 0.3mg of CBD per treat. We’ve trended towards the usage of terms ‘hemp supplement’ and ‘hemp chews’ to describe our products, even though they contain CBD, it’s a more accurate description of the properties of the hemp flower and origins of the products we use. So we describe these as both CBD cat treats and hemp chews as both terms are accurate.
How much CBD can I give my cat?
In the study mentioned above, the researchers went as high in their dosage as 30.5 mg per kilogram daily of the cat’s body weight, which equates to 135mg of CBD per day for a 10lb cat. You shouldn’t need to give your cat nearly that much, but we recommend starting with 10 – 12 treats per day – if your cat is smaller, go a little less than that or vice-versa. For a better value and higher serving for your cat, you could also consider mixing our pet CBD oil with your cat’s daily food (we find sometimes cats can be picky, however).

I have older kitties, most with special needs. They all enjoy these treats and they all seem to be a little happier thru the day.

Amazing product – my cat will only eat hard treats, and I’ve noticed a big difference in her behavior since placing these treats on her food daily.

This product is amazing! It has reduced my cat’s anxiety substantially. She was licking all her fur off and now all her fur has grown back. She is calm and happy. What a miracle cure! I’ve tried everything and is the only thing that has helped her. Thank you! Thank you!

I am so grateful for trying the Sun Med Cat Snacks with the CBD! I started purchasing them two years ago from Rippon Naturals. Our Mr. Kitty was diagnosed a couple years back with chronic kidney failure, and we almost lost him. I didn’t want to put him on some sort of chemical pills. I wanted a more natural way of helping him with his pain. He’s a pretty big cat so I give him 4-5 pieces three times a day. This has increased his water intake and decreased his pain. He’s more active, plays with his toys again, and maintains his “King of the House” attitude! I also give my other two cats 2 treats per day. This increases their water intake, which I’m hoping, will help prevent them from getting chronic kidney disease.
I’ve only had one issue with one of my orders with Rippon Naturals; however, they quickly jumped in, helped me with my order, and saved my day! I don’t shop anywhere else. Why would I? They have the best Customer Support team! Mr. Kitty and I thank you! 🥰

Our furbaby Luna is much easier to deal with when she has a few treats…She bites! Vet wanted us to give her to a farm as a mouser, we kept her.

Great CBD treats! Our newly rescued 16-year old kitty loves them and it is easy to control the amount of CBD he needs to relax after being in a shelter for months. A definite help with him getting to trust his new life with us. Thank you!!!
