1Why breed matters less than weight
Every credible canine CBD study doses by milligrams per kilogram of body weight — so a 6 lb Chihuahua and a 90 lb Rottweiler need very different amounts, while two dogs of the same weight need the same dose regardless of breed. What does change by breed is temperament: which triggers set your dog off. So each breed page pairs the weight-based dose with the anxiety patterns that breed is prone to, and links back to the graded evidence and the calculator.
