Calming Treats for Dogs

Look for products that combine real CBD (isolate, USA-grown, third-party tested) with complementary calming ingredients like L-tryptophan, chamomile, or valerian root.

For severe anxiety, dosage matters — a 25-lb dog with serious separation anxiety often needs the equivalent of 5–10 mg CBD, sometimes twice daily.

If your dog's anxiety is severe enough to cause self-injury or constant distress, work with a vet on a comprehensive plan that may include behavior training and prescription support.

Most dogs experience a relaxed, calmer demeanor — not sleepiness.

CBD at recommended doses isn't a sedative, and our calming chews are formulated for daytime use.

Some dogs do get a little sleepy at the higher end of the dose range or when given with a heavy meal.

No. Sunday Scaries CBD dog treats are made using CBD isolate which contains only CBD and lacks the psychoactive compound THC, which is responsible for the "high" feeling. 

Each batch is 3rd party lab tested to ensure no THC is present.

Yes, you can safely give CBD treats to your cat. CBD treats can offer potential benefits for cats, much like they do for dogs. When it comes to dosing, start with a low amount and gradually increase if needed. 

Cats have different weights and sizes, which can influence how they respond to CBD. Monitoring your cat's behavior, comfort level, and overall well-being can help you determine the optimal dosage. We recommend starting with half of a bone when giving these CBD treats to your cat.

We don't recommend giving these chews to puppies under 6 months. A puppy's nervous system is still developing, and there isn't enough research on pediatric CBD use.

If your puppy is anxious, talk to your vet about training approaches and age-appropriate options first.

Yes — senior dogs are one of the best use cases. Older dogs often develop new anxieties (noise sensitivity, cognitive dysfunction, restlessness at night), and CBD takes the edge off without the heavy sedation of prescription meds.

Start at the low end of the weight-based dose since older dogs metabolize more slowly. Skip these if your dog has serious liver or kidney disease, and check with your vet first if they're on prescription medication.

The calming effects typically last between 4 to 8 hours, depending on your dog’s size, age, and metabolism.

CBD is well-tolerated even at high doses, so a single overdose is rarely dangerous. The most common signs your dog had too much: extra drowsiness, mild ataxia (wobbly walking), occasional drooling, or loose stool. These resolve on their own within a few hours as the CBD clears their system.

Make sure they have water and a quiet place to rest, and skip the next scheduled dose. Call your vet if symptoms last more than 12 hours or if your dog seems unusually unresponsive — though serious reactions to CBD alone are extremely rare in healthy dogs.

Yes, our treats are 3rd party lab tested for potency, purity, and safety. Each batch is verified to be free from harmful contaminants like pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents.
