CBD a voda: Co potřebujete vědět o vlivu na psy a kočky
When you give your pet CBD, a natural compound from hemp that supports calmness and comfort in animals. Also known as kanabidiol, it doesn’t get them high—but it can change how their body handles fluids. Many pet owners notice their dog or cat suddenly drinks more water after starting CBD. It’s not a bug—it’s a feature. And yes, it’s usually perfectly normal.
This happens because CBD, interacts with the endocannabinoid system that regulates thirst, appetite, and metabolism. When this system gets a gentle nudge, your pet’s body may respond by signaling for more water. That’s especially common in kočky, cats whose natural hydration habits are already different from dogs. A thirsty cat isn’t necessarily sick—it might just be reacting to the oil. But you still need to watch for other signs: lethargy, vomiting, or loss of coordination. Those are red flags. Just increased water intake? Usually not.
It’s also why giving CBD olej, a concentrated hemp extract used for pets with food helps. Fats improve absorption, so less of it gets flushed out. And if your pet drinks more after a meal, it’s likely just flushing out what their body didn’t need. No need to panic. But do keep fresh water available at all times. Never restrict it.
Some people worry CBD causes dehydration. It doesn’t. In fact, it often helps pets who are stressed or in pain drink more—because they finally feel calm enough to care about hydration. A dog with arthritis might avoid moving to the water bowl. A cat with anxiety might skip water for days. CBD doesn’t magically fix that—but it can remove the barrier.
There’s no magic number for how much water is "too much." Dogs can drink up to 100 ml per kg of body weight daily and still be fine. Cats are trickier—they naturally drink less, so even a small increase matters. If your cat starts drinking twice as much as usual and pees everywhere, talk to your vet. But if they just sip a little more and act normal? Probably just CBD doing its job.
Don’t confuse this with THC poisoning. CBD products for pets must be THC-free or contain less than 0.3%. If your pet is dizzy, vomiting, or can’t stand up, that’s an emergency. But if they’re just extra thirsty and happy? That’s the quiet success story most owners never talk about.
You’ll find answers here about how much CBD is safe, why some pets drink more than others, what to do if you’re unsure, and how to tell the difference between normal reactions and real trouble. Whether you’re new to CBD or have been using it for months, these real cases from pet owners and vets will help you make smarter choices—without the guesswork.
