The CBD bone is the perfect occupier for your dog, so you can give it to your BFF at any time. However, to help him with a stressful event, give him the bone to chew 30 – 60 minutes prior to the event (thunderstorm, fireworks, if you’re leaving the house and he gets separation anxiety, etc.). If your pet is very anxious, it’s best to also give him a supplement to help to keep him calm.
