Formula Swiss’s Pet CBD Oil is made from top-shelf, CO2 extracted hemp. The formulas are straightforward, containing two primary ingredients: CBD extract and carrier oil. The product is affordable, especially for the degree of quality and assurance that Formula Swiss provides.
Aside from making a great pet CBD product, the company also offers detailed information about appropriate dosing and different animal conditions that may be treatable with CBD. Formula Swiss is a reputable CBD company that also sits on the board of the European Industrial Hemp Association and the Swiss Medical Cannabis Association.
Depending on potency, Formula Swiss’s Pet CBD Oil costs anywhere between €0.08 and €0.20 per mg CBD. This is an average cost for CBD oil. However, many pet CBD oils compromise on quality, where Formula Swiss has not. We think it’s a good value for money.
Formula Swiss offers three different potencies, all of which are appropriate for different sized pets. The highest potency contains 50 mg/mL, which we consider to be high potency even for human-grade CBD oil. Three available potencies allow consumers to choose the appropriate dose for their pets.
Formula Swiss doesn’t specify its exact hemp source. It just mentions that it sources all of its ingredients from partners in Norway, Switzerland, and some other EU nations. We would have liked to see more information about the precise hemp source.
Formula Swiss gives detailed information on its website about administering CBD to pets, whether it is a cat, dog, horse, or mouse. The company also outlines some of the conditions which may be treatable with CBD.
Formula Swiss offers three potencies in two different carrier oils. Pet CBD oil can be purchased in 100 mg, 300 mg, or 500 mg potencies. Olive and hemp seed carrier oils are available. Finally, it’s nice to see the company has included two pet-friendly flavors in the product range: chicken and beef.
Formula Swiss keeps the formulation simple, containing only CBD and carrier oil. For the flavored variety, there are flavoring agents included. It’s best to keep it simple with pet CBD oil, so this makes for a decent formula.
As CBD becomes increasingly popular for pets, the need for high quality pet CBD products also increases. Though animals have an endocannabinoid system similar to humans, they are also much more susceptible to intoxication by cannabinoids. Thus, it’s imperative to use a high-quality pet CBD oil such as Formula Swiss.
Formula Swiss’s pet CBD oils are manufactured using the same principles as the company’s traditional CBD oils, and so preserve high-quality control measures.
Formula Swiss has opted for a full-spectrum CBD oil for its pet CBD products. Each bottle contains less than 0.2% THC, and consumers can confirm this by looking at the company’s analysis reports.
Formula Swiss offers pet CBD products in a range of concentrations and has even included a flavor range to suit the palate of your pet. Beef and chicken aromas are available in two strengths: 100 mg and 300 mg.
When it comes to pet CBD products, the magic is in the quality.
There is a lesser need for complex formulas when it comes to pets, so consumers should focus mainly on the quality of CBD and the dosage. Formula Swiss provides an excellent quality product that consumers can feel confident about.
Formula Swiss, as well as offering CBD oil for humans, also manufactures a pet CBD range. For all intents and purposes, this is the same CBD oil for human consumption. However, their dosage is smaller to minimize the risk of overdose.
Formula Swiss Pet CBD oils are available in 3 concentrations: 100 mg, 300 mg, and 500 mg. The CBD is carried in either hemp seed oil or olive oil. For the more fussy feline or canine palates, Formula Swiss also offers beef and chicken flavors.
The company has opted for a full-spectrum CBD product. However, pet owners should beware that animals are much more sensitive to THC than humans. If any unusual behavior is observed, treatment with Formula Swiss’s Pet CBD Oil should stop.
These Pet CBD Oils aren’t cheap, but not particularly expensive either. For the quality assurance that Formula Swiss offers, the prices are reasonable. Finally, supporting this company also supports its position in the European Industrial Hemp Association and the Swiss Medical Cannabis Association.

One of the ongoing problems with pet CBD products is quality. Animals are not accustomed to exposure from industrial contaminants, which often make it into low-quality CBD products.
Formula Swiss’s ethos is very much in line with quality and sustainability, and the company’s CoA scores illustrate this. Consumers can feel confident about the quality of Formula Swiss’s Pet CBD Oil.
Not all feline and canine palates were created equal. While some pets will consume anything without wincing, others are incredibly fussy about flavors and their taste buds. To mitigate any resistance to CBD oil, Formula Swiss also offers Pet CBD Oil with beef and chicken aromas.
Formula Swiss Pet CBD Oils are affordable, costing anywhere between $22 for 100 mg and $42 for 500 mg. There is better value to be had on higher concentrations, but consumers should be mindful of dosing. Overall, the price is average, considering the quality of the product.
Formula Swiss was founded in Zug, Switzerland, and remains family-owned until now. The team consisted of industry experts and was founded in 2013. The overwhelming impression of Formula Swiss is one of knowledge, competence, and quality.
Aside from manufacturing top-quality CBD products, Formula Swiss also has an influential hand in European hemp legislation. Formula Swiss is a member of the European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA) and the Swiss Medical Cannabis Association. Its product packaging is thoughtfully considered to maintain sustainability. The Forest Stewardship Council approves of its packaging.
Unlike the US CBD market, the European one is strictly regulated. Formula Swiss influences the degree of regulation and quality control through its membership with EIHA and the Swiss Medical Cannabis Association.
The company’s involvement in the social repercussions of hemp legalization doesn’t stop at sitting on the board of the EIHA. The company offers comprehensive public education about CBD through its blog. The company website also contains a full database of scientific research on CBD.
Though the range of products at Formula Swiss is relatively small, it’s obvious the company has invested a lot of effort into the quality of those products. Formula Swiss keeps it simple and smart.
There is still no conclusive evidence about using CBD on pets, though many veterinarians advocate its use. For this reason, it isn’t straightforward to know which kind of pet would be most suitable for CBD.
Formula Swiss offers advice on its website about treating anxiety, aggression, and sleep-related issues for pets. This may include altered sleep due to injury or aggression caused by excessive anxiety.
Some pet owners have had success treating epilepsy with CBD oil. However, pet owners should always speak to their veterinarian, especially if the pet is on other medications.
It’s not unusual for CBD oils of this quality to be extremely expensive, forcing customers to buy cheaper, lower-quality oils.
Formula Swiss CBD oil is of exceptional quality, and the price tag doesn’t really compare with the rest of the market. The price tag is a good value for those who are searching for a high-quality CBD oil without breaking the bank.
Consumers should beware that the 100 mg bottle is only available in chicken or beef aroma. Otherwise, all prices are the same for all concentrations, irrespective of the carrier oil chosen.
Product Image | Product Name | Total Cost | Total CBD | Cost per mg CBD |
Formula Swiss Pet CBD Oil — 100 mg | €19.95 | 100 mg | €0.20 | |
Formula Swiss Pet CBD Oil — 300 mg | €29.00 | 300 mg | €0.10 | |
Formula Swiss Pet CBD Oil — 500 mg | €39.00 | 500 mg | €0.08 |
CBD potency is different for humans than it is for pets.
Smaller bodies are much more sensitive to CBD, and therefore pets don’t need quite as much as humans do. This is why most pet CBD oils are available in lower concentrations, while human CBD oils are available at higher levels of CBD.
In general, CBD doses for animals are not considered based on their body chemistry. Their body weight measures it — the heavier the animal, the higher the treatment required. Thus, dosing is strictly mathematical when it comes to treating pets with CBD.
Formula Swiss recommends the following dosing regime:
Product Image | Product Name | Total CBD | Total Volume | CBD Potency (mg/mL) | Potency Level |
Formula Swiss Pet CBD Oil — 100 mg | 100 mg | 10 mL | 10 mg/mL | Low | |
Formula Swiss Pet CBD Oil — 300 mg | 300 mg | 10 mL | 30 mg/mL | Medium | |
Formula Swiss Pet CBD Oil — 500 mg | 500 mg | 10 mL | 50 mg/mL | High |
Formula Swiss doesn’t mention a specific hemp source. However, the company states that all ingredients are sourced from suppliers in Norway, Switzerland, and other EU countries. Formula Swiss makes it clear that it only partners with those who share the same philosophy on sustainability and quality.
Many Eastern European nations cultivate industrial hemp. Many countries around the world have sourced hemp from Romania and other Eastern European nations. Even the USA imported much of its hemp from Europe before the 2018 Farm Bill.
Although Formula Swiss doesn’t specifically mention a hemp source, consumers can look at the company’s Certificates of Analysis. They speak for themselves in terms of quality, cannabinoid content, and potential contaminants.
As previously mentioned, solid scientific research about the effects of CBD on cats, dogs, and other animals is yet to exist.
This makes assessing the true purpose of CBD for animals impossible. With that said, most people choose to use CBD products with their pets for health reasons. CBD has been suggested to offer a long list of health benefits for different conditions.
Formula Swiss gives detailed information about giving CBD to cats and dogs on the company website. The company lists the top five benefits of CBD for pets:
The product is designed to suit these purposes — at least, this is how Formula Swiss advertises the product. With that said, every pet owner should consult their veterinarian before administering CBD to their pet.
Formula Swiss keeps its recipes simple. The Pet CBD Oil range is comprised of two ingredients only: CBD extracts derived from CO2 extraction of hemp, and a carrier oil (hemp seed or olive). For the flavored varieties, Formula Swiss has included a chicken or beef flavoring. Next to that, there’s nothing else in the bottle.
This is ideal because there are many foods that humans eat that are not good for cats and dogs, such as garlic and chocolate.
Keeping the recipe simple means there are no complications that could arise from different ingredients. Very little is known about CBD and pets other than the fact that they, too, have an endocannabinoid system. Therefore, CBD should be administered in isolation in order to observe any possible side effects.
Formula Swiss ships globally, including the US and Australia. However, the company warns that hemp and CBD laws are not the same around the world, and each customer should take responsibility for ensuring that CBD is legal in their country. Formula Swiss takes no responsibility for items seized at customs.
Shipping is calculated at checkout, and we assume that shipping to each country is different. However, when we checked the shipping costs to the USA and Australia, we found them both to cost €9.50 for a single bottle of CBD oil. Overall, shipping is affordable. USPS Express Shipping Service is used.
Returns are only accepted for undamaged, unopened, and unused products. Returns are only granted for change of mind. The return should be lodged within 14 days of receiving the item and is done through Formula Swiss’s customer service team. If the return is granted, Formula Swiss will issue a refund or exchange.
For damaged or defective goods, the product should be sent back to Formula Swiss for inspection. If Formula Swiss approves the return of the defective product, the company will issue a replacement.
When it comes to our furry companions, simple is the best option.
Formula Swiss has honored this, keeping the formula simple and using top-shelf CBD extract in its formulation. We know a lot less about how CBD works in the animal body than how it works in the human body! It’s, therefore, important to keep medications simple and of the highest quality to minimize problems.
The product is affordable, and Formula Swiss is a reputable company. The company also provides useful information about appropriate CBD dosing for pets, and the different things it can be used for.
