This is the definitive Medterra Pets review. We cover everything about Medterra Pets CBD oil tinctures and Medterra dog treats.

We tested Medterra Pets CBD oil for dogs on our pup, who struggles with anxiety, separation issues, and other health and behavioral issues. He was constantly barking at every noise he could hear outside the house and would be anxious whenever we left him alone. So, did Medterra help our pooch?

Here is a detailed account of our dog’s experience with all of Medterra’s pet CBD products, as well as insights, ingredient quality, beneficial results, taste, effectiveness, and other factors you should know before getting this for your dog. Let’s find out more!

All about Medterra

What Is Medterra?

Founded in 2017 in Kentucky, Medterra started as a CBD company for people. Eventually, they started offerings a Medterra Pets collection, including all-natural CBD chews and tinctures for cats and dogs.

Today, Medterra CBD is one of the most widely distributed global industry leaders in CBD. Its portfolio of products sold in over 23,000 retail locations in the U.S. and more than 120,000 distribution points globally, including necessary businesses like leading national grocery and drugstore chains, as well as online. 

Medterra’s goal is to deliver quality CBD products to all those in need at an affordable price. Medterra is in partnership with the Hemp Pilot Research Program to be able to provide customers quality CBD products in all 50 states and international countries.

The company wants you to see them as more than a logo and pretty, purple packaging. This is why they operate under three key concepts: Caring for Others, Continual Innovation, and CBD for All.

Ingredient Sourcing And Manufacturing

Medterra’s CBD products are made from industrial hemp grown and extracted in accordance with the guidelines of the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. Every product must be third-party tested to ensure consistency and quality. The company is compliant with the U.S. 2018 Farm Bill, meaning they use the best practices in hemp cultivation.

They have a team of experts and partners who have dedicated their lives to industrial farming methodologies, food-grade compound extraction, vegetable genetics, and quality control.

Additionally, the company is certified by The U.S. Hemp Authority™ Certification Program, the industry’s initiative to provide high standards, best practices, and self-regulation, giving consumers and retailers confidence in hemp and CBD products.

They also use a seed-to-sale process by which CBD products are tracked. This further ensures transparency, compliance, and high-quality standards by every part/entity involved in the CBD product’s supply chain.

It’s manufacturing facility is headquartered in Irvine, California (9801 Research Dr, Irvine, California, 92618, United States).

Medterra Pet CBD Ingredients

Here is a list of the ingredients that make up all of Medterra’s CBD oil tinctures.

• 99%+ hemp-derived isolate CBD (Cannabidiol) extract
• Contain 0% THC
• Infused with Organic MCT Oil (Coconut derived)
• Natural flavors (beef, chicken & unflavored)
• Other organic ingredients

Medterra CBD chews can contain the following ingredients

Third-Party Tested (Lab Results)

We like that Medterra third-party tests every batch to ensure purity, potency, and safety. This guarantees their products to be free of contaminants like heavy metals, bacteria, microbial life, mycotoxins, and pesticides. 

By providing third-party results, Medterra makes it really simple for customers to validate that what’s actually on the label of the product (i.e CBD content, THC, etc) is accurate.

When you buy a Medterra product, it will come with a corresponding Certificate of Analysis (COA) that can be accessed on their website. Your COA will contain information on each batch of the product, ingredient profiles and quality control methods.

We reviewed the lab results for their most popular pet products to confirm label accuracy, and here is what we found.

*Analysis report performed by Green Scientific Labs on December 16, 2019 for Medterra’s CBD oil and treat products.

We were able to confirm that:

• The product has the expected amount of CBD
• Non-detectable levels of THC
• CBD isolate
• Tested for unwanted or harmful substances like pesticides, metals, solvents, or microbial. None detected!
• According to its analysis report, it does not contain any other cannabinoids like CBC or CBG, so it 100% CBD isolate.

For a more detailed lab result analysis, below you will find Medterra’s Lab Sheets for their CBD Oil tincture (300mg) and CBD Chews (300mg).

NOTE: Medterra products are not tested for herbicides such as glyphosate, because, under the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s organic farming practice, they already avoid using any chemicals during the growing and extraction process.

CBD Benefits: Why Use Medterra?

As a research-driven company, Medterra has conducted studies to prove the effectiveness and benefits of its CBD products.

In collaboration with researchers from the Baylor College of Medicine, within the Texas Medical Center, Medterra demonstrated that CBD can have therapeutic potential benefits in arthritic dogs^1,2. Dr. Mathew Halpert, research faculty in the Department of Pathology and Immunology at Baylor College of Medicine stated that “Nine of the 10 dogs on CBD showed benefits, which remained for two weeks after the treatment stopped. We did not detect alterations in the blood markers we measured, suggesting that, under the conditions of our study, the treatment seems to be safe”.

Other common benefits associated with CBD oil for dogs include:

• Wellness & preventive care
• Seizures and epilepsy
• Nausea
• Stress
• Anxiety
• Arthritis
• Chronic inflammation
• Joint pain
• Symptoms of cancer
• Gastrointestinal issues ( Digestion problems)
• Protects the nervous system
• Increases appetite
• Cancer

According to Dr. Klein, a veterinarian with the AKC, CBD is also used because of its anti-inflammatory properties, cardiac benefits, anti-nausea effects, appetite stimulation, anti-anxiety impact, and its possible anti-cancer benefits³. 

CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid receptors located in your dog’s brain’s central and peripheral nervous systems. It helps maintain a chemical balance in your dog’s body to maintain a healthy state.

Multiple research studies support the benefits of CBD for dogs. To learn more about the research behind each condition listed above, read Chapter 3 of our Dog CBD oil guide.

We decided to get our hands on Medterra pet CBD products to see if they benefited our dog.

Ordering & Delivery

Ordering from Medterra Pets was an easy and timeless process. After learning about their pet products, we added our picks to our cart, inserted our shipping and payment information, and proceeded to check out.

Right after we placed our order, we got an email order confirmation. When our package shipped, another email proceeded with the tracking information and delivery date. We opted for ground shipping with an estimated 2-5 business day delivery. Our order only took 3 days to arrive.

Know that orders placed prior to 11am PST are typically shipped the same business day. If you place your orders later in the day or on the weekends should ship on the following business day.

Unboxing

Our products came in a medium box. The box was insulated with styrofoam blocks to product the chews and tincture bottles.

Everything was labeled, well organized and the high-quality of the products seemed pretty premium.

Here is what we found in the box:

• 1 package of Medterra CBD Calming chews
• 1 package of Medterra CBD Pet Joint Support chews
• 1 bottle of Chicken-flavored Medterra CBD drops
• 1 bottle of Beef-flavored Medterra CBD drops
• 1 bottle of Unflavored Medterra CBD drops
• Shipping label

Unboxing was fun for Bandit and ourselves. Bandit was super happy and excited to receive his package of CBD oils and treats from Medterra!

CBD Oil Time & Experience

Here is our dog’s experience with Medterra.

Testimonial Experience

“Our dog Bandit had been feeling a bit under the weather for a while now. He seems to be stressed out from moving around, and we believe his anxiety made things worse. He’s also had some allergies from being outside and playing in the park. We knew we needed to find something that would make him feel better, but it seemed like every vet said he just needed rest.

So this morning, when my wife and I suggested we try some CBD oil products on Bandit, I thought she was crazy, my wife, not the dog, lol. But then I remembered how much Bandit loves going on walks with me before struggling with allergies and anxiety, so maybe feeding him CBD for his sake wouldn’t hurt anything after all… And you know what?

It turns out that CBD seems to be helping. Bandit started to do better on our morning walks, was less anxious, and the allergies weren’t bothering him! I guess it’s because of all the better sleeping he’s been getting since taking CBD. He feels more energetic and happy. I can’t thank my wife enough for suggesting it, and we’re both thinking of getting some more.

We noticed Bandit rubbing his snout against the carpet after eating the chews for the first few days. I’d take that over everything else he’s been putting up with lately. The rubbing went away just a week after.

The first time I gave our dog Medterra CBD Pet Bacon Calming Soft Chews, he gobbled them right up. We started giving him half a treat and noticed that he was much calmer when we were gone for long periods of time. His anxiety about the car also seemed to be lessened! We did talk to our vet before giving CBD oil drops to our dog. After getting the go-ahead from our vet, we give Bandit half a dropper per day. We chose not to give bandit the oil and chews on the same day. We alternative each day.” – Bandit’s Owner

Customer Service

Medterra Pets has above average customer service in our experience.

You can tell the company aims to support customers as much as possible. Their website provides an online chat bar that allows you to quickly ask one of their customer service experts. They also have their phone number listed for anyone to call. Working hours are also displayed on the website (Monday – Friday from 6:00 AM – 5:00 PM PT or Saturday from 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM PT.) Their social media interactions are good overall, but we noticed some unresponded customer posts and questions that the company has not addressed.

We tested Medterra’s customer service by having some dog owner friends and the Canine Bible team anonymously inquire about Medterra Pets CBD oil and chews via email, phone, and chat to measure their responsiveness and care. Overall, the pet parents were pretty satisfied with the quality of customer service. Responses by their customer support were timely and helpful.

Customer Reviews

Here is what other customers are saying about Medterra CBD for pets.

Positive Review

“There’s nothing safe that I won’t try for my beloved pitbull, Bluebell. She had a rough life before I adopted her, as well as fighting cancer now. She gets only the best food, treats, and meds to help her comfort levels. I noticed a big difference in her mobility and overall mood shortly after starting her on the CBD tincture. It relieves me to know that she feels better on the CBD even though she’s an older dog, fighting a major health situation” – Tina, 03/27/2021, Medterra Verified Buyer

“Works great! Dogs love it. I have the 750 mg. My 10-year-old hound dog has bad hips. He can barely stand up without it. He trots around the yard and is much more active since I started him on this product. He’s happier, and I can tell he feels better. My 12-year-old blue tick hound was really slowing down. I could tell she was in pain. After I started her on the oil, she started moving a lot more and sleeping less. She seems so much happier too.” – Joy W., 12/06/2020, Medterra Verified Buyer

“100000 stars if I could! My 9yo Maltese had some pretty significant mobility issues and was suffering. I had tried other products but no luck. I can’t say enough good about this product and this oil. I barely recognize this dog, not even one, and he’s running around the house and yard like a puppy. I swear it looks like he’s skipping! The funny part? I can yell “Meeeeeeedicine,” and he runs at full speed to get his drops, morning and night. He absolutely loves the taste! If you’re having issues, be it mobility, Skin, etc., I urge you to give this phenomenal oil and company a try. You will not be disappointed, I promise!” – Stephanie C., 10/04/2020, Medterra Verified Buyer

“My cat has seizures and had been put on Phenobarbital and Valium to control his epilepsy. All he did was sleep and had zero quality of life.
I decided to take him off of his meds and watch him carefully. The seizures returned in full force. One day it dawned on me that if we take CBD oil to improve our health, what about trying it on Boo (Read more about review stating My cat has seizures and my cat)? Oh My Goodness!! He’s only had one seizure since I started giving it to him, and it was very mild compared to previous events!! I will continue giving him the CBD oil!! I’m so thankful that he can now enjoy his life!!! Thank you, MedTerra!!!” – Christine O. 11/17/2020, Medterra Verified Buyer

Negative Reviews

“Terrible experience with my order. I placed an order with 2-day shipping, for which I paid an extra $18.73 for. The bottle arrived in 3 days with the top completely severed from the rest of the bottle, and part of the bottle shattered into small glass pieces. I promptly contacted customer service. At first, they told me that I would have to pay for 2-day shipping again but then offered to send the product with 2-day shipping again for free when I protested. Then they told me that they had to talk to their supervisor first and that they wouldn’t be in until later in the day – which would further delay the shipping time. The only compensation they offered was a 15% discount on another order that I placed. This amount of discount can easily be obtained online by anyone by finding a coupon code. So I paid an additional $18 dollars for 2-day shipping and will be receiving my order at a minimum of 5 days from the date that I placed my original order. They refused to compensate me for this additional cost and blamed the condition of the product on the delivery company. I informed them that if the product had been packaged well and securely (it wasn’t), this whole incident could have been avoided. It’s a real disappointment when a company will not own up to its mistakes and blame another company. The amount in dispute is a small one, but it came down to principle – which I feel that this company lacks. But fortunately, I was able to find the exact same type of product with another reputable company, and it was almost half the price of what they offer.” – Arlene C, 03/13/2019, BBB – Verified Buyer

“Dog didn’t improve and product stunck! My dog has had other brands with much more success” – Gwen K, 08/30/2020, Medterra Verified Buyer

“The cbd oil has not helped my 5 cats at all.” – Sharon T, 04/02/2021, Medterra Verified Buyer

Reddit Reviews

We didn’t find any specific Reddit thread that talked about Medterra and its usage on dogs but we did saw a lot of people talking about how this CBD has helped them. Some users report

“I really like Medterra so far…helps with sleep, anxiety, & my chronic pain. Also, it is one of the most reasonably priced CBD’s online. They also have a reward program that gives you money off purchases. I have not had as much luck with the other CBD I tried & it is terribly expensive too!” and others say “MedTerra is incredible quality.” “I have Mediterra Nighttime and while I don’t know the CBD levels, it knocks me out in 30 minutes.”

Overall, upon a visual survey of customer satisfaction for Medterra, the positive reviews by far outweigh the negative. Out of the hundreds of reviews submitted by real Medterra customers (on Medterra, BBB, Reddit & review platforms combined), more than 90% are positive reviews.

Our Vereditc & Alternatives

We are so glad Medterra CBD gave us a glimpse at what CBD can do for our pets. We are happy with the results and our research about this company makes us feel confident recommending it to anyone looking for a high-quality CBD brand to help your dog with anxiety or any physical pain.

Because Medterra uses CBD isolates, you’re missing out on a wealth of other cannabinoids, most of which have their own health benefits to add to the mix. In our eyes, that’s the only downside. We’d like to see Medterra add a few full-spectrum options in the future for customers who want to take advantage of the entourage effect. If you want to compare Medterra and other top high-quality options that are full-spectrum, read our best CBD oils for dogs article.

We love the affordability and company’s missions in trying to bring CBD to all pets. We love that they third-party lab test for everything. That’s a huge plus for transparency and safety.

If you are looking for more variety in the treat department, you can find the CBD chews in our reviews of the best dog CBD treats.
