Late October in Colorado brings the first real cold mornings of the season. For pet owners — especially those with older or more active dogs — it also brings a familiar set of questions. How do you support a dog whose joints are starting to show their age? What do you give a dog who gets restless when a front moves through?
At The CBD Store in Loveland, a locally owned shop at 677 E. Eisenhower Blvd., these conversations pick up noticeably in fall. Here's what Colorado pet owners are keeping on hand as winter approaches.
Joint Support for Cold-Weather Dogs
Cold mornings have a way of making joint stiffness more noticeable in dogs, particularly those over five years old or working breeds who've spent the summer hiking Colorado trails. The Koi CBD Pet Chews Collection ($35) is one of the products we point people toward most often. It includes three formulas — Calming, Hip & Joint, and Omega Wellness — each with 6mg of full-spectrum CBD per chew. The Hip & Joint formula is built for exactly this kind of everyday support as the temperature drops.
For dogs already accustomed to a tincture routine, the CBDfx Pet Tinctures for Dogs & Cats ($35) are a clean broad-spectrum option that mixes easily into food. Both are third-party lab tested, which matters when you're deciding what your dog gets every morning.
Calming Support When the Weather Shifts
Some dogs don't show it in their joints — they show it in their behavior. Colorado dogs who spend a lot of time outdoors can be sensitive to weather changes: barometric pressure drops before a snowstorm, shorter afternoons, the general shift in household energy that comes with fall. The Koi CBD Dog Biscuits ($35) include calming chamomile alongside 5mg of full-spectrum CBD in a peanut butter and green apple flavor most dogs genuinely enjoy. They're easy to work into a daily routine precisely because dogs tend to ask for them.
Why Starting in October Makes Sense
CBD for pets, like CBD for people, tends to show its value after a few weeks of consistent daily use — not as a one-off when your dog seems off. Starting a routine in late October means you have real data by the time Colorado winter gets serious. You'll know if the hip and joint formula is making mornings easier before the hard cold arrives, rather than starting from scratch in January.
The CBD Store is open Monday through Saturday, 11am–6pm. Stop in and bring your dog's weight — it's the most useful thing you can have when figuring out the right dose and formula for your specific dog.
