You have seen CBD pet treats on shelves and online. Now you want to know two things. Are they legal in Montana, and how do you pick a good one?
This guide walks through both. It covers how Montana treats hemp CBD, the three product types you will see most, and what to check on a label. You can browse CBD pet products at Infinity Wellness at either of the Great Falls stores while you read along.
One note before we start. This article is for general education, not medical or legal advice. The FDA has not approved CBD for any use in animals. Your veterinarian is the right person for guidance about your specific pet.
Here is the question almost every Montana owner asks first.
Is CBD for pets legal in Montana?
Yes, within limits. Hemp became a legal crop nationwide under the 2018 Farm Bill. That law set the line between hemp and marijuana at 0.3% THC by dry weight.
Montana follows that framework. The Montana Department of Agriculture Hemp Program oversees hemp growing and processing in the state. Anyone who grows or processes hemp needs a state license and must meet testing rules.
Recreational marijuana is regulated separately by the Montana Department of Revenue. Hemp-derived CBD and marijuana come from the same plant family. They sit under different rules, though, and the state keeps a clear line between hemp and marijuana.
Store policy adds one more layer. Infinity Wellness serves adults 21 and older and asks for a valid physical ID at the door. For the full picture of Montana’s CBD laws, read our overview.
Legal to sell does not mean approved to treat. That distinction shapes everything below.
The 3 CBD product types Montana pet owners see most
The brief for this piece asked for a “top three.” Specific brands rotate in and out of stock, so brand rankings go stale fast. Product formats are more useful and more honest.
Here are the three you will run into.
- CBD pet treats. These are chews or biscuits with a set amount of CBD per piece. They are easy to portion and often the simplest place to start.
- Pet CBD tinctures and oils. These come in a dropper bottle. They let you measure smaller amounts and mix them into food.
- CBD topicals for pets. These are balms or salves applied to the skin rather than eaten.
You may see pet-specific brands such as Bailey’s CBD and Joy Nutrition among these formats. Brand selection rotates, so treat any name as a starting point, not a guarantee.
Availability changes between the two stores. Checking the live menu or asking a team member is the best way to see current stock.
| Product type | Form | What to check first |
| Pet treats | Chews or biscuits | CBD amount per piece, ingredient list |
| Tinctures and oils | Dropper bottle | CBD per milliliter, carrier oil |
| Topicals | Balm or salve | Skin-safe ingredients, no added THC |
Notice that none of these columns mention a health outcome. That is on purpose, and the next section explains why the label matters more than any claim.
How to read a pet CBD label before you buy
A good label tells you what is inside. A weak one leaves you guessing. Learn to spot the difference, and you can shop anywhere with confidence.
Look for four things.
- A batch number tied to a current lab report, often called a COA.
- Third-party testing from an outside lab, not the seller.
- A clear CBD amount, listed per treat or per milliliter.
- A short, readable ingredient list made for animals.
The COA is the anchor. It confirms the CBD amount and checks for THC and contaminants. Reputable makers link to it or print a QR code on the package.
Expert Insight: The label beats the brand name
Many pet CBD problems trace back to products built for people, not animals. Some human tinctures contain xylitol or certain essential oils that are unsafe for dogs. Human products also run at higher concentrations, which makes small-pet dosing hard to judge. A product labeled for pets, with a matching lab report, protects you more than any brand reputation. The FDA has flagged pet CBD products that made drug-like claims, so treat bold promises as a warning sign, not a selling point.
Reading labels well is half the job. The other half happens at the vet’s office.
Why your veterinarian comes first
CBD is not an approved animal medicine. The FDA states plainly that it has not approved cannabis for any use in animals. The agency has also declined to create a rule allowing CBD in animal food.
Your vet knows your pet’s history. They can flag interactions with current medications and weigh the impact of any existing conditions. That context matters far more than a product review.
So bring the label to your appointment. Ask about ingredients, timing, and whether CBD is a good fit for your pet. Let a licensed professional guide the decision, then shop with that guidance in hand.
Shopping for CBD pet products in Great Falls
Infinity Wellness runs two stores in the Electric City. Both keep the same daily hours and the same ID policy.
- 11th St N: 920 11th St N, Great Falls, MT 59405. Open the 11th St N menu.
- 6th St SW: 721 6th St SW Suite 3, Great Falls, MT 59404. Open the 6th St SW menu.
Selection and pricing can differ between the two. If you are near downtown or the River’s Edge Trail, either store is a short drive. Compare stock across the CBD category before you go, then confirm pet options at the counter.
Ask a team member about pet-specific brands, such as Bailey’s CBD and Joy Nutrition, and what is on the shelf that day. Stock rotates, so the current menu is always the best source.
