Mikko's Choice — Premium Canine CBD

Mikko's Choice — Designed By a Horse and Dog Owner In Pain…

There's a story behind every great product — and Mikko's Choice has one of the most extraordinary ones you'll ever hear. Emma, the founder of Mikko's Choice, grew up working hands-on with animals of all species, handling everything from basic husbandry to veterinary care. She earned a BS in Animal Science and a Master's degree in Animals and Public Policy. But life took an unexpected turn when a horse broke her back, leaving her facing a spinal fusion and a year-long recovery.

During that painful recovery, her brother — who opened a cannabis delivery service — convinced her to try CBD products for her nerve pain. The results were remarkable. They helped her get off opioids entirely and completely changed the trajectory of her recovery. Around the same time, her beloved dog was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma — a rapidly terminal liver cancer. With nothing to lose, Emma gave him a human CBD:THC tincture to ease his pain. To his veterinarian's absolute disbelief, his tumors went away. He lived another four years instead of the four months he was given.

At the time, there were virtually no animal CBD products on the market. So given personal experience with the plant, Emma decided to change that. She combined her Animal Science background, her graduate education, twenty years of equine experience across Dressage, Ranch Riding, Hunter, and Show Jumping, and three years in the cannabis industry to create Mikko's Choice — a line of CBD animal products built on firsthand experience, rigorous science, and genuine love for animals.

Why Are Mikko's Choice Formulations Unique?

Most CBD products on the market are vastly underdosed. This is the single biggest reason why so many dog owners try CBD and give up — they never gave their dog enough to actually see and feel a difference. Mikko's Choice was specifically designed to fix that problem.

The formulations are highly potent, meaning your dog gets a meaningful, effective dose right from the very first treat. And because Mikko's Choice is so concentrated, you actually end up spending less per milligram of CBD than you would with most competitors. More product, more CBD, lower price per mg.

The Dog Treats deliver 35 mg of CBD per treat, with 30 treats per bag. The All Animals CBD Tincture contains 5,000 mg of CBD per 60 ml bottle (83 mg per ml).

What Can CBD Help My Dog With?

Based on early research and the experiences of thousands of customers, Mikko's Choice products may help dogs with:

  • Anxiety, fear, nervousness — including storm and fireworks phobia
  • Joint stiffness, inflammation, and arthritis
  • Pain and body discomfort
  • Situational stress (vet visits, travel, separation)
  • Senior dog mobility and comfort
  • Sleep quality
  • Coming off prescription medications under vet guidance

Note: Mikko's Choice products are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any specific condition — but the customer stories are powerful, and we love sharing them.

How Do I Give The Treats To My Dog?

Start with 1 to 2 treats and observe your dog's response. Every dog is an individual — just like people have different tolerances. For acute anxiety situations (storms, fireworks, vet visits), give the treats at least 30 minutes before the stressful event. Doses can be doubled or tripled for intense situations or larger dogs.

Is Mikko's Choice Safe? Does It Contain THC?

Yes — safe, and rigorously tested! The treats and tincture contain 0.0% THC. Every batch is independently lab tested for CBD and THC concentrations, heavy metals, molds, and pesticides. Emma shares those results publicly on the website so you can verify everything yourself. Transparency is non-negotiable at Mikko's Choice.

When animals ingest TH C, they don't understand what is happening to them. Unlike a person who seeks that effect, animals can become extremely stressed and disoriented. Emma takes this seriously. You'll never have to worry about that with Mikko's Choice.

What Products Are Available for Dogs?

All products are independently lab tested, USA-sourced from organically grown hemp, and support small American farmers. With every purchase, $5 is donated to an animal rescue — the partner rotates monthly and is always listed on the website.

What does Mikko's Choice actually make for horses and dogs?

Mikko's Choice is a CBD line built around two flagship formats and a treat. The CBD Pellets come in a 1 LB bag ($65.00) and a 3 LB bag ($150.00), dosed so that 2 scoops equals 100 mg of CBD; the pellets are formulated with horses in mind but can also be given to pigs, goats, camelids and other livestock. The All Animals CBD Tincture 5,000 MG ($150.00) is a flavorless, scent-free liquid that suits dogs, cats, pigs and any animal large or small, with dropper dosing that adjusts to the individual. The newest addition is Mikko's Choice CBD Dog Treats ($45.00) — 30 all-natural, organic treats per bag at 35 mg CBD each (1,050 mg total).

Who is behind the brand, and why a wild mustang named Mikko?
Mikko's Choice is a small, woman-owned business run entirely by its founder, Emma — she is the single employee. The company is named for her BLM wild mustang, Mikko, whom she adopted, lost track of after a serious riding injury, and miraculously found again on Craigslist underweight and terrified years later. Emma rebuilt his trust using the groundwork philosophies of Ray Hunt, Tom Dorrance, Buck Brannaman and Warwick Schiller, eventually riding the horse two trainers had declared dangerous. That two-year journey is the origin story behind every bag.

How does Emma's background shape the formulas?

Emma combined an undergraduate Animal Science degree, a graduate degree in animals and public policy, twenty years in the equine industry, and three years in the cannabis and CBD industries to create Mikko's Choice. She entered the cannabis world after a horse trampled her and broke her back; during a year-long recovery, cannabis helped her off prescribed opioids and eased her nerve pain. When her own dog, Mo Dog, received a hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis with four months to live, the tincture she gave him helped turn those four months into four more years — the experience that convinced her animals deserved real options.

What goes into the products, and how are they tested?
Every Mikko's Choice product is made from 100% USA-grown hemp sourced through a network of small farmers, with a deliberately short, limited-ingredient formula and no added flavoring or scent. Each batch is independently, third-party lab tested for CBD and THC concentration, heavy metals, molds, solvents and pesticides, and the Certificates of Analysis are posted publicly on the site's Lab Test page. All products sold contain less than 0.3% THC, and the brand's promise is plain: "If we won't give it to our pets, we won't offer it for sale."

How is CBD given to a horse, and how soon does it work?
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) found in all mammals, and Mikko's Choice recommends starting with two scoops of pellets or one dropper of tincture once a day, then adjusting dose and frequency to the animal's needs. Pellets can be given by hand, added to grain, or mixed with a treat — even picky eaters take them. For a nervous horse you may see a change within the hour; chronic physical or behavioral issues respond best to daily use, and if there's no change within a few days the dose likely needs adjusting. Owners report using it for stress, stall-rest calm, swelling, muscle and joint stiffness, and mobility.

How do you order, and what does each purchase support?
Products ship direct to your door from mikkoschoice.com, with a subscribe-and-save option of up to 25% on single products and bundle savings (Bundle One — 1 lb. pellets + 5,000 tincture, $170.00; Bundle Two — 3 lb. pellets + 5,000 tincture, $240.00).

The Solution Section (FAQ)
Can CBD help my dog with anxiety, arthritis, or pain?

Based on early research and thousands of customer experiences, CBD may help dogs with anxiety and nervousness (including storm and fireworks phobia), joint stiffness and arthritis, general pain and discomfort, situational stress from vet visits or travel, senior mobility, and sleep. Mikko's Choice products are used for exactly these situations, though they are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any specific condition.

Why do so many dog owners feel CBD didn't work for their dog?

The single biggest reason is underdosing — most CBD products on the market are far too weak, so owners never give their dog enough to feel a difference and then give up. Mikko's Choice was specifically designed to fix that: the formulations are highly potent, so a dog gets a meaningful, effective dose from the very first treat.

Is CBD for dogs safe, and does it contain THC?

Safety comes down to THC content and testing. THC can leave animals extremely stressed and disoriented because they don't understand the effect, so a quality canine product should contain none. Mikko's Choice treats and tincture contain 0.0% THC, and every batch is independently lab tested for CBD and THC levels, heavy metals, molds, and pesticides — with the results published publicly so you can verify them yourself.

How much CBD is in Mikko's Choice products?

The Mikko's Choice Dog Treats deliver 35 mg of CBD per treat, with 30 treats per bag. The All Animals CBD Tincture contains 5,000 mg of CBD per 60 ml bottle (about 83 mg per ml) and works for dogs of all sizes. Because the products are so concentrated, owners often spend less per milligram of CBD than with weaker competitors.

How do I give CBD treats to my dog and how much should I use?

Start with 1 to 2 treats and watch your dog's response, since every dog has a different tolerance. For acute situations like storms, fireworks, or vet visits, give the treats at least 30 minutes before the stressful event, and doses can be doubled or tripled for intense situations or larger dogs. Mikko's Choice treats make this easy because each one carries a full 35 mg dose.

Where is Mikko's Choice CBD made and is it good quality?

All Mikko's Choice products are USA-sourced from organically grown hemp, support small American farmers, and are independently lab tested. The line was created by Emma, an animal scientist with a master's degree and twenty years of equine experience, after CBD helped both her own recovery from a back injury and her dog through a terminal cancer diagnosis — so the brand is built on firsthand experience and rigorous science.

Does buying Mikko's Choice support animal rescues?

Yes. With every purchase from Mikko's Choice, $5 is donated to an animal rescue; the partner rotates monthly and is always listed on the website.

What is Mikko's Choice?
Mikko's Choice is a small, woman-owned animal CBD company that makes CBD pellets, an all-animals CBD tincture, and CBD dog treats from 100% USA-grown hemp. Its tagline sums up the standard: "Animal CBD inspired by loved ones, formulated through science and proven with experience." Every product is independently lab tested and contains less than 0.3% THC.
Who founded Mikko's Choice and who runs it?
The company was founded and is run entirely by Emma, who is its single employee. She combined an undergraduate Animal Science degree, a graduate degree in animals and public policy, twenty years in the equine industry, and three years in the cannabis and CBD industries to build the brand. It is a small, woman-owned business.
Why is it called Mikko's Choice?
The brand is named for Emma's BLM wild mustang, Mikko, the original inspiration for the company. Emma adopted him from the Bureau of Land Management, became separated from him after a riding injury, and found him again years later on Craigslist, underweight and frightened. After a two-year rehabilitation using natural-horsemanship methods, Mikko became the balanced, social horse he is today.
What CBD products does Mikko's Choice sell?
The core line is CBD Pellets in 1 LB ($65.00) and 3 LB ($150.00) bags, the All Animals CBD Tincture 5,000 MG ($150.00), and Mikko's Choice CBD Dog Treats ($45.00). There are also two bundles: Bundle One (1 lb. pellets + 5,000 tincture, $170.00) and Bundle Two (3 lb. pellets + 5,000 tincture, $240.00). Single products offer subscribe-and-save up to 25%.
How much CBD is in the pellets?
The CBD pellets are dosed so that 2 scoops equals 100 mg of CBD. Mikko's Choice recommends starting horses at two scoops once a day and adjusting from there based on the individual animal's needs. The 1 LB bag is a good starting size, while the 3 LB bag suits multi-horse households or stocking up.
Can the pellets be given to animals other than horses?
Yes. The pellets are designed with horses in mind but can also be given to pigs, goats, camelids and other livestock. You can give them by hand, add them to grain, or mix them with another treat, and the company notes that even picky eaters tend to like them.
What is the All Animals CBD Tincture and which animals is it for?
The All Animals CBD Tincture 5,000 MG is a flavorless, scent-free liquid suited to any animal, large or small — it is ideal for dogs, cats and pigs. The dropper formulation allows easy dose adjustment across species and sizes, and because dosing depends on the individual animal rather than strictly on weight, the brand provides starting points on the product page, FAQ and blog.
What are the CBD Dog Treats and how strong are they?
Mikko's Choice CBD Dog Treats are marketed as the strongest CBD dog treats available at 35 mg CBD per treat — up to about 4x more potent than typical treats that contain under 10 mg. Each bag holds 30 all-natural, organic treats for 1,050 mg total CBD, intended to help dogs stay calm, comfortable and happy.
Where is the hemp sourced and is the product tested?
All Mikko's Choice products are made from 100% USA-grown hemp produced through a network of small farmers. Every product is independently, third-party lab tested for CBD and THC concentration, heavy metals, molds, solvents and pesticides, and the Certificates of Analysis are posted publicly on the site's Lab Test page.
How much THC is in Mikko's Choice products?
All products sold contain less than 0.3% THC, in line with federal hemp limits. Lab testing confirms both the CBD and THC concentrations of each batch. The products are not psychoactive at these levels.
How is CBD believed to work in horses and dogs?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural compound derived from hemp that interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) found in all mammals, including horses and dogs. Through this system it is associated with general relaxation, body comfort, daily wellness, and mobility support. Owners commonly report using Mikko's Choice products for stress, anxiety, swelling, inflammation, and muscle and joint stiffness.
How quickly does it work and how should I dose it?
Mikko's Choice recommends starting with two scoops of pellets or one dropper of tincture once a day, then adjusting dose and frequency to the animal's response. A nervous horse may show a change within the hour, while chronic physical or behavioral issues respond best to consistent daily use. If you don't see a change within a few days, the dose may need to be increased.
Is CBD safe for horses and is it allowed in competition?
CBD sourced from high-quality hemp and properly formulated is generally well-received by horses, and the brand advises monitoring behavior, appetite and demeanor and consulting a veterinarian before introducing any new supplement. For competition, rules on CBD use vary by governing body, so you should check with your specific equestrian organization before using it in competition.
Is there a discount for first-time buyers?
Yes. First-time customers can take $20 off their first order with code FTC20. Beyond that, single products offer subscribe-and-save of up to 25%, and the bundles deliver about 20% savings on each product compared to buying them separately.
Does Mikko's Choice give back to animal causes?
Yes. Mikko's Choice donates $5 from every sale to an animal rescue, with the recipient rotating monthly — partners are listed under the site's "Charitable Giving" section. The founder is an avid animal rescuer who fosters animals and supports rescues of all species. The brand also proudly sponsors the Veterinary Cannabis Society.
How do I buy Mikko's Choice and where does it ship?
Products are ordered online at mikkoschoice.com and delivered to your door, with subscription options available. The products are not for sale in Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, or anywhere CBD is prohibited. The company is not currently carried in retail stores but welcomes referrals to neighborhood pet or feed shops.
