CBD is "technically" federally legal since the 2018 Farm Bill. Practically, it's in this limbo position where if it's allowed without any restrictions it's very hard to control THC which is a Sched 1 drug that Feds care a lot about. That's why even though you can buy CBD from your closest market, people still get busted for "smuggling" because CBD cannabis (and hemp) looks identical to marijuana. So currently it's in this weird limbo state where it's 100% legal but its legality cannot be enforced so in some places it's not possible to find CBD.

Also, I think CBD is effective for dogs and cats (e.g. for seizures) but apparently there is some evidence THC is toxic to cats and dogs. So PLEASE be sure your CBD doesn't include THC before feeding it to your pet.

yes, its technically federally legal, but some cities around me are still prosecuting CBD possession
