HOW DOES IT WORK?
Here’s everything pet parents need to know about hemp oil for dogs.
Hemp products will not produce any euphoric sensations. This is very important to the compound that makes it special. Being an inert compound hemp users and hemp oil for dogs get many of the benefits of the medicinal aspects without the “high” and this is big from both a medical and a legal standpoint.
Cannabinoids interact with the body through what is referred to as the “endocannabinoid” system.
The Endocannabinoid system is a series of neurons that run throughout the body, and any Cannabinoids that the enter the body bind to receptors that can produce these different responses.
The cool thing is that humans are not the only species known to have this Endocannabinoid system. Many species have been shown in research to have these receptors that cannabinoids have an effect too. One of the more popular researched species is dogs who have been shown to have positive reactions to other prescription drugs can be toxic, this is a place for hemp oil for dogs to shine.
Dr. Gary Richter, owner and medical director of Montclair Veterinary Hospital in Oakland, California, points out that hemp oil has no psychoactive effect on dogs when dosed properly. “Depending on the nature of the product, if it contains little or no psychoactive triggers, then the dog is not going to get high.”

WHY GIVE IT TO YOUR PET?
In 2016, Stephanie McGrath, D.V.M., a veterinarian and assistant professor of neurology at Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences - conducted some of the first studies looking into basic questions about how hemp is metabolized by dogs and whether the compound poses any immediate health threats.
“There were no studies on hemp [and pets] at that time," says McGrath, who published two of her hemp studies in 2018. "But people were using it and they were desperate. I [thought] we need to start answering these questions.”
After her initial research, McGrath began two clinical trials, one on dogs with epilepsy and another on dogs with osteoarthritis. Early results are encouraging, she says, but notes that the results are not yet final or published.
A separate study from Cornell found that 2 mg per kilogram of hemp oil twice daily “can help increase comfort and activity” in dogs with osteoarthritis.

FAQ
What's the difference between industrial hemp and the drug commonly associated with it?
Despite common misconceptions, hemp is not another term for the drug often incorrectly associated with it. The two come from two different plants otherwise known as different 'strain's of the cannabis sativa plant species.
