Hemp for Pets: What It Is, How It Works, and Why It’s Safe

Hemp for Pets: What It Is, How It Works, and Why It’s Safe

Hemp-based pet supplements are one of the fastest-growing categories in holistic pet wellness—and for good reason. When used properly, hemp products can offer real relief for dogs and cats dealing with anxiety, joint pain, inflammation, and more.

At J-B Pet Supplies, we carry trusted hemp products from Super Snouts and NaturVet, both of which are carefully formulated with your pet’s health and safety in mind.

Let’s break down what hemp really is, how it affects your pet, and why it might be a smart addition to their wellness routine.

🌿 What Are Hemp Products for Pets?

Hemp supplements for pets are typically made using compounds extracted from the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa)—specifically, CBD (cannabidiol) and other beneficial non-psychoactive cannabinoids.

💡 Important to Know:
The hemp products we carry at J-B Pet Supplies do NOT contain THC—the compound responsible for the “high” in marijuana. That makes them safe and non-intoxicating for both dogs and cats.

🚫 Why THC Is Dangerous for Pets

While THC may be harmless (or even helpful) to humans in controlled doses, it’s toxic to dogs and cats. Even small amounts can cause:

• Disorientation

• Drooling

• Vomiting

• Tremors

• Low blood pressure

• Seizures

That’s why it’s critical to choose pet-specific hemp products—like those from Super Snouts and NaturVet—that are 100% THC-free and lab-tested for safety.

🧠 How Hemp Works in a Dog or Cat’s Body

Pets, just like people, have something called an endocannabinoid system (ECS)—a network of receptors that helps regulate balance in the body. This system plays a key role in managing:

• Mood

• Pain

• Inflammation

• Appetite

• Immune response

Hemp-derived compounds (especially CBD) interact with the ECS to support these functions, often helping pets feel more comfortable, relaxed, and mobile.

🐕 What Are the Benefits of Hemp for Dogs and Cats?

Pet-safe hemp supplements can help support:

🧘 Calm behavior & reduced anxiety – Ideal for storms, fireworks, separation anxiety, and car rides.
🏃 Joint & mobility support – Helps reduce inflammation and discomfort in senior pets or those with arthritis.
🩺 Immune & neurological health – May support overall wellness and balance.
🍽️ Appetite stimulation – Especially helpful for pets recovering from illness or stress.
🐾 Skin & coat health – Many formulas support healthy inflammation response, which can help itchy or sensitive skin.
