Hemp/CBD Products for Pets

Hemp is a complex plant that offers a wealth of benefits from the stalks used for fiber to the seeds used in skin care moisturizers. But this makes things a bit confusing, so let’s clear it up.

Hemp oil, often called hemp seed oil, is not hemp CBD, which is sometimes called hemp extract. You will frequently see hemp seed oil in CBD oil because it makes a great carrier oil with its beneficial fats, which include omega fatty acids.

Hemp seed oil comes from cold pressing the seeds to extract oil while CBD comes from the resin found on the flowers and leaves.

It’s important to know the difference as shady companies will market hemp seed oil as CBD oil by simply calling it “hemp oil” and saying it has anti-anxiety and anti-seizure benefits. It doesn’t. Hemp seed oil provides health benefits such as omega fatty acids that may help support immunity and heart health.

As well, hemp seeds are a good source of protein. However, it doesn’t have anywhere near as many benefits as CBD.
