Hemp for pets review 2022

Hemp For Pets is a product line under HempMeds, a reputable CDB brand specializing in CBD and hemp products for pets. The brand does not have an elaborate CBD pet product inventory but boasts a variety within the main classes available. It basically trades CBD edibles, topicals, and tinctures, which are available as soft chews, balms, hemp oil, and environmental chews. Although it has many products, Hemp For Pets only offers pet products for cats and dogs and not horses, which is one of its major kinks since most pet brands would offer CBD for horses. Nonetheless, it takes pride in upholding the highest safety standards observed in manufacturing human-grade CBD products. For instance, it uses organic-certified, non-GMO hemp to manufacture its isolate-based and full-spectrum CBD products, it is a member of the US Hemp Authority, uses the clean CO 2 extraction method to strip CBD from the hemp surfaces, and rigorously conducts independent 3^rd party tests. However, it does not avail the lab results online, which is a major red flag, considering that lab reports are an indication of transparency in the CBD arena. Are HempMeds’ Hemp For Pets products worth your money? This is our full 2022 review, which discusses the brand’s strongholds and weaknesses, helping answer the question.

About the Company

HempMeds is a popular CBD brand with a large loyal customer base. Although it is famously known for human-grade CBD products, it has a CBD division that trades in pet products, herein called Hemp For Pets, which is our focus in this review. The division does not have a wide assortment of CBD product categories but basically trades tinctures, topicals, and pet edibles. As such, you can buy hemp oil for your cat or purchase pet chews for the whole pet family. There are various products across the categories, which you can take advantage of. If you don’t want hemp oil, you can opt for CBD oil. If you don’t deem pet chews fit, you can go for topicals. As such, there is a modest variety to choose from.

According to the website, Hemp For Pet products have multiple functions, including boosting your animals’ cardiovascular conditions, promoting joint wellness, managing neurological disorders, and handling myriads of problems the pets may have. Nonetheless, CBD brands are not controlled by the FDA, meaning these statements can hardly be verified. Still, they are a good way to introduce something new to your pets.

Hemp Quality

Hemp quality is a critical factor in the CBD arena because it determines the quality of the CBD products a brand produces. These, in turn, determine whether a brand gets hold of or loses its loyal customers. Consequently, reputable brands liaise with reputable hemp farmers to source hemp, and Hemp For Pets is no exception. The brand sources its hemp from European farms, specifically in the Netherlands. Being a member of the US Hemp Authority, it upholds the highest hemp-growing practices. The hemp plants herein are certified organic and non-GMO, which is ideal, considering the myriads of controversies surrounding the genetic modification of organisms and their consumption. What’s more, the growing practices at the farm are organic and sustainable, ensuring no chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides find their way into the final products.

Manufacturing Process

HempMeds is a legal hemp grower and processor that sources hemp from European farms in the Netherlands and uses it to manufacture its Hemp For Pets products. As mentioned above, the hemp in these farms is certified organic and non-GMO, and is in line with the concerns surrounding the genetic modification of organics because of ethical reasons. The brand is a proud active member of the US Hemp Authority and ensures the highest growing practices that limit the introduction of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides into the final products and also ensure environmental conservation.

HempMeds applies the clean CO₂ extraction method to strip CBD oil from the hemp surfaces, and the same technique is applied when manufacturing the Hemp For Pets products. This technique is deemed safe in the hemp space because it attaches no solvents to the final products. Besides, it is considered efficient because it carefully removes what is needed, leaving behind unwanted parts.

The next stage is independent lab testing, a quality and control stage CBD brands execute to ensure the CBD products they produce are potent, contaminant-free, and safe for consumption. As such, the tests examine the CBD products for THC and CBD potencies, compare the variances, and indicate the results. Besides, the test the absence or presence of standard contaminants, including heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins, residues, and solvents, and indicate the results on the lab reports section. Unfortunately, Hp For Pets takes pride in conducting lab tests, but there are no online lab reports to qualify this statement. Moreover, the QR codes indicated on the labels are not scannable, and even when we reached out to the customer care desk for these results, we did not receive any response.

The therapeutic claims the division attaches to its CBD products have not been verified by the FDA
The 14-day money-back guarantee is short-lived and limited to unopened and unused products
Unlike most established CBD brands, HempMeds’ Hemp For Life does not have military veteran discounts

Our Verdict

Hemp For Pets is a product division under HempMeds, and it offers CBD pet tinctures, topicals, and edibles. Although the inventory is not elaborate in categories, it boasts a fair variety of products the clients can choose from. Hemp For Pets takes pride in applying human-grade standards in manufacturing the pets’ CBD products, including non-GMO, organic-certified hemp, the clean CO₂ extraction method, rigorous 3^rd party testing, and has other advantages the customers can enjoy, such as the 14-day money-back guarantee and the free shipping arrangement for orders worth $100 and above. Still, the division has serious kinks it needs to straighten to excel in the CBD arena. Its free shipping threshold is high and may not be attained by all clients, it lacks military veteran discounts, its money-back guarantee is short-lived and limited to unopened products, it does not post lab results online. These kinks may slow down the line’s progress, but straightening them will help it perform better in the hemp space.
