When it comes to picking the best supplies for our pups, we know they have to be healthy and taste great. In terms of health, it’s always wise to use products that are specifically formulated for your dog. Look for hemp dog treats that are designed for senior dogs if you want to address joint health or look for formulations specifically for puppies.
If sustainability is important to you, look for organic hemp products that are grown using eco-friendly methods and high-quality ingredients. Avoid hemp dog treats that contain artificial preservatives and stick to non-GMO products to avoid side effects caused by poor-quality ingredients.
Always look at the ingredients of hemp dog treats, especially if your dog suffers from food allergies. Some CBD and hemp treats may contain bacon, wheat, oat flour, beef, dairy, and pork, all of which may trigger allergies. For dogs with a sensitive stomach, look for options that have venison, fish, flaxseed, or sweet potato as these are usually well-tolerated by most dogs.
Dog owners should also take into account how the hemp product will be given to the dog. You can find hemp tablets that can be hidden in peanut butter and other treats for picky dogs. There are also liquid hemp options that can be squeezed onto your dog’s food. You’ll also find hemp dog treats and chews that you can use to reward your dog and support their health at the same time.
Benefits of Hemp Dog Supplements & Treats
While CBD is relatively new in terms of science and research, hemp oil has been used for centuries in alternative medicine. Research shows that hemp seed oil may support joint health, ease symptoms of seasonal allergies, and soothe anxiety. While many of these studies have been on humans, emerging research indicates that the same benefits likely apply to our favorite four-legged friends. Here are a few of the main benefits of hemp dog treats.
Supporting Joint Discomfort
Hemp seed oil may help to support discomfort caused by common joint problems and injuries. Studies show that compounds including omega fatty acids may help to decrease discomfort by supporting a normal inflammatory response. The anti-inflammatory properties of hemp seed oil may support swelling and pressure that can cause discomfort and limit mobility. Try our Hemp Mobility Chews in duck flavor, which dogs love.
Allergy Support
Like humans, dogs can get seasonal allergies that cause skin irritation, sneezing, wheezing, and itching. Hemp seed oil may help to soothe a dog’s itchy skin thanks to its hydrating properties. Studies show that lipids and fatty acids in hemp seed oil may help to reduce skin irritation, which can be particularly beneficial for dogs with seasonal skin allergies.
Hemp dog supplements may also contribute to a healthier, shinier coat. Try giving your dog salmon-flavored AllergyImmunity soft chews for much-needed allergy and immune support.
Anti-Anxiety Aid
One of the main benefits of hemp oil and CBD for dogs is that it can help calm and soothe anxiety in dogs, which is more common than you might think. Dogs can experience separation anxiety when they’re away from their humans or social anxiety in situations that are new or foreign to them. They may become nervous when they go on car rides or when they’re around people who wear hats. Dogs can also develop anxiety to loud noises such as thunderstorms, the roaring of a city bus, or trains.
Instead of giving your dog Xanax, you can use natural ingredients to help soothe their anxious feelings. Hemp oil is among the best calming treats you can give your pup when they exhibit anxious behavior including restlessness and destruction. In fact, research indicates that CBD or hemp dog treats helped to improve anxiety in 75% of cases as observed by veterinarians.
