Can Dogs Benefit From Hemp Oil?

by Vivian Song May 7, 2022

You can always trust that Hempooch hemp seed oil is safe for your dog, cat, or horse because it has been crafted by a team of veterinarians and scientists specifically for your pet. All of our products take a sustainable, organic and chemical free approach to pet care that are truly effective as nutritional and wellness supplements without worry of harmful side effects. Since hemp seed oil is derived from just the seed of the hemp plant, it contains no THC - which is toxic to dogs and cats.

Our 100% pure Australian hemp seed also contains Omega essential fatty acids, Gamma linolenic acid and a wide range of vitamins and antioxidants. Our hemp seed oil sensitive skin treatments are a great alternative to fish oils and animal-based supplements, and we have hemp seed oil in liquid and pill form to be taken orally, as well as hemp seed oil shampoos and leave-in conditioners. This one ingredient has so many benefits for your dog, which will be explained in more detail in this article.

Hemp Seed Oil Sensitive Skin Shampoos And Conditioners

Hemp seed oil has no side effects for most dogs and pets but it is always a good idea to test it out on a small area first to check for any allergic reactions or irritation. Hemp seed oil is non comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog any of your animal’s pores, and is also considered a “dry” oil that absorbs into the skin quickly without leaving behind a greasy feel. Along with its nourishing properties to pet coats, hemp seed oil sensitive skin shampoos and conditioners from Hempooch are great products to promote healthy skin and fur in your dog.

Our Hempooch Pet Shampoo with Hemp Seed Oil - Cherry Zest is infused with an exotic mix of luscious cherry, mixed berries, and zesty citrus for a luxurious fragrance that will make you want to stay close to your furry friend all day long! In addition to the cleansing and hydration benefits of this shampoo, the synergy of hemp seed oil with other key essential oil extracts designed by Veterinarians will help nourish sensitive skin while keeping your pet’s coat luxurious and silky. You can also prolong the fun of bath time and enhance the hydrating and nourishing benefits - as well as the invigorating fragrance - by using the Cherry Leave-in Conditioner immediately after the shampoo. This uniquely formulated conditioner is designed to be easily applied as a waterless, leave-in product that keeps your pet’s skin and coat super nourished for longer than shampooing alone.

It is the Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids present in hemp seed oil that does the most for your pet’s skin and coat. Hemp seed oil is growing in popularity as ingredients in many soaps and cleansers for humans for the same benefits of Omega fatty acids, and veterinarians have been adding it as a treatment for several common skin ailments and fur conditions in dogs.

Hempooch Hemp Seed Oil In Liquid And Pill Form

Hemp seed oil from Hempooch is highly concentrated to deliver its powerful anti-inflammatory agent: a balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Inflammation is a natural response by the body and shouldn’t be a cause of concern in itself, and your dog will experience some inflammation in the event of some injuries, infections, allergies, or other illnesses. But inflammation can sometimes not know when to stop, and could cause complications to the healing process. This is why hemp seed oil and its balance of Omega fatty acids is so important. Omega-6 is used by your dog’s body to facilitate inflammation, and Omega-3 will work to limit it - this is the balance that a healthy inflammatory response requires to work ideally.

Besides aiding in healthier inflammatory response pathways, the nutrients delivered through one of our hemp seed oil nutritional supplements can ease joint pain and elicit higher activity levels in your dog to promote overall wellness.

Hempooch Hemp Seed Oil Capsules for Pets are soft gel capsules that can either be mixed into their dinner or added to their favourite treats. Coating them with peanut butter is also another trick, but most dogs do not have a problem with eating these capsules at all. If yours is a picky eater, however, it is safe to place the capsule at the back of your dog’s throat and gently hold their mouth closed, massaging their throat until they swallow. Adding some positive feedback vocally will help them to get more used to taking them. No more than 2 capsules a day is needed for larger breeds, and 1 should add enough nutritional value to any small dog.

Hempooch Hemp Seed Oil Liquid 50ml for Pets offers another easy way to deliver the super nutritional value and health benefits of hemp seeds to your dog - and some pet owners find this easier to give to their smaller dogs than capsules. All that you have to do is use the dropper to measure the required amount and then mix it into your dog’s favourite meal or treats. Most dogs will even lick the liquid hemp seed oil from Hempooch off of a spoon.

For small dog breeds (under 10kg): 1/2 full dropper

For medium dog breeds (10-24kg): 1 full dropper

For large dog breeds (25kg+): 1 1/2 droppers

The fatty acids and other vitamins and minerals in hemp seed oil work powerfully to provide a normal healthy skin and coat, decrease inflammation, and are a source of extra energy for dogs. Hempooch Hemp Seed Oil sensitive skin treatments are safe to be used as shampoos and conditioners, as well as given orally to dogs in capsule or liquid form because we use 100% Australian hemp seeds that are processed organically without the use of chemicals.
