If you have a pet with any type of medical condition, it’s likely you’ve heard about hemp products for pets. While hemp products are most well-known for pain management and controlling and/or limiting seizures, hemp can also help your pet with a myriad of other ailments… many of which are every day issues such as anxiety and inflammation.

PCR hemp oil, which is what we use in our hemp products for pets, is non-psychoactive. Simply put, this means you can safely give your pets hemp without worrying about getting them high. It’s a safe and legal way to treat your pet more holistically than using harsh pharmaceutics.

Some of the most commonly known uses for hemp products are listed below, though we’ve heard from pet owners who use our pet hemp products for nearly every condition. You can see some of our favorite customer testimonials here.

• Pain management
• Anticonvulsant
• Anti-inflammatory
• Used to reduce and/or eliminate stress and situational anxiety
• As a holistic antiemetic to help with nausea and vomiting
• Strengthens the immune system
• Allergies and other skin conditions

If you’re new to using hemp for your pet, it can be confusing figuring out what type of hemp product to start with. There are just so many on the market to choose from! This is why we created the CannaKit, which is a starter kit that contains some of our most loved products: CannaNatural, CannaDrops, and CannaBalm. This gives pet owners the opportunity to try biscuits, balm and oil to see which type works best for your pet.

You can save 20% on our CannaKit this month when ordered from our website. Order Healthy Hemp Pet Company’s CannaKit here and use coupon code: TryCannaKit.

Celebrations aren’t fun for everyone, especially pets! We’ve compiled five tips for pet anxiety on New Year’s Eve. These simple steps will help keep your pet feeling safe and calm.

1. Keep Pets Indoors – Do your best to keep pets indoors in a safe and calming environment with a collar and tags in case they manage to escape.
2. Exercise Pets in Advance – A tired pet is better than an anxious pet. Take them for a long walk ahead of time.
3. Make Pets Feel Safe – Comfort your pets with pets, hugs, and talk to them in a soothing tone. Make sure they can access their crate or safe place easily.
4. Avoid Noise –Try to drown out the fireworks sounds as much as possible by closing windows, turn on the radio or television.
5. Dose Pets with Hemp – Thirty minutes prior to fireworks, dose your pet with our hemp products for pets. Hemp may reduce situational anxiety and keep pets calm. You can order our pet hemp products online or check for a retail store near you that carry our hemp products.

The holidays are a magical time to spend time with friends and family, but they can be an incredibly stressful time for your pets. Pets who suffer from anxiety or reactive pets are more likely to suffer from stress during the holidays. To help keep your pet safe and sound, we’ve compiled pet safety tips for the holiday season for you.

Know Your Pet and Plan Ahead:

• If you will have additional people in your home, set up a safe space for your pet to go when they are feeling unsure, anxious, or overwhelmed. Make sure the space is far from guests and has a favorite toy or blanket for comfort.
• If there are children in the home, keep them away from pets. It can be stressful for pets to have kids around when they are already feeling overwhelmed.
• Holiday parties and house guests can be especially stressful for pets. Even if your pet doesn’t suffer from anxiety, keep a close eye on them around new people or even known people. The holidays don’t always bring the best behavior out in pets. A house full of people, holiday decor, loud noise, unfamiliar food smells… it all adds up. To combat anxiety consider dosing your pet with hemp ahead of time. If you’ve never used our products, try our new CannaKit™. Otherwise, order our hemp products for pets online or pick up from a local retailer.  

Holiday Toxins to Avoid:

• Keep chocolate, grapes, and raisins far from your pet. A seemingly safe fruitcake can be dangerous for your dog.
• It’s so tempting to share delicious holiday food with begging pooches, but remember that even the smallest amount of fatty, rich foods can severely harm your pet’s digestive system.
• If you have holiday guests, remind them not to share food/drink with pets, and to keep all potentially hazardous items tucked away.

Potential Holiday Hazards to Be Aware Of:

• If you celebrate with a Christmas tree, make sure it is securely anchored to the ground so there are no chances of it falling on your curious pet. Avoid editable ornaments like popcorn garlands, gingerbread ornaments, etc.
• If you have a real tree, clean up pine needles often and do not allow your pet to drink water from the tree stand.
• If you celebrate Hanukkah, be sure to keep your menorah out of reach of your pets.

Stick to Your Routine:

• It can be so easy to get caught up in the holidays, but don’t forget about your pet’s daily needs. More than ever your pet needs mental stimulation to avoid boredom and stress. Make time for your furry friend.
• Don’t miss daily walks with your dog. Walking will reduce stress!

And lastly, the most important pet safety tips for the holiday season? Love and snuggle your pet! Not only will they feel safe and loved, you will too! Have a wonderful holiday season from the Healthy Hemp Pet team!
