Gut & Immune Essentials

Most pet parents notice effects within 30 minutes to an hour after giving hemp. However, every pet is different, and factors like size, metabolism, and individual needs can influence how quickly they respond. Always start with the recommended amount, monitor how they react, and adjust as needed. For the best results, consistent use over time is key. While some benefits may be noticeable right away, incorporating hemp into your pet’s routine may provide more steady, long-term support.

Every pet is unique, so responses to hemp may vary based on factors like size, metabolism, and individual needs. If your pet is new to hemp, start with a small amount and gradually adjust based on their response. Side effects are rare, but some pets may experience mild digestive upset when first introducing anything new to their diet. This typically resolves as they adjust. Monitor your pet’s response, and if you have any concerns or don’t notice the desired results, we encourage you to reach out to our customer service team for support. If your pet’s signs persist or you believe they may need medical attention, please consult your veterinarian. Honest Paws products are made with high-quality, U.S.-grown organic hemp and are free from GMOs, soy, and corn—so you can feel confident about what you're giving your pet!

All of our Hemp products offer the same high-quality hemp, but they come in different forms to suit your pet’s preferences and needs:
‍
Hemp Oil – Fast-absorbing and customizable. Easy to measure with a dropper for personalized support, ideal for pets who need or prefer a liquid format. This oil is also present in our bites and soft chews, divided by quantity to suit different serving preferences. No chewing required!
‍
Hemp Bites – Crunchy and satisfying. Available in standard and mini sizes for flexible portioning, making them a great option for pets who love a good crunch.
‍
Soft Chews – Easy to break apart. Perfect for pets with sensitive teeth or those who need smaller, softer pieces.

Hemp typically begins working within 30 minutes to an hour, with effects lasting between four to six hours, depending on your pet’s size, metabolism, and individual response. Some pets may require more frequent servings, while others may experience longer-lasting effects. If your pet is new to hemp, start with a small amount and gradually adjust as needed. While hemp is generally well-tolerated, some pets may take time to adapt.

Hemp oil’s available in broad-spectrum and full-spectrum forms and can be used in hemp oils or tasty chews for dogs. Honest Paws’ hemp products are non-intoxicating, adhere to federal guidelines, and are lab-tested for purity and safety. While our products are safe and made with premium ingredients, we recommend waiting until at least 6 months old to administer hemp to your puppy. Puppies have developing systems, and it's always best to check with your veterinarian before adding new supplements to their routine.

With so many options available, choosing the right hemp product for your dog can feel overwhelming. Look for hemp products that are made specifically for pets. Transparency, consistency, and safety testing are key indicators of a high-quality hemp product. At Honest Paws, we’re proud to follow these same principles — from sourcing premium ingredients to maintaining strict quality and safety standards. Consider these key factors to ensure you're getting a high-quality, safe, and effective option:

✔ Source of hemp: Look for products made from organically grown, U.S.-sourced and grown hemp. Honest Paws uses USDA Certified Organic full-spectrum hemp extract to ensure purity and safety.
✔ Third-Party Testing: Choose hemp that’s independently tested for potency and purity. Honest Paws partners with an ISO 17025 Accredited Lab and provides Certificates of Analysis for complete transparency.
✔ Full-Spectrum vs. Isolate: Full-spectrum hemp oil retains naturally occurring terpenes, and flavonoids, while isolate contains only pure hemp. At Honest Paws, we use organic full-spectrum hemp extract because these compounds can work together in a synergistic way to maximize wellness benefits.
✔ Usage & Form: Consider how the product will be used—oils for precise administration, bites or chews for convenience.
✔ Ingredient Transparency: Review the ingredient list for any potential allergens or unnecessary additives.
✔ Brand Reputation: Look for brands committed to safety, quality, and transparency—like Honest Paws, which exceeds industry standards to provide premium-grade hemp.
✔ Veterinary Input: Consult your vet before introducing hemp if your pet has specific health concerns.

By keeping these factors in mind, you can confidently choose a hemp product that supports your pup’s well-being while ensuring quality and safety.
