First thing’s first: What is hemp oil?
Hemp oil is more of an umbrella term for oil that is extracted from parts of the hemp plant.
Hemp oil is derived from the stalks, leaves and buds of the hemp plant. It contains trace amounts of THC, although, no, it won’t get you or your pet high. It is used to help with various health issues, such as pain management.
Hemp seed oil, which we’ll be focusing on today, is made by cold pressing the seeds of the hemp plant, which do not have THC and have no more than just trace amounts of CBD. (So, again, no, it won’t get you—or your pet—high!) Hemp seed oil is FDA-approved and legal to buy and sell, and is used as a health-boosting supplement for both people and pets.
Hemp seeds, often referred to as hemp hearts, are technically nuts, and you’ve probably seen them in the grocery store, along with hemp sed oil. They’re super nutritious, being rich in omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and are a great source of protein, vitamin E, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron and zinc, making hemp seed oil similarly nourishing.
SO, WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HEMP SEED OIL FOR PETS?
So, what are the benefits of hemp seed oil for pets?
Not just a mainstay of your grocery store shelves, hemp seed oil is actually an up-and-coming ingredient in pet supplements: “When hemp seed oil is used as a supplement in a pet’s diet, pet parents may see positive changes,” says Dr. Lindsay Butzer, DVM, spokesperson for Zesty Paws. “Hemp seed oil has excellent sources of essential fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6, protein, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, which are all good for your pet.”
