“Hemp seed oil comes from the small seeds of the Hemp plant. The seeds do not contain the same levels of compounds as the plant itself, but they still have a rich profile of nutrients, fatty acids, and useful bioactive compounds. Full-spectrum hemp oil that also contains plant matter may add other effective compounds, which may help with certain health issues, such as inflammation (Medical News Today).”
Will hemp seed oil get your pet high?
No! Not to worry, hemp seed oil on its own will not get your pet high. Hemp seed oil does not directly contain any THC which is the compound in marijuana that causes the high feeling. In order words, like CBD, hemp seed oil is non-psychoactive.

More from Homescape Pets, “...hemp seed is considered a nutritional supplement. While it contains no CBD, it is chock-full of nutritional properties that support pet health. You probably already know about the amazing benefits of omega fatty acids that are found in other supplements, like fish oils. But you may be surprised to learn that hemp is actually one of the best sources of Omegas, too! Hemp seeds are a great way to add Omegas to your pup’s diet.”
