What Is Hemp Oil for Dogs

Last Updated June 2019

Extracted from the hemp seed plant, hemp seed oil is something that can be very helpful for your dog. The plants that are used in the process are of the industrial hemp type. These varieties are legal, because they contain very little THC in them. THC is the substance that exists in marijuana that makes people feel high.

On the other hand, hemp oil is rich in essential fatty acids and nutrients. Specifically, they are abundant in omega-3 and omega-6, even more so than flaxseed and fish oils! With that being said, there are still common misconceptions surrounding hemp oil. This is because some people mistake it for CBD oil. Hemp oil is its own entity, and has its own specific purposes.

Hemp Seed Oil for Dogs

According to Dogs Naturally Magazine, the main ingredient in Hemp Oil is Gamma Linolenic Acid, or GLA. Even healthy dogs can be deficient in GLA. GLA is important because it is in essential building block for hormone-like substances in the body, that help to control inflammation and support other bodily functions. If someone is GLA deficient, this can lead to allergies, arthritis, premature aging, digestive issues, diabetes, skin problems and even cancer. For these reasons, your dog needs to get enough of GLA and your dog can get it from hemp oil supplementation.

According to Dogs Naturally Magazine, here are a few of the many health benefits of GLA:

  • Managing the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis
  • Reducing skin allergies
  • Managing weight
  • Cancer prevention

Omega 3 and Omega 6

Fatty acids are used by the body to combat inflammation. It is much the same with dogs. Long-term chronic inflammation in the body can lead to the following conditions:

  • Arthritis
  • Allergies
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • Liver or Kidney Disease
  • Cancer
