CBDV (cannabidivarin) is a minor, non-intoxicating cannabinoid closely related to CBD, found naturally in full-spectrum hemp.

CBDV: The Minor Cannabinoid Worth Knowing

CBDV, short for cannabidivarin, is one of the minor cannabinoids that rides along in HempMy Pet's full-spectrum hemp oil. It's closely related to CBD — think of it as a chemical cousin — and while it's present in small amounts, it's part of why whole-plant hemp is more than just one molecule. Because we grow our own hemp on our certified-organic Colorado farm, CBDV stays in the extract instead of being refined away.

What Is CBDV?

CBDV is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found naturally in hemp. Structurally it's a "varin" relative of CBD, meaning it shares much of CBD's makeup with a slightly shorter molecular chain. It won't get your dog, cat, or horse "high," and it's present in our hemp, which is tested to contain less than 0.3% THC.

Where CBDV Comes From

CBDV shows up in small concentrations, and certain hemp strains carry more of it than others. That's where breeding matters: most pet brands buy generic extract from a broker, but HempMy Pet runs a true seed-to-sale operation — selecting our own genetics, growing them without pesticides or herbicides, and formulating in-house. The result is a full-spectrum hemp extract that actually retains its minor cannabinoids, CBDV included.

How CBDV Works With Your Pet's Body

Like its cousins, CBDV interacts with your pet's endocannabinoid system — the network all mammals share that helps keep the body in balance. Each cannabinoid engages that system a little differently, which is the case for having the full set together rather than one in isolation.

What CBDV May Support

CBDV is one of the more actively researched minor cannabinoids, but the science is still early and largely preclinical — so we won't make medical claims about it. What we can say is that owners choose full-spectrum hemp containing CBDV for the same everyday wellness reasons as the rest of the plant: calm, comfort, and healthy aging. CBDV is a supporting compound in that whole-plant mix, not a standalone treatment.

CBDV and the Entourage Effect

CBDV earns its place through teamwork. Alongside CBD, CBG, CBC, and the plant's terpenes, it contributes to the entourage effect — the synergy that makes a full-spectrum extract more complete than an isolate. Remove the minor cannabinoids and you lose part of that balance, which is why we keep the whole plant intact.

Is CBDV Safe for Pets?

CBDV is non-intoxicating and arrives inside our full-spectrum oils, so the usual guidance applies: start low, go slow, and watch your pet. Mild drowsiness or a soft stool from too much usually resolves by lowering the amount. Every batch is third-party tested and kept under 0.3% THC. Talk with your veterinarian before starting any new supplement, especially if your pet is on medication, pregnant, or nursing.
