CBD Hemp for Cats

Gentle, organic, full-spectrum hemp made for cats — from the brand behind two university clinical trials. Shop the cat formula →

Cats are particular — about taste, about texture, about everything — so the hemp you give them has to be clean and gentle. At HempMy Pet, our hemp for cats starts with hemp we breed and grow on our Colorado farm using organic practices, then formulate in-house into a mild, full-spectrum CBD oil that mixes easily into food. Seed to sale, third-party tested, nothing your cat shouldn't have.

What Is Hemp for Cats?

"Hemp for cats" usually means a product made from hemp extract — the cannabinoid-rich oil from the hemp plant that naturally contains CBD along with CBG, CBC, and supporting terpenes. That's different from hemp seed oil, which is pressed from the seeds and valued for its omega fatty acids but contains little to no CBD. Full-spectrum hemp extract is what cat owners reach for when they want calming, wellness support. Ours is infused into gentle organic coconut and hemp seed carrier oils so it's easy to dose for even a picky cat.

How Hemp Works in Your Cat's Body

Cats — like all mammals — have an endocannabinoid system (ECS), a network of receptors that helps regulate mood, comfort, appetite, and balance. The cannabinoids in full-spectrum hemp interact with this system to support your cat's natural sense of calm. Because our oils are full-spectrum, the CBD, minor cannabinoids, and terpenes work together — the "entourage effect" — rather than relying on isolated CBD. For a vet-school overview of how CBD from hemp works, see Cornell University's veterinary overview.

What Hemp Can Support in Your Cat

Cat owners most often reach for full-spectrum hemp to help with:

• Calm & anxiety — vet visits, travel, new pets or people, loud noises, and high-strung cats. See our calming hemp collection for more.
• Appetite & everyday wellness — the ECS plays a role in appetite and comfort, which is why many owners use hemp as part of a daily routine.
• Comfort & mobility — gentle support for senior cats and stiff joints.
• Skin & coat — the omega fatty acids in our coconut and hemp-seed carriers support a healthy coat.

Is Hemp Safe for Cats?

Cats are smaller and more sensitive than dogs and metabolize compounds differently, so a cat-appropriate product and a careful approach matter. A few rules: choose a product made for pets (never a human CBD product, which can contain ingredients unsafe for cats), make sure THC is under the legal 0.3% (THC is far more concerning for cats than CBD), and start with a very small amount. Hemp is generally well tolerated; the most common signs of too much are mild drowsiness or a little GI upset, which pass on their own. If your cat is on medication, talk with your veterinarian first, since CBD can interact with some drugs. Hemp-derived products under 0.3% THC are non-intoxicating and federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill.

Hemp Oil vs CBD Oil for Cats

"CBD oil" and "full-spectrum hemp oil" are usually the same thing — both are hemp-derived and contain CBD. The difference that matters is full-spectrum hemp extract (contains CBD) versus hemp seed oil (omega fatty acids, little CBD). Every HempMy Pet cat formula is full-spectrum extract, never isolate.

How to Choose Quality Hemp for Cats

Look for full-spectrum (not isolate), organically grown hemp, a published Certificate of Analysis from a third-party lab, and a formula made specifically for pets with no harmful additives. Hemp is a phytoremediator — it absorbs whatever is in the soil — so organic, US-grown sourcing genuinely matters. We grow our own hemp on our Colorado farm using organic practices, manufacture under human-grade standards, and third-party test every batch.

A Research-Backed Brand

We invest in real research. HempMy Pet ran a clinical trial in dogs with Colorado State University and a second in horses with Tarleton State University (Texas A&M System), both using our full-spectrum hemp oil. Those studies were in dogs and horses, but they reflect the standard of evidence and quality we hold ourselves to across every formula — including the gentle ones we make for cats.

How Much Hemp to Give a Cat (and How)

Cats need far less than dogs, so start very low and go slow — a small drop mixed into wet food is the easiest way to dose a picky cat — then adjust over a week or two based on how your cat responds. Because the right amount depends on your cat's weight and the formula you choose, each product page lists exact serving guidance. Give it daily for best results, and check with your veterinarian if your cat is on medication.
