HempMy Pet's Hemp Oil Proven Effective in Treating Dogs' Osteoarthritic Pain

New Published Clinical Trial by Colorado State University (CSU) College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

Boulder, CO — HempMy Pet™, a vertically integrated Colorado Hemp company that produces Hemp-infused pet products from medicinal hemp they grow and produce, is pleased to announce the publication of a clinical trial study assessing the impact of their hemp-derived product on dogs suffering with chronic pain and decreased functionality due to osteoarthritis.

The 90-day study was overseen by Robin Downing, DVM, MS, DAAPM, DACVSMR, CVPP, CCRP of the Downing Center for Animal Pain Management in Windsor Colorado, and Lori Kogan, Ph.D. and Peter W. Hellyer, DVM, MS, DACVAA, both of whom are professors at Colorado State University.

The study included 32 dogs that had suffered from chronic arthritic pain for a minimum of 3 months. These dogs’ owners administered HempMy Pet™ full-spectrum oil (1000mg Formula) for 3 months under the care and guidance of Dr. Downing. This study found that the addition of HempMy Pet™ Full-spectrum Hemp oil resulted in notable benefits (decreased pain scores, improvements in mobility, and improved quality of life) for 94% of the study dogs.

Pain assessments for each dog were conducted every 2 weeks during the 90-day study period. Each dog’s level of pain was scored using a 0 to 10 scale, with 10 representing the worst possible pain. The Hemp dose was adjusted as needed in response to each new assessment. The results of the study indicated that 30 of the 32 dogs experienced a reduction in pain with the introduction of HempMy Pet™ oil.

In addition to overall pain reduction, another goal of the study was to decrease the use of other pain medications (e.g., gabapentin) without increasing pain levels by introducing Hemp oil. Seventy-two percent of the study dogs were being given gabapentin at the time of enrollment, of which 10 (43.5%) were able to completely discontinue taking gabapentin after the addition of the HempMy Pet™ 1000mg oil without an increase in pain. For the 13 other dogs being given gabapentin, 11 (85%) were able to have their daily gabapentin dose reduced with the addition of the hemp oil.

Dr. Downing shared, “As a pet pain expert, I am always on the lookout for effective strategies to relieve chronic pain in my patients. My commitment to evidence-based medicine prompted my participation in this unique pilot study to evaluate hemp-derived oil from Hemp My Pet in dogs with chronic maladaptive pain – – primarily pain from osteoarthritis. I was delighted to observe that the majority of the dogs enrolled in the study demonstrated clear benefit from taking this product. “

Over the course of the study, dog owners shared their subjective impressions of their dogs’ responses to the oil. Commonly heard themes included observations of increased energy and stamina for daily activities:

“She’s more like a puppy”

“I haven’t seen him play like this for a long time”; and

“He is acting like a much younger dog.”

As Dr. Kogan, from Colorado State University, explains, “I was delighted to join this dynamic research team to run a clinical trial assessing HMP’s oil for the treatment of pain in dogs. The results of this study far exceeded my expectations.”

Dr. Hellyer, from Colorado State University, states, “I admit that I had not expected the results of this clinical case series to be so promising. The outcomes from this study suggest that hemp oil shows great promise as an effective and appropriate treatment for canine patients with chronic osteoarthritis pain.”

Overall, this study provides a solid foundation for future research into the beneficial use of hemp products, delivered in therapeutically relevant doses, to help control chronic pain in dogs with osteoarthritis-related pain as well as providing an alternative to other pain management drugs such as gabapentin.
