In Their Own Words
Notes owners sent us — some the same week they started, some years later. Names shortened for their privacy; every word is theirs.
"This product really has saved our little blind dog. She was always so sweet with other dogs and then when she went blind a few years ago — she got sooo stressed out. She was so aggressive on the leash and tried to attack any dog that expressed any interest in her. Now she walks so peacefully, sniffing around and even wags and approaches dogs to say hi. We are truly blown away by the results. I can't believe how quickly it worked for her. Not only have you helped her stress level — you have helped mine immensely!"
— Hilary M. · October 2021
"Within 3 days he was a different dog. I can't even explain it, but we could just tell in his face — his whole demeanor was better. The real testament came from people who had known Radar before. I hadn't told anyone at agility class that I'd started him on it, and our teacher noticed a huge difference in him and asked what I was doing differently. Our teacher now has her own dog on it just because of how well she saw it worked for Radar. Nobody could believe he was the same dog. He has earned 2 titles in agility and his overall mood is better."
— Lindsey W. · July 2017

"I rescued my sweet horse Remy several years ago. Whenever we did a gentle trail ride he was always stiff at first, which worried me. At first I was doubtful that it would have an effect, but after only a few weeks I saw noticeable improvement in Remy's movement and gait. He was less stiff on our rides and his mood drastically improved. In fact, he doesn't nip anymore! I am thrilled with the effectiveness of this product and I intend to keep Remy on it long term."

"He was very spooky when it was windy. He would not even go into his shed to eat when we had high winds. I started giving him the CBD oil whenever it was windy and found that within 15 minutes he would be in his shed eating. He was so much more relaxed. Now he is not so flighty in the wind, whether he gets the oil or not. He is 22 this year and going strong — he just seems happier, healthier."
— Heidi M., Carson City, NV · February 2024
"It broke my heart to see him drool, pace and try to escape from the house whenever we have wind, thunder or fireworks. His eyes would actually have a terrified buggy look. Well, now when we have these events, he may stand up and take notice, but that is the extent of his reaction."
— Cosmo's owner · Amazon reviewer, Aug 2017
"I have been using this for about a month for my over anxious Great Pyrenees. He was lunging at cars and some dogs whenever we would go for a walk. Now he's calmer, still very alert, but I'm able to tell him to leave it. He's probably only lunged at a car 3–4 times since we've started, vs daily."
— Asenath N. · Amazon reviewer, Mar 2017
"We just adopted a three-year-old rescue dog who has anxiety and stress around other dogs. I have specifically noticed her handling these encounters better after a dose. She is calmer in these situations and ultimately is making us less stressed too!"
— Kathleen V. · Amazon reviewer, May 2017
"It has helped ease his anxiety immensely and has given me the opportunity to refocus him and continue our training. He is also sleeping through the night now and his appetite is great."
— Nicole P., Milford, NJ · on her dog Caleb, Nov 2017
"I gave Izzy a treat and the tincture and he has been having the nap of his life. He is usually very reactive to noise but he hasn't made a peep! I have a different brand of CBD that I've been trying with Izzy. HempMy Pet works a lot better than their line does."
— Pamela · via Zoomin Groomin Denver, May 2024
"Living on a main road, traffic and loud noises often startled and distracted Chloe while on long walks. We have seen positive results in our lovable, but anxious dog — and a noticeable increase in appetite and meal satisfaction."
— Ryan C. · Amazon reviewer, Aug 2017
"Works to calm my dog with separation anxiety. This is the perfect middle ground because it is both effective and gentle. I come home to puddles rarely now, and she still has plenty of energy when we play or go for walks."
— Kris K. · Amazon reviewer, Jul 2017
"I've noticed a remarkable change in her movement as well as her calm demeanor."
— Beth F. · on her 6yo lab mix, Sep 2017
"I run a nonprofit dog rescue and it's really been helpful with my foster dogs. I will be ordering more soon!"
— EPIC Rescue · Amazon reviewer, Sep 2017
"I have an 11 year old male boxer, Sully. He is my only family and my rock. He could not get up from a laying down position. Getting in and out of the car was hard, and the stairs — he dreaded them. He's back to his flexible self again. He's initiating walks and doesn't depend on my lifting him anymore. I'm a happy dog mom and he's got his 'wiggle butt' back again."
— Kerry C., Massachusetts · Amazon reviewer, Mar 2017
"It's been only a month and we started to see a huge difference. She is much more active and is just all around happier. Before, all she wanted to do was be alone and lay on her bed. Now she plays with my daughter and runs around the yard like a maniac!"
— Amanda H. · on Sophie, 3yo Rottweiler, Jul 2017
"I started using this product after I tried 3 other brands with no success. After a couple weeks I noticed he is getting up and moving a lot more, and occasionally he will play with other dogs in the neighborhood. He even chased a cat again for the first time in 6 months."
— Nicole · on her golden doodle, May 2017
"Have been using on our 12 year old yellow lab and 16 year old chocolate lab for only a week and see the improvement already. Both are moving easier and with more energy. The yellow lab is 95 pounds and had been having problems getting up. We can see her getting up easier. Both act like puppies at times and seem happier."
— Graham U. · Amazon reviewer, Jul 2017
"My eldest is normally stiff in the morning on his walks, and since he's been taking this, he's been much better on walks. He sleeps well with this product, and seems much more spry."
— Jackie B. · on her two corgis, Jun 2017
"I asked my vet about hemp oil and he recommended this product. After just a few days she had more energy. She's always been a happy go lucky dog, but since she seems to be feeling better she's almost puppy like again."
— Malamute owner · Amazon reviewer, May 2017
"A friend who volunteers in pit bull rescue recommended I try Hemp My Pet. Lily can't jump on the couch all the time, but she is not limping and you wouldn't know it to look at her. She is back to her old lazy self."
— Melisa S. · on Lily, 11yo pit bull, Nov 2017
"Huge improvement with my 8½ year old Lab. She 'moves out' more gracefully :)"
— Amazon reviewer · May 2017
"We noticed a very encouraging improvement in our aging dog's quality of life. His coat improved, some of the stiffness went out of him, and his anxiety appeared to diminish. The purity and quality of this product was outstanding — it's made to human purity standards."
— Christopher S. · Amazon reviewer, Sep 2017
"I have been using this for my old cat Misha. He is 17. Now he is able to climb the stairs, and plays like a little kitten again. I am amazed at the results."
— Misha's owner · Amazon reviewer, Mar 2017
"My 18-year old adopted cat Marco was yowling a lot. I've been giving him HempMy Pet once a day and he seems much calmer and is definitely crying less. He seems more chill overall, and keeps a good appetite."
— Marco's owner · Amazon reviewer, Jun 2017
"Our Manx cat has a ¼ tail and we have never been able to hold him in certain ways — sometimes he is outright cranky and we can't touch his backend. Now we can hold him, pet him, and he is so much happier and so are we!"
— Dawne · Amazon reviewer, Jun 2017
"They see the bottle come out of the fridge and they come running! They both have more pep in their step."
— two 15yo mini dachshunds · Jan 2017

The Hard Cases
Longer letters from owners who came to us when things were serious. We publish them unedited because they're what people actually wrote — not because we're claiming what happened to their animal will happen to yours.
Please read this first. Every animal below was under veterinary care, and every medication change described was directed by that animal's own veterinarian — not by us, and not by the owner alone. Hemp is a food supplement. It is not a medicine, it does not treat or cure any disease, and it is never a substitute for veterinary care. If your animal is seriously ill, call your vet. These are individual experiences, not typical results.
"Lexi's story starts in October of 2018. She was playing in the yard and I heard her scream. Not a yelp, she screamed. She was hesitant to move her neck. When she tried, she screamed again… I took her to the vet. […]
She did better … then she didn't. […] She is not getting better and she is stiff, walking very slowly. She has no muscle mass now due to being on crate rest for 2 months. It is not looking good for her. […]

She did better … then she didn't. […] She is not getting better and she is stiff, walking very slowly. She has no muscle mass now due to being on crate rest for 2 months. It is not looking good for her. […]
\nI was told by a friend to check out hemp oil. At this point I was not ruling it out. I researched hemp oil online for 2 days. I decided to check out HempMy Pet. They met every checkbox I had found online. I asked my vet if she thought Lexi could try hemp oil. The response was 'at this point it can't hurt.' We were very close to putting Lexi down. […]
\nLexi started improving within the first couple weeks. She was walking more, the spasms subsided. […] In December, she started showing interest in her squeaky toys again. It was a step in the right direction. She started walking a little more. She tried to use the little steps to the couch. She finally succeeded. […]
\nMid February she was doing so much better. She was walking, playing with squeaky toys, going up and down steps, stretching again. She was barking and playing with the other dogs. […] In mid March we ran her blood again. All her numbers came back perfect. […]
\nShe is her old self again. Barking and playing. […] She ran for the first time the other day and I have a video of it. I am a believer. HempMy Pet saved my dog. Thank you is not enough to describe how grateful I am. Natalie helped me and Lexi. Because she took the time to listen to our story and chose to help me and Lexi… Lexi is here and healthy."
— Sarah B.
Excerpted from a longer letter; all wording is the owner's. Her veterinarian directed every medication change described.
"My 82lb bernadoodle has been on the equine hemp oil since January or February of 2025 and hasn't had a seizure!"
— Sundee S.
"I put my dog on your oil as directed and unfortunately it did not stop Jinx from having seizures. It did however stop the seizures in their tracks and bought him out of them almost instantly. I was truly amazed. […] Then last week I stopped giving Jinx hempmypet and guess what? Two days later he had a seizure. […] I would dearly love to restart my subscription. I have also sung my praises of your product on an Australian Facebook dog epilepsy page."
— Samantha F.
Her dog remained on veterinary anticonvulsant medication throughout.
"During the time she was on the CBD oil, along with supplements, her discomfort… was demonstrably lessened. Throughout the time I administered the CBD, I could see a difference in her level of discomfort. […] My hope is that Fogata could be put on a controlled trial so that we could measure results more closely and accurately."
— Aria E.
"It will soon be a month that Armonie has been off his meds… He has been great and takes the oil right from the dropper and is eating good."
— Elaine K.
Medication changes were made with her veterinarian.
Collected by our team in 2019. Shared without names for the writers' privacy.
"Ky was taking 12 seizure meds daily. We are down to 1.5 pills a day… Our Khaya has her personality back."
"We also noticed a difference in his movement after 2 weeks of being on the oil."
— on a Rhodesian Ridgeback
"Since starting this product she has been able to have her medication reduced."
"We also use it on our 9yr old Papillon and he's running around and jumping like a puppy again."
"She's having no side effects and sleeping much better, so in addition her energy level has improved! An additional bonus is her skin and fur is doing better too."
— on Athena, a French Bulldog therapy dog in Alaska
"I wouldn't call it a miracle medicine, but it has really improved his condition… As our veterinarian said, it's worth a try. But check with your vet first."
"He is also less anxious and comes around when we have people over. It's all natural so we give it to our other dog as well."
Owner stories are one kind of proof. Here's the other. We ran our own research instead of pointing at someone else's — over six chapters, Dr. Robin Downing, DVM, MS, a board-certified veterinary pain specialist, walks through how the trial was designed, how it was run, and what it found. Conducted with Lori Kogan, Ph.D. and Peter W. Hellyer, DVM of Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and published in the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association.
