It might sound a bit new age, bearing in mind that people are still getting their heads around using CBD as a mainstream anxiety reliever for humans, but Love Hemp aren’t alone in believing that CBD can benefit animals.
Dr. Robert Silver, vet and author of the book ‘Medical Marijuana and Your Pet’, claims that the extract can help reduce pets’ anxiety around stressful occasions like Bonfire Night, as well as treating a variety of conditions like epilepsy.
‘In my experience, for those dogs with uncomplicated epilepsy, the hemp extract will often work better than pharmaceuticals,’ he says.
‘I also have several oncologists in a study group with the extract and they have found that CBD can help to stop the seizures and twitches that can come with brain tumors.’
The product was developed, Love Hemp say after they were inundated with requests from owners looking for cheaper, natural alternative to traditional veterinary treatments.
‘There are plenty of documented cases in the US where CBD has been more effective than the strong drugs that are typically prescribed,’ Dr. Silver goes on to say.
‘Pain relief is a huge area and for those pets with arthritis, hip dysplasia or sore joints, we are finding that the use of hemp relieves their pain and gets them mobile again.’
He also says that canine anxiety is one of the main areas where CBD could have an impact.
‘A CBD supplement can curb these emotions in your dog and protect the animal against unnecessary stress.’
The Love Hemp oil can be bought either in the form of liquid drops or as atomizer sprays which can be consumed straight or mixed with food and drink.
It’s recommended that four drops are used per 1kg of body weight, two to three times a day.
And as you might imagine, it’s providing pretty popular with the dog-owning community.

The Real OG Jack Herer Cannabis Activist The Hemperor
Jack Herer most readers don’t know the whole story; Herer’s efforts resulted in much more than a strain of pot named after him. Herer’s famous book, The Emperor Wears No Clothes, launched this Buffalo-raised Californian to fame.
The activist known as “the Hemperor” was also the subject of the 2005 documentary Emperor of Hemp, bringing his enlightened message of hemp legalization and environmentalism to an even wider and more mainstream audience.
In 1973, on the advice of his friend Ed Adair, Herer began collecting information about hemp and cannabis for a book. Twelve years later, in 1985, he published the first edition of The Emperor Wears No Clothes.
The ground-breaking book precisely documents the politics and bigotry that led to the federal-level prohibition of cannabis in the United States in 1937.
The Emperor Wears No Clothes has also been embraced by environmentalists for its focus on the thousands of uses of hemp, including its role for food, clothing, housing, fuel, and medicine.
This pioneering activist famously offered $100,000 to anyone who could disprove any part of his book. Herer’s book was so well researched, however, that no one ever took him up on the offer. Most casual tokers are unaware that Herer gave much more to the cannabis culture than merely a best-selling book about hemp.
In 1998, the tireless activist was shown a unique aluminum pipe in Jacksonville, Florida. “Each hit was the perfect hit. But there was a problem; it got hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter,” Herer told me during an interview from his Northern California home in 2006.
Coincidentally, Herer owned a small pipe company at the time. This enabled him to experiment with a variety of designs. He was obsessed with creating a pipe that avoided the heat buildup of the aluminum model he discovered in Florida.
Herer explained how standard single-hole pipes burn up to 30% of a gram of cannabis in only one or two hits. Herer and one of his sons have sold more than 30,000 of the pipes. The unique paraphernalia is marketed as a “double barrel, double venturi, ricocheting vortex” effect pipe and is available in a limited number of head shops on the West Coast and from a few online vendors. Jack Herer is a Sativa-dominant strain that combines a haze hybrid with a Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk cross. It was bred by Sensi Seeds in Amsterdam, with the participation and permission of Herer.
During one of my interviews with the famous activist, he explained how the company offered him either a percentage of the seed sales of the strain or the red carpet treatment when Herer was visiting Amsterdam, then the epicenter of European cannabis culture.
