Why Hemp Is Safe for Dogs — And Why We Use It in Our Products
Share
At Element Pet, we get asked one question a lot:
“Is hemp safe for dogs?”
Short answer: Yes — and it’s kind of amazing.
Let’s break down the facts on hemp, why we trust it, and how it benefits your pup (and the planet).
What Exactly Is Hemp?
Hemp is a type of cannabis plant — but it’s not the same as marijuana. It contains no THC, which is the compound that causes a high. Instead, it’s packed with natural fibers, oils, and nutrients that are incredibly useful (and totally safe) for pets.
We use hemp fabric in our collars, leashes, and bandanas, and hemp seed oil in our balms and soaps. Why? Because it works. Naturally.
Benefits of Hemp for Dogs
1. Naturally Antibacterial
Hemp fibers resist bacteria and mold, which helps keep collars and leashes from getting funky. Less stink. Less grime.
2. Safe for Sensitive Skin
Hemp seed oil is gentle, moisturizing, and non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores). Great for dry noses, cracked paws, and itchy skin.
3. Durable, Yet Soft
Hemp fabric gets softer with use but stays strong — perfect for everyday gear. It won’t fray like cotton or trap odors like synthetics.
4. Eco-Friendly
Hemp grows with minimal water, no pesticides, and regenerates soil. That means it’s better for the planet and safer for your dog.
Why We Choose Hemp at Element Pet
We built this brand because we were tired of plastic-heavy, chemical-filled dog products. Hemp lets us keep things simple, natural, and sustainable — without compromising comfort or quality.
From our Forge Collars to our natural paw balm, every Element Pet product is made with purpose and packed with care.
Final Takeaway: Is Hemp Safe for Dogs?
Yes. 100%.
Hemp is one of the safest, most versatile natural materials out there. Whether it’s in your dog’s soap or around their neck, you can feel good knowing it’s clean, non-toxic, and truly built to last.
