Common questions about dried hemp
Is Dried Hemp good for dogs?
Yes, we grade it as a good ingredient: recognisable and nutritionally useful, so it lifts a product’s score. Bear in mind that no single ingredient decides quality; the whole recipe and its balance matter more.
What is dried hemp in dog food?
Dried hemp is the milled leaves, flowers or stalks of industrial hemp plants, not the seeds or oil. It is added as a source of fibre, chlorophyll and other plant compounds. UK pet foods use approved low-THC hemp varieties, so it is not the same as medicinal cannabis or CBD products.
