About The Company: Canna-Pet
Canna-Pet made its debut in 2013, claiming to be the first and only producer of legal, veterinarian-recommended, non-prescription hemp products for animals.
While it’s not the only producer of hemp products for animals, it was one of the first companies that catered to pets in collaboration with veterinarians on the US market.
The Canna-Pet mission is “providing pet owners with organic, ethically-sourced products to help their beloved companions live healthier, happier, and longer lives – and ease their own worries, concerns, and fears about their pets’ health.”
Where Does Canna-Pet Source Its Hemp?
Canna-Pet uses organic American grown hemp. Thanks to the implementations of the US Farm Bill, Canna-Pet sources its hemp from multiple farms across the US, including Oregon, Colorado, Kentucky, and North Carolina. It’s currently speaking with 27 other American farmers moving into hemp production.

1. CBD Pet Oils & Tinctures
CBD pet oils are the simplest way of using CBD with your dog, cat, or horse. You can add these oils to their food or drop it directly into your pet’s mouth for faster onset of effects.
The main difference between a CBD pet oil and regular CBD oils is the flavor and potencies offered. Dogs, and especially cats are much smaller than humans, so it’s wise to use a CBD oil that has a lower potency to avoid going overboard.
Canna-Pet makes CBD oils in animal-appropriate potencies and offers guidance on which CBD oil to choose for your animal based on their weight.

This oil is categorized under CBD for Horses, but you can administer CBD to your cats and dogs, too — make sure to dilute the oil for smaller doses.
There is only one size of the MaxCBD oil available — 10 mL with 680 mg of CBD.
We found this product problematic in that the ingredients list this as 100% pure hemp CBD oil — it does not contain a carrier oil.
It specifies “No alcohol, no carrier oils, and designed for direct absorption in the mouth.”
This statement is clearly not true. The thin consistency of this product tells us there is a carrier oil in the formula. A concentrated, pure CBD oil is a sticky, sappy texture and costs well over the asking price of these products.
For reference, Real Scientific Hemp Oil sells concentrated CBD-hemp oil starting at $69.00 for 3 g of product. It’s in a syringe to efficiently administer the sticky resin.
The formula is most likely CBD extract in hemp seed oil. Hemp seed does not contain cannabinoids or terpenes, but it is rich in omega 3 and essential fatty acids.
As a highly concentrated product, the 10 mL bottle should last 20-30 days (depending on the frequency of use). We weren’t able to get a comment from Canna-Pet on this as they did not respond to our emails specifically in regards to this.
2. CBD Dog Treats
There’s no easier way to give CBD to dogs than a delicious CBD dog treat. They provide a standardized dose of CBD for every treat just like a CBD gummy or CBD capsule for humans.
Canna-Pet makes a few different CBD dog treat formulas, each with its own unique formula and flavor.

Are your pets picky eaters?
Perhaps the easiest way to administer CBD to your pets is by disguising it in a treat, and Canna-Pet has you sorted for flavors and potencies with its organic pet treats.
Canna-Pet has a list of reasons pet owners use Canna-Pet CBD Dog treats, including:
- Cancer
- Digestive and Nausea issues
- Anxiety and phobias
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Overall pain relief
- Joints and mobility
- Chronic pain and inflammation
- Itchy skin
- Nausea
- Epilepsy and seizures
- Aging and wellness
- Loss of appetite
- Skin and coat
This statement may prove to be problematic in Canna-Pet’s marketing as the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are cracking down on how CBD supplements are marketed. CBD companies cannot advertise their products to cure, treat, or mitigate diseases — doing so may result in fines or shutdowns.
The Advanced Biscuits come in three flavors:
- Peanut, Banana, and Apple
- Turkey Dinner
- Maple Bacon
Each box contains 37-40 biscuits (8 oz. 227 g) and contains 2.4 mg of CBD per treat.
If you need a stronger option, Canna-Pet has the Advanced MaxCBD treats in Maple Bacon, with three times more CBD in the box.
These treats are made with all human-grade organic ingredients and are free from nasty additives and fillers commonly found in dog treats.
3. CBD Pet Capsules
It’s rare to find capsules for pets — mainly because it’s often more difficult than it’s worth to use this method.
We recommend sticking to CBD oils or pet treats instead to avoid making your dog or cat more uncomfortable than they need to be.
$29.99 – $119.99
Canna-Pet Advanced Capsules 30 – 60 Count

The Canna-Pet Advanced Formula capsules come in two potency options for small or large pets. The formula consists of a fine full-spectrum hemp powder that contains a range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and natural flavonoids in clear vegetarian capsules.
Canna-Pet recommends mixing these capsules into your pet’s food or concealing the tablet into a soft treat.

What Does Canna-Pet Do Well?
1. Canna-Pet Website Is An Excellent Resource on CBD For Pets
Canna-Pet is a brand created by animal lovers and experts. Its blog is an excellent resource for pet health, written by animal experts and backed by research.
2. Specialized Pet Products For All Sizes
As opposed to purchasing CBD pet products from brands that mostly cater to humans, you’ll have more selection and specialization with a pet-specific brand.
Canna-Pet has CBD product options for cats, dogs, and horses with varying potencies to best suit your pet’s dosing requirements for the best value.
3. Pet-Insurance Approved
Canna-Pet products are the only CBD products you can claim through your pet insurance if you have Petplan and Trupanion (with a veterinarian’s recommendation).
Safety & Third-Party Testing
Canna-Pet says it’s committed to providing the best products for our furry companions. While it does an excellent job offering dosing information and product recommendations according to your pet’s specific ailments, it lacks the third-party lab tests to back up its high-quality claims.
Third-party lab testing help to protect consumers from purchasing potentially dangerous products. These tests ensure the product has the advertised potency and are free from harmful contaminants (pesticides, heavy metals, microbes, and solvents) that could cancel out any positive effects CBD could provide.
Canna-Pet’s Shipping & Return Policy
Canna-Pet ships everywhere in the world, except for the following countries:
If you’re making your first purchase with Canna-Pet, there’s a discount code available for 15% off your first order with the code “firstorder15“.
Additionally, for those looking to save even more money off of additional orders, Canna-Pet has a 30% discount when you sign up for its newsletter.
For added convenience, Canna-Pet offers a subscription service to auto-ship your products, when you wish (bi-weekly or monthly). This comes with a 10% discount off of the regular price.
Canna-Pet has a 30-day money-back satisfaction guarantee on its products.
Canna-Pet simply asks that you give its product a chance for an entire month or also known as “Take the Canna-Pet Challenge.” After using the product for a minimum of 30 days, then you may be entitled to a return.
However, a quick look into the fine print outlines that the offer does come with some limitations.
This guarantee is only valid until the end of 2019, limited to only on the first order made with them, only to a maximum of up to $100, AND all shipping and handling charges deducted.
Overall, Canna-Pet looks to offer an excellent range of products for cats, dogs, and horses.
It also has the added benefit of being eligible for coverage by your pet insurance, if recommended by a veterinarian.
Although Canna-Pet offers a ton of information on their website, it all proves to be a tough task navigating through it all for specific information — like its products’ Certificate of Analysis it claims to have but does not post anywhere.
We don’t recommend CBD oils as there’s not enough information about them to justify the price, and we’re not convinced the products are pure CBD concentrates.
