According to industry experts, the utmost priority of manufacturers of cannabidiol (CBD) pet products should be the wellness of the companion animals we serve. After all, these products are intended promote wellness.

When it comes to CBD safety, the first step in ensuring a CBD product is clean is by having all finished products tested by an independent third-party, ISO-accredited laboratory and ideally testing the hemp extract prior to ever using it in a final product. Additionally, CBD manufacturers can, and should, help retailers boost sales by guaranteeing the effectiveness of their products. Manufacturers that are creating quality products should be confident in their products effectiveness when recommended for the right use cases.

According to Pawse, a CBD brand based in Kentucky, manufacturers should be instilling that confidence in their retail partners and their customers by offering a money back satisfaction guarantee.

“This assurance to the retailer and their employees goes a long way when consulting and recommending products to their customers,” said Pawse co-founder Bradley Kerrick. “With CBD as a relatively new wellness option, this provides a financially risk-free opportunity for a pet owner to purchase the product to see if they can achieve the desired results, and if not, they are fully reimbursed. This assurance goes a long way in the manufacturer/retailer/customer experience.”

Pawse also recommends that retailers and their customers be cognizant of where their CBD products are coming from, both geographically as well as where the hemp extract cannabinoid profile is coming from. From a geographic standpoint, there are many great places to grow phenomenal hemp, but Pawse notes areas that receive a significant amount of rainfall in the summer/fall months tend to be the most environmentally friendly.

“Hemp is a thirsty plant,” said Pawse director of operations Matt Frazier. “To grow as quickly and as tall as it does in just a few months, it requires a lot of water, and we’re fortunate in Kentucky that mother nature provides the plants all the water they need.”

When considering ingestible CBD products, pay attention to what additional ingredients are in the product. As Frazier explains, “it’s critical to understand the source and quality of the hemp extract [CBD], but almost as important is consideration for the additional ingredients in the products, and whether they are clean, sustainably sourced, and providing additional aid and function to the overall product.”

Research led by University of Nottingham showed that when ingested, CBD has three times greater bioavailability when paired with lipids, or fats. Pawse recommends paying attention to the primary ingredients, or the “carriers” of the CBD. Ideally, consumers want to have some animal or plant fats as a main ingredient in the product to further enhance product efficacy.
