With the rise of CBD products for pets, many people are finding that the terminology used to label some of these products can be very confusing. Most importantly, people are asking "what's the difference between hemp & CBD for dogs?"
We've got answers to all of the most common questions about hemp oil, CBD, hemp seed oil, and all of the variations of those in this article. Let's take a look.
The Difference Between Hemp Oil and CBD Oil for Dogs
The short answer is that there is no difference. Hemp oil typically contains CBD, and most CBD oils are just full-spectrum hemp oils.
A full-spectrum hemp oil is simply hemp oil that has not had any of the active ingredients extracted from it. These oils contain the "full-spectrum" of natural cannabinoids that grow in the hemp plant.
For example, Lolahemp sells full-spectrum hemp oil for pets. This contains naturally-occurring CBD as well as all of the other cannabinoids in hemp. You could call this a hemp oil or a CBD oil, and you'd be right in both cases.
Pure CBD Oil Tinctures are Different from Hemp Oil
CBD extracts that have been entirely stripped from the other natural ingredients in hemp are called CBD isolates.
These oils can be beneficial, but tend to be less effective than full spectrum oils. CBD isolates are extracted more heavily and go through a more extensive chemical processing sequence to achieve the final product.
Hemp Seed Oil is Not The Same Thing as Hemp Oil
Hemp seed oil is distinct from hemp oil. Hemp seed oil is made from the nutrients extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant, and it can provide a variety of benefits from the essential fatty acids and nutrients present.
That said, hemp seed oil doesn't contain any cannabinoids. Cannabinoids like CBD and CBG are what contribute to the significant benefits that many dogs see from the use of CBD. Hemp seed oil has its own benefits, but it won't provide calming or joint support benefits like CBD will.

Comment
Hello! Yes I’ve tried just about many CBD oils for pets and them for humans started giving it to my 13 year old female American pitbull terrier. After a month or so I started nursing a change for the better. She started walking a little bit better, not limping as hard and not complaining or whining as much because she was in pain. Okay well God willing that your product will be the ultimate blessing along with the daily powerful prayers I or we say for my/our family member or loved one. ( Yup, she’s (Shadow) way more than just the family dog) Amen!
