If you’re a proud parent of a furry baby, you will definitely relate to the desire to always spoil them with their favourite things. Whether it be a new chew toy, some exotic-flavoured food, or even a cute little collar, the urge to perpetually keep them happy feels almost like a responsibility. Nothing beats the absolute joy plastered on your dog’s face when they run toward you, brimming with excitement, to get their hands on the treat you are equally excited to give to them.
Bearing in mind the medicinal benefits of hemp in low (and legal) amounts, it is reported that dogs and cats benefit from THC use ‘including treatment of pain, arthritis, seizures, anxiety, inappetence, cognitive dysfunction and more,’ as mentioned by Veterinary Practice News.
India, too, is wary of these benefits and a few brands offer hemp-infused edible treats for your fur-babies. Depending on your dog’s needs and tastes, you can try one of these treats, or even a combination of them, to aid them in a journey to better overall health, while also giving them a yummy snack!
Here are four hemp dog treats you can include in your dog’s routine:
I. Bark Out Loud’s Hemp Chewstix
Suitable for dogs as well as cats, the Bark Out Loud Hemp Chewstix focus on your pet’s coat and fur. Cold press technology is used to extract natural hemp seed oil and powder. Coupled with Vitamin E, Omega 3, and Omega 6 fatty acids, the treats cater to your pet’s well-being.
Each chew stick contains the required daily dose of hemp seed extract to ensure good health. It is also flavoured with chicken and chicken liver to suit the tastes of dogs and cats alike.
Each pack of 100g retails for INR 250.

The list of benefits seems endless with strengthened immunity, improved skin, better metabolism, healthy digestion, supported gut health, and more. It is high in dietary fibre and also provides nine essential amino acids for the upkeep of good health.

III. India Hemp & Co.’s Good Doggo Hemp Treats
The power of natural ingredients such as turmeric, ragi, hemp seed flour, flaxseed, and cinnamon is boosted by the various benefits of natural hemp. India Hemp & Co. consulted vets, nutritionists, and even bakers as they developed these likely-to-be-gobbled treats for dogs.
The hemp component of the treats aid in soothing anxiety, lowering the risk of heart disease, strengthening joint health, reducing skin irritation and allergies, and maintaining a healthy coat. It is also high in fibre and protein. The advised portion is 2-3 treats per day for small dogs, 4-5 per day for medium-sized dogs, and 6-7 per day for large dogs.
Each pack contains 360g (100 treats) and is priced at INR 890.
