About Hemp
And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed. And God saw that it was good.
— Genesis 1:12
ABOUT HEMP
The Basics
HISTORY
A Plant of Many Purposes
The Farm Bill
Until the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (aka the Farm Bill of 2018) was passed by Congress on December 12, 2018 and signed into law by President Trump the following week, hemp was an illegal substance in the United States. With the passing of the Farm Bill, hemp and hemp-derived products were legalized federally as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC. Marijuana; however, is still a controlled substance under the Controlled Substance Act and it is listed by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) as a Schedule I drug (high potential for abuse and generally considered to have no accepted medical use). While the federal status of marijuana remains unchanged, over 30 states have legalized medical marijuana and many states have legalized recreational use of marijuana.
Why should you purchase Dr. Fossum’s Pet Care hemp extract with naturally occurring CBD and CBG?
First, our products are created by veterinarians – for veterinarians – and their patients. We became interested in CBD because we wanted to treat our pets with it, but after doing some research, we quickly realized that there was a great deal of misleading information on the internet. We also saw that many of the products being sold were bogus; some were manufactured in a manner that was not optimal (meaning harmful residues or chemicals were in the product) or they actually contained little or, in any many cases, NO CBD. Hence, we began to develop our premium products and establish our Dr. Fossum’s Pet Care brand.
DR. FOSSUM’S PET CARE Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract is a combination of two primary cannabinoids: CBD and CBG. You can find the concentration of each of these cannabinoids on our labels. Very few pet hemp products contain CBG because it is very expensive (it is known as the Rolls Royce of cannabinoids); however, there is evidence that CBD and CBG work synergistically to provide enhanced benefit. We have also added additional terpenes and a unique flavoring for each species to enhance palatability. We created our extract to deliver CBD and CBG at a precise amount per milliliter so we can more accurately quantify how much each patient is receiving (and as a prelude to our clinical trials in dogs and cats).
At DR. FOSSUM’S PET CARE, instead of using an inaccurate dropper we use oral syringes so you can more accurately quantify how much your companion is receiving per pound of body weight. To make it easier for you to administer the correct amount of CBD/CBG we provide separate concentrations for small, medium, and large dogs. We also have a cat and horse formulation.
See our Usage Guide to determine the exact amount recommended for your pet. Keep in mind that every animal is different in the way that they respond to cannabinoids, thus the amount that is most beneficial for your pet may differ from that recommended. Feel free to increase or decrease the amount until you find the right amount for your individual pet.
