For the past five years, I’ve been deeply involved in the hemp industry—working in compliance, learning the regulations inside and out, and gaining a deep appreciation for the power and potential of hemp-derived supplements. Through this journey, I’ve seen the best and worst of what this industry can offer.

Alongside me has been my beautiful girlfriend, Jenna, who has spent over a decade dedicating her life to working with animals. Her compassion, experience, and unwavering care for all creatures quickly rubbed off on me, and over time, our shared love for animals became a central part of our lives together.

As our paths continued to intertwine—hers with animals and mine with hemp—it became clear that there was a bridge between our two worlds. I began researching the growing niche of hemp-based supplements for pets. What I found was alarming.

There was a severe lack of education surrounding hemp products for animals. Most of the companies I reviewed seemed to be focused on profit over quality. They cut corners, used the cheapest inputs available, and worst of all, many of their products contained traces of THC—something that can be extremely harmful to animals. After reviewing several lab results from popular brands, I was shocked. Animals, who trust us entirely and rely on us for care, were being given products that could do more harm than good.

That’s when I knew I had to act.

I started this company not just to offer safe, high-quality cannabinoid tinctures for pets—but to educate. To shine a light on what’s really in these products, and to help pet parents make informed decisions. Because our animals are not just pets—they’re family. And they deserve supplements that truly support their health, not compromise it.

This mission is personal. It’s rooted in love—for the hemp plant, for the science behind it, and most importantly, for the animals we cherish.
