CBD has a lot of benefits for dogs, just like it does for people. For example, a drop of CBD oil could reduce your dog’s anxiety, treat seizures and epilepsy, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and possibly even treat cancer. Really, the CBD doggy biz is booming and for good reason: It can really make your dog feel better.



Many studies have shown CBD to be safe for dogs, and thanks to recreational weed sweeping the nation, and the fact that canine-friendly CBD products have virtually no traces of THC, pet CBD is legal all over the US.


Many cannabis brands, specifically CBD-heavy products, are leaning in to the feel-good pooch craze, but a few pet-specialty brands are cashing in on this in-demand market.

Here are a few of the big boys, who make dog-specific cannabis products with integrity and innovation.



Honest Paws


Honestly, this canine CBD brand is one of the best for your pet. Their products are 100 percent natural, non GMO, soy free, and always lab tested. Their branding suggests that like you, they are pet owners too, and their mission is to help every aging dog, or any dog with an ailment, so you can make the most of their time.


Honest Paws wants to treat your pup to a pain-free, happy life, and they offer a 30-day money back guarantee. So if your canine isn’t back to her spunky self, they’ll refund you. Chances are though, your pup will put some pep in her step. Pssst…a lot of their products work for cats too.

Canna-Pet


Canna-Pet invented hemp nutrition for pets and their worldwide pet-friendly products. They’ve mastered (and rigorously tested) treats, oils, and pills for pups that offer all the benefits of whole plant extracts and many different hemp terpenes and flavonoids.


These hemp products are designed with many pets in mind, and chances are, there’s a perfect product for your pet. Thinking of feeding your pup some hemp relief? Canna-Pet might just be the place to start. They boast of 30 years of careful research and millions of hemp capsules sold worldwide.

King Kanine


This furry friend CBD brand is well respected for the quality of their highly tested (for things like pesticides, heavy metals, and more!) products. Their magic pet line includes oils and treats, among other things, which are lovingly developed by licensed holistic doctors and nutritionists.


Every King Kanine goody is organic, but the real claim to fame here is that their CBD is obtained using a CO2 method for CBD in its purest form. And their pup pics are pretty cute on Instagram.

Pet Releaf


The owners of Pet Releaf love pets – and making pets feel better. They control the entire process – from seed to sale – to ensure they’ve made the finest, purest CBD products for pups.


The trusted products are made from hemp oil extracted from the largest certified hemp farm in the US. Made with natural and organic ingredients, and with a full spectrum of cannabinoids, these pet-friendly topicals and capsules make for a happy and healthy little best friend.

Koi CBD


Since 2015, Koi Pets has been on a mission to use 99 percent pure cannabidoil (extracted via a pharma grade process in a certified facility) to ensure pets are pain-free. Their products contain no THC and focus on the benefits of pure CBD.


They know the market is flooded with non-quality pet “pot” products and they’ve set out to make premier, natural doggo relief. So far, they’ve got natural CBD treats and an oil spray, made with superior quality as their human products.

Editors note: since the original publication, we have additional CBD recommendations for our pet lovers!

The Accidental Phenomenon That Became Strain of the Year

Here's something most people don't realize about Super Boof: the name that eventually won Leafly's 2024 Strain of the Year wasn't even the breeder's original choice.

San Diego cultivator Blockhead created this Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies cross as "Blockberry" - a straightforward nod to his breeding handle and the cherry genetics. But as cuts circulated through California's cannabis community, "Super Boof" caught on instead. The internet loves what the internet loves, and sometimes a less refined name just sticks.

Sex on Shrooms: How to Prepare Yourself

If you've tripped on psilocybin (a.k.a., magic mushrooms) before, you're already well aware what an intense experience it can be. And if shrooms can take an average activity like listening to music to an entirely different universe, you can probably imagine what sex on shrooms might feel like.

As intense and amazing as mushroom sex can be, it can also be an incredibly negative experience if you're not careful. Most psychotropic substances are best experienced when you curate the right set and setting, and sex on magic mushrooms is no different.
