HolistaPet was launched in 2016 and is celebrating its sixth year in the CBD arena this year. It has established itself a reputation and a good name in the cannabis space because of not having had any FDA warning since then. Moreover, it holds an A+ score on the BBB website, generally showing the brand is doing well in most boxes. It offers broad-spectrum CBD products for pets, including cats, dogs, and horses. It is impressive how the brand diligently formulates its CBD products since every item in the inventory passed CBD tests, as seen in their variances which were less than the 10% acceptable limit. Nonetheless, there is always room for improvement, and HolistaPet is no exception to this. Although it advertises full-spectrum products, the certificates of analysis (CoA) and product pages show that it only offers broad-spectrum items. Moreover, it does not offer international shipping, meaning that countries outside the USA cannot benefit from its products. As if that’s not enough, it does well in potency tests but does not post contaminant test results. Here is our full 2022 review for HolistaPet, and we hope it helps you understand the brand.
About the Company
HolistaPet was created courtesy of the combined efforts of health-conscious individuals interested in helping find natural remedies that can scale done your pet’s physical and mental ailments. The products come in broad-spectrum formulations for the entourage effects of multiple cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, and isolate for 99% pure CBD taste. HolistaPet wholly focuses on pet items and deals in products that help cats, dogs, and horses of all weights and breeds improve their well-being. You can buy the products in capsule, edible, topical, and tincture forms, and the brand promises that any product should help your pet.

This, plus the 30-day money-back guarantee, free shipping for all orders, and affordable prices, make it great.

Hemp Quality
Hemp quality is directly proportional to the final products, ultimately influencing the kind of customer response a brand will likely receive. As such, reputable brands choose high-quality hemp to manufacture premium CBD products, and HolistaPet is no exception. The brand sources its hemp from the organic farms in Oregon before moving it to Colorado for processing. Organic farms do not use fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides throughout the cycle, lowering the risk of contamination when CBD biomagnifies in the animals’ bodies.
Buying Experience
We loved our shopping experience with the HolistaPet website. The page is easily navigable, making the shopping experience enjoyable. The Shop button lists every CBD item in the inventory, including tinctures, edibles, topicals, and capsules, and shopping is about selecting a product and adding it to the cart. Once done, you proceed to the checkout, fill in your billing and physical address details, and the order is processed. The company offers free shipping to all orders to all the US destinations, but expedited shipping has its cost calculated at the checkout.
Transparency
Transparency is important for any business, including CBD brands. The Foods and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate CBD items as it does for drugs, but some guidelines direct the cannabis space. As such, the brands are required to conduct 3rd party potency and purity tests and post the results on the website. HolistaPet partially meets these requirements because it conducts potency but not purity tests. This is why the online centralized hub only has potency test results.
Accuracy
While reviewing a CBD brand, we also check the accuracy of its test results. This shows not only that a brand is committed to offering quality products but also demonstrates consumer concerns. Almost all the items in the HolistaPet inventory passed potency tests and recorded a variance less than the 10% acceptable limit, showing the total CBD amounts did not exceed the limit, neither were they way too less than the stated amounts. However, the brand needs to assess its products for contaminants such as heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins, solvents, and residues.
Manufacturing Process
HolistaPet is a legal US hemp grower that sources its hemp from Oregon farms. According to the websites, the Oregon farms practice organic farming, meaning that no pesticides, chemicals, or solvents are featured at any stage of the manufacturing cycle. The hemp plants mature, they are harvested and taken to Colorado for processing, where the clean and safe CO2 extraction method is used to strip CBD from the hemp surfaces. This technique is considered safe in the cannabis arena since it leaves no solvents behind while efficiently stripping CBD and other versatile compounds. The extracts are in broad-spectrum and isolate CBD formulations, and some of them are further formulated with MCT oil for increased bioavailability.
The next stage is 3rd party testing, a quality and control step that ensures extracts have THC and CBD potencies as indicated on the labels and that they are free of standard contaminants like heavy metals, mycotoxins, microbials solvents, and residues. HolistaPet conducts potency tests but the CoA and lab results on the website lack purity test results, showing that the brand does not test products for purity.

What We Like About the Company
Our review found a handful of things likable about HolistaPet, including;
- The brand offers free shipping for all orders to all destinations, helping low-income clients take care of the financial burden
- Specializing in pets helps the brand produce the best-quality products for pets instead of mixing one or two pet lines in a human-grade CBD inventory
- The 30-day money-back guarantee applies here, accepting claims by dissatisfied clients and offering full refunds when the claims are justified
- The company deals in products that guarantee tastes
- You can find a suitable CBD product for your pet, irrespective of its weight or breed
- The advisory from the Veterinarian Council offered on HolistaPet’s website offers researched suggestions for pet owners
- The $0.11 price point is average and well within the market range, and what other CBD brands of the same caliber offer
- Using organic hemp means the brand lowers the chances of getting pesticides and chemicals into the human system

What We Do Not Like About the Company
Although HolistaPet offers us many reasons to like it, it has its flaws and kinks it needs to straighten to perform even better in the CBD space. Here are our top concerns about the brand;
- Currently, HolistaPet does not offer international shipping
- Although the brand diligently conducts 3rd party potency tests and posts the results online, the same is not true for purity tests because their results are missing online
- the brand advertises full-spectrum products, but its inventory does not feature any
- it’s somewhat tricky to access the centralized lab results hub in the FAQ link
Our Verdict
Generally, we liked our review for the HolistaPet brand and would recommend the company as one of the best in 2022 and above. Although it does not have an excessively wide assortment of products, it celebrates a modest line with CBD pet capsules, edibles, topicals, and tinctures, all of which passed the CBD potency tests, posing variances lower than the 10% acceptable limit. Moreover, the company sells its products affordably, offers free shipping for all orders, uses organic hemp to manufacture its pet CBD items, and guarantees clients their money back when their claims are justified. Nonetheless, there is always room for improvement, and the brand is no exception. Its main flaws include not posting contaminant test results online, offering broad-spectrum CBD lines only despite including full-spectrum in its adverts, and not offering international shipping. The brand will see new business heights in the CBD space if it corrects these kinks.
GP
The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
