Many CBD companies deal in human-grade CBD products and also offer one or two product lines with pet items. Honest Paws is a bit different and focuses primarily on pet items. According to the ‘Our Story’ part of the ‘About Us’ section of the company’s website, Honest Paws bring you premium CBD products for your pet, whom you consider part of your family. Nonetheless, the website does not offer much information about the company, and you have to reach out to them to answer most questions. Still, the beautiful pictures on the website are irresistible, and they help you understand how CBD might work well for your pet’s well-being. It’s noteworthy that Honest Paws is a young company in the CBD arena, and chest pains and kinks are expected here and there. For instance, its customer care desk is unresponsive, and the official website does not give all the details about the brand. Moreover, Honest Paws highly prices its products, which is a big challenge even though its products are high-quality. This is our full review of Honest Paws that helps you understand what it offers, its pros and cons, and much more about the brand. Could you read it, please?
About the Company
The person behind Honest Paws CBD company is Chelsea. According to the company’s official webpage, Chelsea was moved to launch the brand after her dog benefited from CBD oil. Her dog, Baby Rose, had a debilitating condition, and she took her to the vet. The vet prescribed some medication but mentioned that the dog would become lethargic and worse off, her condition might worsen. Chelsea went researching how to help her dog and learned about CBD. She experimented with human-grade CBD oil, and her dog’s condition improved. Inspired to help many other pet parents, she launched Honest Paws to deal in premium pet items.

What sets Honest Paws apart
With the many CBD brands in the cannabis space, you likely want to know what sets a brand apart. Thankfully, Honest Paws has so much to be desired, although it is only a young player in the CBD arena. The brand deals in premium products that, despite their high prices, are high-quality. Besides, it offers a fairly large assortment of products to choose from, including soft chews, bites, animal-grade oils, peanut butter, and paste. Moreover, edible items like bites and chews feature different flavors, further presenting clients with a variety. As if that’s not enough, Honest Paws has an online dosage calculator a client can use to know how much of any product his pet can take. The discounts the brand provides are also not negligible since they help one save as much as 20% of the total sales.
Manufacturing Process
Honest Paws sources its hemp from USDA-certified organic farms in Colorado, USA. Organic farms do not use chemicals or pesticides throughout, eliminating the possibility of having chemicals in final products. It then liaises with manufacturers from Indiana, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Illinois, some of whom are cGMP-certified. These manufacturing facilities use the safe and efficient CO2 extraction method to strip CBD from the hemp surface. The final extracts are in full-spectrum formulations, offering full entourage effects with a tint of THC (less than 0.3%). The next stage is about 3rd party tests that confirms potency and purity products. Although Honest Paws conducts these tests diligently, not all results are posted online, so we had to reach out to them to get CoA for some of the items we ordered for.
Range of Products
The following are the products you can expect to find on Honest Paws’ official website;
i.Honest Paws CBD Oils
The line for CBD oils includes several options for dogs, cats, and horses that are administered by weight.

What We Don’t Like About the Company
Despite the many likable things we found for Honest Paws, we did not appreciate a few things, including;
- The chat window pops up on every page, and sometimes this is annoying, especially if you want to focus on selecting products
- The dosage calculator on different product pages that help a client determine how much to give a pet is not clinically proven
- The average price point is $0.16-$0.32 per mg CBD, which is mid-range to high, even higher than what other brands offer
- The company takes as long as 24 hours to process orders
- Shipping can be delayed, and it may take as long as 4 days before orders are delivered
- The manufacturing facilities are not cGMP-certified, nor do they follow cGMP guidelines
- Lab reports are available online but finding the corresponding certificate of analysis (CoA) is the biggest issue
Our Verdict
Our review for Honest Paws was generally positive, but we picked a few kinks that need straightening. The brand deals in premium pet products and offers them in varied concentrations and flavors. However, the products are more highly-priced than competing brands, and the customer care desk is unresponsive. Besides, the website does not reveal much about the brand, and one has to reach out to the brand to get answers to basic concerns. Nonetheless, Honest Paws is still a young and good player, and ironing these kinks will help it see new business heights.
