Why is everyone talking about Hemp Seed Oil?

The Hemp Plant

Hemp’s been around since 2800 BC when it was discovered in China, even then it was already well known that the plant provided pain-relieve. Hemp cultivation became popular in Europe by the16th century. So this is an ancient plant with a long tradition of medicinal use.

Hemp contains various types of fatty acids, plus antioxidants and phospholipids. Without boring you with all the scientific details, all you need to know is that it contains the perfect balance of Omega 3,6 and 9. 

Bugsy's Hemp Seed Oil is cold pressed so there’s minimal processing involved. Just 15ml contains 94% of your dog's daily requirement.
