HempPet in the News
In the press
An Australian pet magazine wrote about us.

What Arthur told them
“This is a quiet but important win for Australian pets. The future of hemp in pet care depends on clarity, not confusion.”
“Pet owners need clear information about what a product is, what it is intended to do, and what claims can legitimately be made about it.”
Arthur Wajs, Co-Founder and CEO, HempPet®
Treasurer, Australian Industrial Hemp Alliance
Member, APVMA Veterinary Medicines Working Group
Eight years of paperwork nobody sees
Submissions. Consultations. Working groups. Long documents read by about nine people.
None of it sells a single thing. All of it decides what your pet's label is allowed to tell you.
For eight years we have worked with government bodies and industry to make one thing clearer for everyone: hemp seed is nutrition. HempPet® has been supplying Australian dogs and cats since 2018, and we will keep working with the regulator and the department as this moves forward.
Why clearer classification matters to you
- You can tell what a product actually is, and what it is for.
- Your veterinarian and your retailer can recommend with certainty.
- Makers spend on the food rather than on the paperwork.
We will tell you what happens next
The Government now responds to the committee's recommendations. Leave your email and we will let you know when it does. No product emails unless you want them.
HempPet® supplies nutritional supplements for dogs and cats. This page is commentary on Australian regulatory news and is not veterinary advice. For anything concerning a specific health condition, speak with your veterinarian.
