Whole Food Nutrition
The rare plant food that does almost everything.
Himalayan hemp hearts, the soft shelled inner kernels of the hemp seed, are one of the most nutritionally complete foods in nature: complete protein with every essential amino acid, the ideal omega fatty acid ratio for dogs, GLA for skin and inflammation, plus key minerals and vitamin E. Just sprinkle on food.

Open. Sprinkle. Done.
Most dog supplements add one targeted nutrient. Hemp hearts add several foundational ones at once, in a form so digestible and palatable that the only instruction is to sprinkle them on food.
Complete protein for muscle & immune health
Hemp hearts provide all 20 amino acids, including the 9 essential ones dogs cannot synthesise, making them one of the only complete plant proteins available. The primary protein is edestin, a globular protein structurally similar to blood plasma proteins and among the most bioavailable plant proteins known to nutritional science.
Skin & coat nourishment via omega balance
Hemp hearts provide omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids at a natural 3:1 ratio, within the optimal range recommended for dogs. Most commercial diets sit at 15:1 or higher. Correcting this imbalance helps reduce the pro-inflammatory signalling linked to chronic skin conditions, dullness and shedding.
GLA for anti-inflammatory skin support
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), found in hemp at concentrations rarely available in common foods, is converted in the body to prostaglandin E1, a natural anti-inflammatory compound active in skin tissue. GLA is associated with reduced itching, improved skin barrier integrity and better coat quality in dogs with atopic and inflammatory skin conditions.
Joint comfort & anti-inflammatory support
The combination of omega-3 (ALA) and GLA offers two complementary anti-inflammatory pathways relevant to joint tissue, helping reduce the prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis that drives joint inflammation in ageing or active dogs.
Digestive health & mineral nutrition
A soluble and insoluble fibre blend supports healthy bowel motility and gut microbiome balance. The dense mineral profile (magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, iron and manganese) provides nutrients frequently deficient in processed diets, supporting enzyme function, immune activity and bone health.
Why hemp hearts are nutritionally unique.
Edestin, the most bioavailable plant protein
Hemp hearts contain two primary proteins: edestin (about 65% of total protein) and albumin (about 35%). Edestin is a hexameric globular protein, six identical subunits in a compact, easily digestible structure. Its composition closely resembles the globular proteins in mammalian blood plasma and immune cells, making it highly recognisable to canine digestive enzymes and giving it an unusually high digestibility compared to most plant proteins. It's complete, supplying all 9 essential amino acids at concentrations adequate for daily needs.
The 3:1 omega ratio, and why it matters
The ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 profoundly influences the body's inflammatory tone. Omega-6 (particularly arachidonic acid) feeds pro-inflammatory eicosanoids; omega-3 (EPA and DHA, from dietary ALA) feeds anti-inflammatory, inflammation-resolving mediators. Commercial dog food typically runs 10:1 to 25:1, far above the 2.5:1 to 5:1 range associated with optimal health. Hemp hearts' natural 3:1 ratio sits within that window, making them one of the few whole foods that can meaningfully rebalance a modern dog's diet as a daily topper.
GLA, the skin anti-inflammatory most dogs never get
GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid that, paradoxically, is anti-inflammatory: it bypasses the arachidonic acid pathway and converts to DGLA, which produces prostaglandin E1, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production in skin tissue. It's found in meaningful amounts in only a handful of foods (evening primrose, borage, blackcurrant seed and hemp seed), and most commercial diets provide essentially none. For dogs with atopic dermatitis or chronic itching, hemp hearts offer a skin-health pathway that omega-3 alone cannot deliver.
Magnesium, zinc, iron & the mineral gap
Hemp hearts are exceptionally rich in magnesium (about 210mg per 30g), a cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions including protein synthesis, ATP energy production and muscle function. Zinc (about 3mg per 30g) is essential for immune maturation, skin barrier function and wound healing. Iron supports haemoglobin synthesis and oxygen transport. Most diets meet minimum requirements but leave little margin, and absorption from processed sources is often lower than from a whole-food matrix with naturally occurring cofactors.

- THC (zero, hemp hearts are non-psychoactive)
- CBD or cannabinoids of any kind
- Fillers or bulking agents
- Artificial preservatives
- Added salt, sugar or flavouring
- Pesticide residues (Himalayan sourced)
- Dogs with dry, itchy or inflamed skin and atopic conditions
- Dogs with dull or brittle coats needing fatty acid nourishment
- Active or senior dogs needing high-quality protein
- Dogs on diets with unbalanced omega ratios
- Dogs with joint stiffness needing fatty acid support
- Any dog, as a daily whole-food upgrade to any diet
- Sprinkle directly over food. Hemp hearts have a mild, nutty flavour most dogs find naturally palatable. No mixing or prep needed, just measure and sprinkle over wet or dry food at mealtime.
- Store in a cool, dark place. Their high polyunsaturated fatty acid content makes them sensitive to heat and light. Keep sealed and away from direct sunlight; refrigeration once opened preserves GLA and omega-3 content.
- Give consistently for cumulative results. Fatty acid balance shifts over weeks, not overnight. Skin and coat improvements are typically visible after 3 to 6 weeks of daily use, while protein and mineral benefits support each meal directly.
Daily dosage
Under 10kg 1 tsp
10 to 25kg 2 tsp
Over 25kg 1 tbsp
Hemp hearts pair naturally with the Hemp Seed Oil in the range for dogs needing additional omega and GLA support, and complement Black Seed Oil, Rosehip or Bounce for dogs with active inflammation concerns.
Will hemp hearts make my dog high?
No. Hemp hearts are the shelled inner kernels of the hemp seed and contain zero THC and zero CBD, the nutritional part of the seed with no psychoactive compounds at all. They're as safe as other seeds and grains.
Why does the omega ratio matter so much?
Most commercial foods run 15:1 or higher omega-6 to omega-3, which promotes pro-inflammatory signalling linked to skin, joint and cardiovascular stress. Research suggests dogs thrive between 2.5:1 and 5:1. Hemp hearts' natural 3:1 ratio helps correct that imbalance when used daily.
What makes hemp protein different from other plant proteins?
It's one of very few complete plant proteins, with all 9 essential amino acids dogs can't make themselves. Its primary protein, edestin, resembles blood plasma proteins, making it exceptionally easy for canine enzymes to break down and absorb. Most other plant proteins are incomplete.
How long before I see results in skin and coat?
Fatty acid balance shifts gradually. Most pet parents notice better coat gloss, reduced shedding and improved skin after 3 to 6 weeks of daily use. For active skin conditions, pairing hemp hearts with daily Black Seed Oil and a gentle bath-time shampoo offers the most comprehensive skin and coat protocol.
The simplest upgrade to your dog's daily nutrition.
