As an animal guardian, ensuring the safety and well-being of your furry friend is of utmost importance. And when it comes to incorporating hemp oil into their daily routine, understanding the potency and quality of the product is critical. This is where the Certificate of Analysis (COA) comes in handy.
A COA is a document issued by a third-party laboratory that verifies the potency and purity of the hemp oil product. By understanding how to read a COA, you can make informed decisions when purchasing hemp oil for your animal. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make sense of hemp oil test results:
Verify the COA was conducted by a third-party laboratory: This is an important step to ensure the manufacturer is truthful about the potency of their hemp oil product.

Check the potency results: The COA should clearly state the potency of the hemp oil product in a unit of measurement such as milliliters or ounces.

Know the difference between Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum, and THC Free: Full Spectrum hemp oil products contain a small amount of THC (less than .3%) and a variety of other cannabinoids such as CBD and CBG. Broad Spectrum hemp oil products contain zero THC but still have a range of other cannabinoids, while THC Free products contain no THC and only show CBD as the other cannabinoid in the product.



Check for harmful substances: Companies will also test for metals, toxins, and pesticides to ensure the safety of the hemp oil product.

Understanding hemp oil test results is an essential step in ensuring the safety and well-being of your furry friend. By taking the time to review the COA, you can make informed decisions when purchasing hemp oil and ensure that you are providing your pet with a high-quality and safe product.
